Summary
Ten events of elastic and four events of inelastic scattering of K--particles by free protons in nuclear emulsions have been observed in the K-particle energy range from 5 to 70 MeV. These data when added to those from other laboratories are consistent with an s-wave interaction between the negative K particle and proton at low K-particle energies. A preliminary investigation of the evidence for isotopic spin states 0 and 1 is also made.
Riassunto
Fra le particelle K d’energia da 5 a 70 MeV si sono osservati 10 eventi di scattering clastico e 4 di scattering anelastico di K sui protoni liberi di emulsioni nucleari. Questi dati. aggiunti a quelli di altri laboratori sono compatibili con un’interazione di ondes tra i K negativi e i protoni a basse energie dei K. Si esegue anche un esame prelirninare dei dati per gli stati di spin isotopico 0 e 1.
