Résumé : | A study has been made of the production of hyperfragments by the interactions of K--mesons of 3.0 and 5.0 GeV/c momentum in nuclear emulsion. The observed frequencies of production, (3.0±0.1)% and (2.2±0.1)% respectively, are significantly smaller than at lower K--meson momenta, while the range distributions show a relative increase in the number of hyperfragments of range greater than 5 μm. This increase is attributed to a larger contribution from the fragmentation process, which is especially significant at intermediate ranges [(10÷50) μm], and to greater mean ranges for the heavy hyperfragments, which broaden the peak at short ranges (≤10 μm). The hyperfragments of range less than 10 μm are mainly heavy residual products of silver and bromine nuclei; their mass numbers differ on the average from those of the parent nuclei by about 30 and 35 nucleon masses for 3.0 and 5.0 GeV/c interactions respectively. Eight examples of π- mesonic decays of heavy hyperfragments, and one probable example of a double hyperfragment, have been observed. © 1966 Società Italiana di Fisica. |
