Examples
-
When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.
-
Hyperon-hyperon interaction makes the EoS softer resulting in a smaller maximum mass neutron star compared with the case without the interaction.
Science 2006
-
As large number of hyperons may be produced in dense matter, hyperon-hyperon interaction is important and included in this model.
Science 2006
-
We investigate the effect of exotic matter in particular, hyperon matter on neutron star properties such as equation of state (EoS), mass-radius relationship and bulk viscosity.
Science 2006
-
It was contaminated by a large flux of L0, and so was also a hyperon beam, permitting the first measurements of L0 cross-sections as well as the
-
Delta0 + gamma, which demonstrated the existence of the Sigma0 hyperon and gave a measure of its mass.
-
I moved to the larger machine where I continued to do some weak interaction experiments, like for instance the determination of the parity violation in the beta decay of the lambda hyperon.
-
During this period, with a series of excellent students, we further studied hyperon decays.
-
S° hyperon as well as differential cross-sections for the production of those particles by pions.
-
Other experiments yielded information on pion-proton scattering, parity violation in non-leptonic hyperon decay, and the branching ratios in positive K meson decay.
