Production of a twin single hypernuclei and the Ξ−-nuclear interaction

Abstract An event accompanied by two single hyperfragments emitted from a Ξ− nuclear capture at rest was found in a nuclear emulsion. It is interpreted as a Ξ−-12C bound system decaying into either a) Λ4H + Λ9Be, b) Λ 4 H + Λ 9 Be ∗ or c) Λ 4 H ∗ + Λ 9 Be . The binding energy of the Ξ-12C system is obtained as a) 3.70−0.19+0.18 MeV, b) 0.62−0.19+0.18 MeV and c) 2.66−0.19+0.18 MeV, respectively. The system is considered as a Ξ− hypernucleus in the cases a) and c). In case b), this event and another event of the same type (Yokohama event) can both be interpreted as a decay from the Ξ-12C system in 2P state when a shallow Ξ−-nuclear potential is assumed.
