Study on 6 H hypernucleus by the (¼ − , K + ) reaction at J-PARC

We carried out an experiment to produce the neutron-rich hypernucleus 6H via the (¼ − , K + ) reaction on 6 Li target at the pion beam momentum of 1.2 GeV/c (J-PARC E10). In order to calibrate the scale of the missing-mass or of thebinding energy of the hypernucleus, we also measured the 12 C(¼ + , K + ) 12 ¤ C, p(¼ − , K + )§ − and p(¼ + , K + )§ + reactions. The experiment was performed at the J-PARC Hadron Hall K1.8 beam line in December 2012 and January 2013. The overall collected data sample corresponds to an integrated beam intensity of 1.65× 10 12 pions.
