On Primakoff production of $Σ^{0}$ hyperons

Phys. Rev. D 34, 1626 – Published 1 September 1986

Abstract

A numerical approximation made in the original formulation of the Primakoff effect for Λ→ $Σ^{0}$ in the Coulomb field of a nucleus results in a 14% difference from a more exact calculation. This is larger than the uncertainties of a recent experimental measurement. Corrected formulas are presented and a result from an older experimental measurement is updated.
