We performed a novel Σ+p scattering experiment at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Approximately 2400 Σ+p scattering events were identified by a kinematical consistency check for the recoil proton. The differential cross sections of the Σ+p elastic scattering were derived with better precision than in previous experiments. By exploiting high-quality differential cross section data and the simple representation of Σ+p interaction in the SU(3) flavor symmetry, we performed a phase-shift analysis on hyperon-nucleon scattering data for the first time. The absolute value of the phase shift of the 3S1 channel, where a large repulsive force was predicted due to the Pauli exclusive effect between quarks, was evaluated. These results indicate that the interaction of the 3S1 channel in the Σ+p channel is moderately repulsive, as the Nijmegen extended-soft-core models predicted.
