Bethe phase variation due to a non-exponential nuclear amplitude and the possibility of using a $t$-dependent phase to determine the $ρ$-parameter from elastic scattering data

We evaluate the possible deviation (from the conventional Cahn's result) of the phase between the one-photon-exchange and the `nuclear' high energy $pp$ scattering amplitudes in a small $t\to 0$ region caused by a more complicated (not just $exp(Bt)$) behaviour of the nuclear amplitude. Furthermore we look at the possible role of the $t$-dependence of the $ρ(t) \equiv$ Real/Imaginary amplitude ratio. It turns out that both effects are rather small - much smaller than to have any influence on the experimental accuracy of $ρ(t=0)$ extracted from the elastic proton-proton scattering data.

Measurement of the branching ratio of the decay $Ξ^{0}\rightarrow Σ^{+} μ^{-} \barν_μ$

From the 2002 data taking with a neutral kaon beam extracted from the CERN-SPS, the NA48/1 experiment observed 97 $Ξ^{0}\rightarrow Σ^{+} μ^{-} \barν_μ$ candidates with a background contamination of $30.8 \pm 4.2$ events. From this sample, the BR($Ξ^{0}\rightarrow Σ^{+} μ^{-} \barν_μ$) is measured to be $(2.17 \pm 0.32_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm 0.17_{\mathrm{syst}})\times10^{-6}$.

The high-intensity hyperon beam at CERN

A high-intensity hyperon beam was constructed at CERN to deliver Sigma- to experiment WA89 at the Omega facility and operated from 1989 to 1994. The setup allowed rapid changeover between hyperon and conventional hadron beam configurations. The beam provided a Sigma-flux of 1.4 x 10^5 per burst at mean momenta between 330 and 345 Gev/c, produced by about 3 x 10^10 protons of 450 GeV/c . At the experiment target the beam had a Sigma-/pi- ratio close to 0.4 and a size of 1.6 x 3.7 cm^2. The beam particle trajectories and their momenta were measured with a scintillating fibre hodoscope in the beam channel and a silicon microstrip detector at the exit of the channel. A fast transition radiation detector was used to identify the pion component of the beam.
