Experiments with the CERN SPS hyperon beam

High energy charged hyperons produced in proton collisions at large accelerators have a lifetime long enough to be channelled into beams of particles of appreciable intensity. This has opened up a new domain of research in experimental high energy physics. This article reviews recent works at the CE...

Description
Summary:High energy charged hyperons produced in proton collisions at large accelerators have a lifetime long enough to be channelled into beams of particles of appreciable intensity. This has opened up a new domain of research in experimental high energy physics. This article reviews recent works at the CERN SPS using a dedicated charged hyperon beam facility.
