Status of KLOE real data analysis by the AMADEUS group
Oton Vázquez Doce, 4 Maggio 2007
Our firsts steps were withMonte Carlo...
•Production of dedicated KLOE Monte Carlontuples
•Estimation of fraction of K- stopped in the Drift Chambers volume of KLOE setup
K- “stopped” Monte Carlo
Nuclear Interactions: K- + N
0.1% stoppedinside the DC's | z | < 140 cm 40 < ρ < 150 cm
ρ vs z (cm)
Since begginning of 2007
•February 2007 accepted to use 2005 data up to a luminosity equivalent to the 2001/2002 year (400 pb-1)
•Production of KLOE real data ntuples with tag mechanisms 2BODY + DE/DX
(50 pb-1 up to now)•Start analysis tunning strategy
Strategy of search
K- + 4He -> n + (K-

•Many channels with Λ can be identified by their decay products:
p+π- or n+π0
•Classical hadronic interactions of K- in 4He producing also Λ (69%)P. A. Katz, et.al., Reactions of stopping K- in Helium, Phys. Rev. D1, 1267-1276, (1970)
Λ p+π- search criteria:
•Vertex made of two opposite charge particles inside the Drift Chamber volume
•For the negative track (π-) require energy deposit in the DC wires < 95 ADC counts
•For the positive track (proton) start looking for an associated cluster to in the extrapolation of the track to the calorimeter region

▫last DC measurement for the track compatible with the particle reaching the calorimeter
▫Proton signature in the ADC values of DC wiresADC counts

Next steps...
•Additional checks on Λ (low momentum, vertex reconstruction, efficiencies...)
•Increase statistics•Study the underlying physics of Λ
(formation mechanism, deeply bound?)•Search for Λ n+π0 (started)•Strategy for neutral particle search
