Cusp Effect Angular Distribution

  • The cusp angular distribution is
  • btained by subtraction the

background from the cusp effect

  • The cusp effect study is limited to

the range of 2.11 to 2.18 MeV/c2 in pΛ subsystem

  • The distributions are fitted with

Legendre polynomial functions

symmetric and has a dominant S- wave contribution

Particles Angular Distribution in Helicity Frame

  • In 1 + 2 → a + b + c reaction the Helicity

angle is the angle between particle (a) and b or c in the {bc} rest frame

  • Physical effects in the Dalitz plot

can be seen in Helicity angle distributions

  • The N*(1650) and N*(1720) resonances

introduces an asymmetry with enhancement at cosθRpΛ

Kp = -1

  • The pΛ-FSI enhances the distributions

towards cosθRKΛ

pK = -1 and cosθRpK Λp = 1

  • No structure for cusp due to its dominant

S-wave contribution

forward and backward regions

Summary

  • Modular straw tube tracker is a good tool for tracking and particles identification in large scale

experiments like the COSY-TOF and the PANDA

  • PID with TOT and integrated charge information present similar performance for the STT
  • The pΛ invariant mass resolution of 1MeV/c2 obtained due to the STT performance in the COSY-

TOF detector is good enough to study the NΣ cusp and pΛ-FSI effects in the pp → pK+Λ reaction

  • Division of Dalitz plot in the Helicity angle is helpful to study the NΣ cusp effect
  • Cusp angular distribution is same between different region of the Dalitz plot
  • Angular distributions of the particles in the CMS frame is symmetric as expected
  • Analyzing power of proton is more symmetric compared to the kaon and lambda
