Measurement of the Xi-p Scattering Cross Sections at Low Energy

arXiv:nucl-ex/0502010 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2005.12.057

Abstract

In this paper we report cross-section measurements for $Ξ^-p$ elastic and inelastic scatterings at low energy using a scintillating fiber active target. Upper limit on the total cross-section for the elastic scattering was found to be 24 mb at 90% confidence level, and the total cross section for the $Ξ^-p\toΛΛ$ reaction was found to be $4.3^{+6.3}_{-2.7}$ mb. We compare the results with currently competing theoretical estimates.
