Abstract

This Letter is concerned with the study of the K(stop)(-)A -> pi(+/-)Sigma(-/+)A ' reaction in p-shell nuclei, i.e., (6.7)Li, (9)Be, (13)C and (16)O. The pi(+/-)Sigma(-/+)/K(stop)(-) emission rates are reported as a function of A. These rates are discussed in comparison with previous findings. The ratio pi(-)Sigma(+)/pi(+)Sigma(-) in p-shell nuclei is found to depart largely from that on hydrogen, which provides support for large in-medium effects possibly generated by the sub-threshold Lambda(1405). The continuum momentum spectra of prompt pions and free sigmas are also discussed as well as the pi(+/-)Sigma(-/+) missing mass behavior and the link with the reaction mechanism. The apparatus used for the investigation is the FINUDA spectrometer operating at the DA Phi NE phi-factory (LNF-INFN, Italy). (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
