Prologue
Missing in the Standard Model of particle physics:
A complete understanding of the strong interaction.
• Short distances / high energies: pQCD rigorously and
successfully tested.
• Charm scale and below:
pQCD fails, no analytical
solution possible.

Prologue
Many fundamental puzzles manifest in the nucleon:
• Discovered a century ago.
• Still, we don’t understand
– Its abundance
– Its mass
– Its spin
– It radius
– Its inner structure

Prologue
Abundance: matter-antimatter / nucleon-antinucleon asymmetry of the Universe.
Equal amounts in Big Bang (?)
→ Where did the anti-nucleons go?
Baryogenesis*: possible if
- Baryon number violation
- CP violation
- Processes outside thermal
equilibrium.

Prologue
Mass:
• Summing quark masses: 1% of total proton mass.
→ 99% of the visible mass in the Universe is
dynamically generated by the strong interaction!
But how?

Prologue
Spin:
• Valence quark spin only cause ~1/2 of the total nucleon
spin*.
• Proposed solution to spin crisis:
– Sea quarks?
– Gluons?
– Relative angular momentum?

Prologue
Radius: measured in
– Electron-nucleon scattering
– Electronic hydrogen spectrum
– Muonic hydrogen spectrum.
Results disagree.*
Inner structure:

Approaches
When you don’t understand a system, you can*
– Scatter on it
– Excite it
– Replace one of the
building blocks

What happens if
we replace one of the
light quarks in the proton
with one - or many -
heavier quark(s)?

Why hyperons?
• Systems with strangeness
– Scale: ms ≈ 100 MeV ~ ΛQCD≈ 200 MeV.
– Relevant degrees of freedom?
– Probes QCD in the
confinement domain.
• Systems with charm
– Scale: mc ≈ 1300 MeV.
– Quarks and gluons more relevant.
– Probes QCD just below
pQCD.

Why hyperons?
Traceable spin:
Polarization experimentally accessible
by the weak, parity violating decay:
Example: Angular distribution of Λ→pπ- decay
I(cosθp) = N(1+αPΛ cosθp)
PΛ : polarisation
α = 0.64 asymmetry parameter

• No data on Ω or Λ𝑐.

Online reconstruction and filtering
PANDA will use an
entirely software-based
data selection!
![Page 20: Time-based reconstruction of hyperons at the PANDA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012300/61e1166585f1bd7be0660d03/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Online reconstruction and filtering
Algorithms will depend on
event topology
![Page 21: Time-based reconstruction of hyperons at the PANDA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012300/61e1166585f1bd7be0660d03/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Challenges in hyperon reconstruction
Weak decays → displaced vertices
– Tracks do not come from the interaction point.
– Hyperons may miss fast detectors.
– Complicated event topology.
![Page 22: Time-based reconstruction of hyperons at the PANDA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012300/61e1166585f1bd7be0660d03/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Challenges in hyperon reconstruction
Need a data selection scheme compatible with the
complex hyperon topology
– Independent of track origin.
– Dynamic event and track reconstruction.
– Paradigm changing event
filter concept.
– Which detectors are the key players?

PANDA @ HADES
New Memorandum of Understanding between PANDA and HADES!
• Possible to test tools and methods on real data!
• Possible to do hyperon physics in Europe before
PANDA@FAIR!23
![Page 24: Time-based reconstruction of hyperons at the PANDA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012300/61e1166585f1bd7be0660d03/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Interesting questions for
HADES/PANDA
• Electromagnetic transitions of octet- and decuplet
hyperons
– 𝑌𝐴 → 𝑌𝐵𝛾 (mainly 𝛾Λ quasi-final states)
– 𝑌𝐴 → 𝑌𝐵𝑒+𝑒− (mainly 𝑒+𝑒−Λ quasi-final states)
– 𝑌𝐴 → 𝑌𝐵𝛾π

Summary
• Many fundamental questions manifest themselves in our
(lack of) understanding of the nucleon.
• Strategy: replace one of the building blocks →
hyperons!
• Hyperons of different flavour probe different scales of the
strong interaction.
• Self-analyzing decay → help pinpointing the role of spin.

Outlook
• Collecting and reconstructing hyperon events is a
challenging task!
• Need detailed knowledge of hyperon signals in the
PANDA detector.
• Need a track reconstruction method that
– Can be used online.
– Is independent of the interaction point.
• PANDA@HADES opens up new possibilities:
– Test tools and methods developed for PANDA
– Do interesting hyperon physics before [email protected]
