Abstract

We have measured an inclusive missing-mass spectrum of the d(π+, K+) reaction at a pion incident momentum of 1.69∈GeV/c at laboratory scattering angles between 2\circ and 16\circ with a missing-mass resolution of 2.7 \pm 0.1MeV/c{2} (FWHM) at the missing mass of 2.27∈GeV/c{2}. In this letter, we first try to understand the spectrum as a simple quasi-free picture based on several known elementary cross sections, considering the neutron/proton Fermi motion in the deuteron. While gross spectrum structures are well understood in this picture, we have observed two distinct deviations; one peculiar enhancement at 2.13∈GeV/c{2} is due to the \Sigma N cusp, and the other notable feature is a shift of a broad bump structure, mainly originating from hyperon resonance productions of \Lambda (1405) and \Sigma (1385){+ /0}, by about 22.4 \pm 0.4 (stat.) {+2.7}-{-1.7} (syst.)∈MeV/c{2} toward the low-mass side, which is calculated in the kinematics of a proton at rest as the target.
