Description

Scattering experiments of pions and kaons impinging on nuclear targets have a rich history, providing important insight into the strong interaction. Similar experiments with hyperon beams are much harder to realize given higher masses and shorter lifetimes. Two-body J/\psi decays represent a clean source of hyperons so that the high statistics sample of 10 billion J/\psi events collected with the BESIII detector enables studies of hyperon-nucleon interactions using the BESIII beampipe as an effective nuclear target. Here, we will present the novel method of studying hyperon-nucleon interactions at an e^+e^- collider and discuss first results for the reaction \Xi^0 + {}^9\textrm{Be}\to \Xi^- + p + {}^8\textrm{Be}.
