Abstract
The total cross-section for the dd $ \rightarrow$ 4HeK + K - reaction has been measured at a beam momentum of 3.7GeV/c, corresponding to an excess energy of 39MeV, which is the maximum possible at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Julich. A deuterium cluster-jet target and the ANKE forward magnetic spectrometer, placed inside the storage ring, have been employed in this investigation. We find a total cross-section of $ \sigma_{{{\rm tot}}}^{}$ < 14 pb, which brings into question the viability of investigating the dd $ \rightarrow$ 4Hea 0(980) reaction as a means of studying isospin violation.
