The (e,e′K+) hypernuclear spectroscopy in JLab Hall C
Prof. Satoshi Nakamura (Institut für Kernphysik (Gast))


Hypernucleus has hyperon in addition to nucleons as its constituent.
We can explore deep inside of a nucleus with the hyperon since it is free from Pauli exclusion from nucleons. Study of hypernuclear structure enables us to study hyperon-nucleon interactions.

So far, hypernuclei had been studied with meson beams such as pi, K.
In 2000, spectroscopic study of hypernuclei with a new reaction, (e,e′K+) reaction, began at Jefferson Lab, US.
I will explain advantages, experimental difficulties of this method and how we overcame these difficulties.
Recent analysis result for He7L, B12L and Al28L will be discussed.
