The enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (−)‐haouamine B pentaacetate was accomplished via an optically active indane‐fused β‐lactam, which was prepared by a newly developed Friedel–Crafts reaction. Subsequent cleavage of the β‐lactam and an intramolecular McMurry coupling reaction provided the core indane‐fused tetrahydropyridine, which led to the elucidation of the structure, as proposed by Trauner and Zubía.
The small binding energy of hypertrition leads to predictions of non-existence of bound hypernuclei for the isotriplet three-body system such as nnΛ. However, invariant mass spectroscopy at GSI reported events that may be interpreted as the bound nnΛ state. The nnΛ state was searched for by missing-mass spectroscopy via the (e, e′K+) reaction at the Jefferson Lab’s experimental Hall A. The present experiment has higher sensitivity to the nnΛ-state investigation in terms of the better precision by a factor of about three than the previous invariant mass spectroscopy. The analysis shown in this article focuses on the derivation of the reaction-cross section for the 3H(γ*, K+)X reaction. Events that were detected in an acceptance, where a Monte Carlo simulation could reproduce the data well ($|\delta p/p| < 4\%$), were analyzed to minimize the systematic uncertainty. No significant structures were observed with the acceptance cuts, and the upper limits of the production-cross section of nnΛ state were obtained to be 21 and $31~\rm {nb/sr}$ at the 90%-confidence level when theoretical predictions of ( − BΛ, Γ) = (0.25, 0.8) and (0.55, 4.7) MeV, respectively, were assumed. The cross-section result provides valuable information to examine the existence of nnΛ.
JLab E12-19-002 Experiment is planned to measure the Λ-binding energies of 3ΛH [Jπ = 1/2+ or 3/2+(T = 0)] and 4ΛH (1+) at JLab Hall C. The expected accuracy for the binding-energy measurement is |ΔBtotal Λ | ≃ 70 keV. The accurate spectroscopy for these light hypernuclei would shed light on the puzzle of the small binding energy and short lifetime of 3ΛH, and the chargesymmetry breaking in the ΛN interaction. We aim to perform the experiment in 2025.
Missing-mass spectroscopy with the 3H(e, e′K+) reaction was carried out at Jefferson Lab’s (JLab) Hall A in Oct–Nov, 2018. The differential cross section for the 3H(γ∗, K+)Λnn was deduced at ω = Ee − Ee′ = 2.102 GeV and at the forward K+-scattering angle (0° ≤ θγ∗K ≤ 5°) in the laboratory frame. Given typical predicted energies and decay widths, which are (BΛ, Γ) = (−0.25, 0.8) and (−0.55, 4.7) MeV, the cross sections were found to be 11.2 ± 4.8(stat.)+4.1−2.1(sys.) and 18.1 ± 6.8(stat.)+4.2−2.9(sys.) nb/sr, respectively. The obtained result would impose a constraint for interaction models particularly between Λ and neutron by comparing to theoretical calculations.
We performed an experiment using tritium and hydrogen cryogenic gas targets at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in 2018 (E12-17-003)[1, 2]. In this article, we discuss the Λ/Σ0 hyperon electroproduction from hydrogen target. Elementary Λ/Σ0 hyperon production processes are important not only for an absolute mass scale calibration in our experiment, but also for the study of the electroproduction mechanisms themselves. In this article, we reported the results of the differential cross section for the p(e, e’K+)Λ/Σ0 reaction at Q2 ∼ 0.5 (GeV/c)2.
