A propane bubble chamber has been exposed to a TT~ beam of 1.3-Bev kinetic energy. The reactionscan be experimentally distinguished from carbon events. Results based on the first 55 such events are presented. The center-of-mass production distribution of the S" is peaked forward, that of the A 0 backward. No large anisotropics in the angular correlation of production and decay were found, so that we have no evidence for spin in excess of J for any of the three particles: 2~, A 0 , or 0°. A study of the relative abundance of single and double V production indicates that both A 0 and 0° have either long-lived "states" or neutral decay modes. A statistical analysis gives aAO=0.3_o.i2 +0 -15 , aeo^O.S-o.^4 019 , for the normal charged decay probabilities (A 0 ->Tr~-j-p; 6°->7r + -{-7r~) of the A 0 and 0°, respectively. One event was analyzed to obtain the energy released in 2~~ decay. S~->ir~-{-n-\-Q; Q-118±2.6 Mev. The S" lifetime on the basis of 16 decays is (1.4_o. 5 +1 -6 )X 10-i° sec.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
