Observation of Coulomb-assisted nuclear bound state of $��^-$-$^{14}$N system
In an emulsion-counter hybrid experiment performed at J-PARC, a $��^-$ absorption event was observed which decayed into twin single-$��$ hypernuclei. Kinematic calculations enabled a unique identification of the reaction process as $��^{-} + ^{14}$N$\ \rightarrow\ ^{10}_��$Be + $^5_��$He. For the binding energy of the $��^{-}$ hyperon in the $��^-$-$^{14}$N system a value of $1.27 \pm 0.21$ MeV was deduced. The energy level of $��^-$ is likely a nuclear $1p$ state which indicates a weak $��N$-$����$ coupling.
Measurement of neutrino oscillation by the K2K experiment
We present measurements of nu_mu disappearance in K2K, the KEK to Kamioka long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. One hundred and twelve beam-originated neutrino events are observed in the fiducial volume of Super-Kamiokande with an expectation of 158.1^{+9.2}_{-8.6} events without oscillation. A distortion of the energy spectrum is also seen in 58 single-ring muon-like events with reconstructed energies. The probability that the observations are explained by the expectation for no neutrino oscillation is 0.0015% (4.3sigma). In a two flavor oscillation scenario, the allowed Delta m^2 region at sin^2(2theta) is between 1.9 and 3.5 x 10^{-3} eV^2 at the 90% C.L. with a best-fit value o…

Observation of Coulomb-assisted nuclear bound state of $\Xi^-$-$^{14}$N system
In an emulsion-counter hybrid experiment performed at J-PARC, a $\Xi^-$ absorption event was observed which decayed into twin single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Kinematic calculations enabled a unique identification of the reaction process as $\Xi^{-} + ^{14}$N$\ \rightarrow\ ^{10}_\Lambda$Be + $^5_\Lambda$He. For the binding energy of the $\Xi^{-}$ hyperon in the $\Xi^-$-$^{14}$N system a value of $1.27 \pm 0.21$ MeV was deduced. The energy level of $\Xi^-$ is likely a nuclear $1p$ state which indicates a weak ${\Xi}N$-$\Lambda\Lambda$ coupling.
