Study of the elementary $$(K^-,n)$$ reactions to search for the $$bar{K}NN$$ bound state via the $$^3$$He$$(K^-,n)$$ reaction at J-PARC

We have searched for the simplest kaonic nuclear state, $$bar{K}NN$$, using the in-flight $$^3$$He$$(K^-,n)$$ reaction at the J-PARC hadron experimental facility. In the semi-inclusive neutron missing-mass spectrum at $$theta_{n}^{rm lab}=0^{circ}$$, an excess of yield was observed just below the $$K^-pp$$ mass-threshold, which cannot be explained by any elementary reactions [PTEP 2015, 061D01]. To understand the missing-mass spectrum of $$^3$$He$$(K^-,n)X$$, we investigated the elementary $$(K^-,n)$$ reactions using hydrogen and deuterium targets. The $$p(K^-,n)X$$ missing-mass spectrum was well described by the charge-exchange reaction. However, in the $$d(K^-,n)X$$ spectrum, we observed an excess of yield just below the $$K^-p$$ mass-threshold, which was similar to that in the $$^3$$He$$(K^-,n)X$$ spectrum.
