Abstract: (Elsevier B.V.)
We measured a set of π±Σ, π0Σ0, and πΣ0 invariant mass spectra below and above the K¯N mass threshold in K-induced reactions on deuteron. The measured πΣ mass spectral shape is well reproduced via the two-step mechanism, i.e., a neutron knocked out at a forward angle from a deuteron by an incident K, with the K¯ recoiled backward reacting with the residual nucleon to produce π and Σ. We deduced the S-wave K¯NπΣ and K¯NK¯N scattering amplitudes in the isospin 0 channel in the framework of a K¯N and πΣ coupled channel. We find that a resonance pole corresponding to Λ(1405) is located at 1417.77.4+6.0 (fitting errors)1.0+1.1 (systematic errors) + [26.17.9+6.0 (fitting errors)2.0+1.7 (systematic errors)] i MeV/c2, closer to the K¯N mass threshold than the value determined by the Particle Data Group.
