Σ hyperon production in pn interactions at ANKE/COSY — •Egor Shikov — Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina, Russia — Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany

The production of light hyperons in pp and pn interaction constitutes a large part of the scientific program at the ANKE-spectrometer, which is an internal-beam experiment at the Cooler Synchrotron (COSY).

In this work the pdpsppK+Σ reaction is investigated using two samples of data with 2915 MeV/c and 3015 MeV/c beam momenta. The deuteron target has been used as an effective neutron target by measurement of the spectator proton’s momentum. Thus events of the pnpK+Σ reaction could be reconstructed by using the spectator approximation. The Fermi motion of on-shell neutron allows to cover a wide range of excess energies (Q = 30 - 130 MeV) for this reaction.

Reaction identification has been done using the missing-mass technique. About 1000 events associated with Σ hyperon production are observed in a peak of missing mass for events with detected K+ meson together with high momentum and spectator protons. The normalization procedure has been done using events of proton-deuteron elastic scattering.

Preliminary results for the energy dependence of the pnpK+Σ total cross section will be presented.

This work is supported by COSY-FFE.
