U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science: Investigation of Light Hypernuclei by Pion, Kaon, and Photon Beams

9603216亨格福德 该奖项支持休斯顿大学的艾德V.亨格福德教授和日本仙台东北大学的桥本修教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。 研究人员将通过π介子、K介子和光子束对轻超核进行研究。 合作的目标是选择性地研究S=-1和-2轻超核。 他们将集中研究超核物理的那些方面，这些方面更好地阐明了强子多体物理中未解决的问题。 这种合作需要理论家和实验家之间的密切工作关系，这一直是该领域的传统优势之一。 研究人员计划利用一些新的实验设施刚刚或即将投入使用的事实，来研究嵌入奇怪超子的原子核。 这些设施应提供新的、更精确的信息，从而预期在这一领域取得重大进展。 通过交流思想和技术，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识，促进国际理解与合作。 ***

9603216 Hungerford This award supports a three-year collaborative research project between Professor Ed V. Hungerford of the University of Houston and Professor Osamu Hashimoto of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The researchers will undertake an investigation of light hypernuclei by pion, kaon, and photon beams. The goal of the collaboration is to selectively study S=-1 and -2 light hypernuclei. They will concentrate their investigation on those aspects of hypernuclear physics which better elucidate unsolved problems in hadronic many-body physics. This collaboration requires close working relations between theorists and experimentalists, which has been one of the traditional strengths of this field. The researchers plan to take advantage of the fact that a number of new experimental facilities have just been, or will soon be commissioned, for the study of nuclei embedded with strange hyperons. These facilities should provide new, more precise information thus anticipating a major advance in this field. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. ***
