Description
Recently several experiments with Kaon beams, aiming to study the existence of kaonic bound states, have been carried out. Along with these experimental approaches, our Excellence Cluster Universe group has developed in the last two years a new method, based on proton induced reactions at intermediate kinetic energies (E=2-4 GeV), to approach the experimental quest of such states.
In particular, we have performed two dedicated experiments at GSI with two different spectrometers to study the properties of the Lambda(1405) resonance and the possible existence of the pK-p bound state.
These two objects might be linked in the production mechanism via the proton reactions.
We report on the development of new detector systems, which have been constructed to achieve the measurements and on the analysis of the so far collected experimental data.
