Extracting the femtometer structure of strange baryons using the vacuum polarization effect
The BESIII collaboration recently reported a method useful for hyperon-antihyperon pairs of different types which exploits the cross section enhancement caused by the vacuum polarization at the J/ψ resonance, enabling a precise determination of the hyperon structure function. The result has been published in Nature Communications on October 11th, 2024 [Nat. Commun. 15, 8812 (2024)].
