Abstract

We present the first observation of K- and φ absorption within nuclear matter by means of π - induced reactions on C and W targets at an incident beam momentum of 1.7 GeV/c studied with HADES at SIS18/GSI. The double ratio (K-/K+)W/(K-/K+)C is found to be 0.319±0.009(stat)-0.012+0.014(syst) indicating a larger absorption of K- in heavier targets as compared to lighter ones. The measured φ/K- ratios in π-+C and π-+W reactions within the HADES acceptance are found to be equal to 0.55±0.04(stat)-0.07+0.06(syst) and to 0.63±0.06(stat)-0.11+0.11(syst), respectively. The similar ratios measured in the two different reactions demonstrate for the first time experimentally that the dynamics of the φ meson in nuclear medium is strongly coupled to the K- dynamics. The large difference in the φ production off C and W nuclei is discussed in terms of a strong φN in-medium coupling. These results are relevant for the description of heavy-ion collisions and the structure of neutron stars.
