This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the pioneering experiment, E89-009 studying hypernuclear spectroscopy using the $(e, e{̂\prime}K+̂)$ reaction was completed, two additional experiments, E01-011 and E05-115, were performed at Jefferson Lab. These later experiments used a modified experimental design, the "Tilt Method", to dramatically suppress the large electromagnetic background, and allowed for a substantial increase in luminosity. Additionally, a new kaon spectrometer, HKS (E01-011), a new electron spectrometer, HES, and a new splitting magnet were added to produce precision, high-resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy. These two experiments, E01-011 and E05-115, resulted in two new data sets, producing sub-MeV energy resolution in the spectra of ${}{̂7}_{\Lambda}\text{He}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ and ${}{̂28}_{\Lambda} \text{Al}$ and ${}{̂7}_{\Lambda}\text{He}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{Be}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ and ${}{̂52}_{\Lambda}\text{V}$. All three experiments obtained a ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$, spectrum, which is the most characteristic $p$-shell hypernucleus and is commonly used for calibration. Independent analyses of these different experiments demonstrate excellent consistency and provide the clearest level structure to date of this hypernucleus as produced by the $(e, e{̂\prime}K+̂)$ reaction. This paper presents details of these experiments, and the extraction and analysis of the observed ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ spectrum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypernuclear spectroscopy by the $(e, e^{\prime}K^+)$ reaction is one of the powerful tools to investigate precise structures of hypernuclei and to study $\Lambda$N interaction. The second generation hypernuclear experiment at JLab Hall C(E01-011) was successfully performed in 2005, introducing the two novel experimental configurations, High resolution and large acceptance Kaon Spectrometer(HKS) and Tilt method. Thanks to these new configurations, various hypernuclei such as $^{28}_{\Lambda}$Al, $^{12}_{\Lambda}$B and $^{7}_{\Lambda}$He were measured with precise energy resolution of 500 keV (FWHM). Obtained absolute binding energies and cross sections were compared with other experimental data and recent theoretical calculations based on shell model and cluster model. The results of this study provided new information on $\Lambda$N interaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of [Lambda] hypernuclear structure is very interesting in point of the understanding of the interaction between [Lambda] and nucleon ([Lambda]-N interaction) and its strange structure itself due to the containment of a [Lambda] hyperon which has a strangeness as a new degree of freedom. In the several way to study the Lamda hypernuclei, the (e, e'K+) reaction spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the precise investigation of [Lambda] hypernuclear structure. The purpose of the preset thesis is the establishment of the experimental design with the efficient data analysis method for the (e, e'K+) hypernuclear spectroscopic experiment in the wide mass region (from A=7 to A=52). It is very challenging to perform the (e, e'K+) spectroscopic experiment with such a heavy target, because of the huge electron background due to the bremsstrahlung process. In the experiment, it is required to obtain the necessary hypernuclear yield, suppressing the background event ratio. We achieved these requirements by newly constructing the high resolution electron spectrometer (HES) and splitter magnet (SPL) dedicated to the (e, e'K+) spectroscopic experiment. The HES consists of two quadrupole magnets and a dipole magnets (Q-Q-D) with a momentum resolution of dp/p = 3x10-4 at p = 0.84 GeV/c. It was used being vertically tilted by 6.5 degree so as to optimize signal to noise ratio and hypernuclear yield. The SPL is a dipole magnet. The experimental target was placed at the entrance of this magnet. The role of the SPL is to separate four kind of particles; scattered kaons, photons created by the bremsstrahlung, the post beam and scattered electrons. In addition, since the SPL is a part of the kaon and electron spectrometers. We designed the magnet shape carefully considering these points. The experiment was performed with 2.344 GeV/c electron beam from CEBAF at Jefferson Lab. The experimental setup consists of the HES, SPL and HKS (high momentum resolution kaon spectrometer). The HKS is also a Q-Q-D type spectrometer with the momentum resolution of dp/p = 2x10-4 at p = 1.2 GeV/c. In the data analysis, the particle momentum calibration was the most important procedure. At the initial point, the particle momentum was obtained from the calculated magnetic field map of the spectrometer whose accuracy is an order of 10-2. The initial momentum was calibrated by two step, the the magnetic field map improvement and the calibration with known masses of [Lambda]/[sigma]0 which were observed by the CH2 target data. As a result of the calibration, the momentum resolutions of HKS and HES were estimated as 4x10-4 and 6x10-4, respectively. Though these values are the double of the designed value, it was achieved to obtain the [Lambda]/[sigma]0 peaks with the same order of the designed energy from the original calculated magnetic field. The cross section was calculated with the several estimated factors. The averaged p([gamma]*, K+)[Lambda] cross section in the HKS acceptance, (0.90

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first experiment in Lambda-hypernuclear spectroscopy using the high precision electron beam at Jefferson laboratory (Jlab) has been carried out. The hypernuclear spectrometer system (HNSS) was used to measure spectra from the 12C(e, e(prime)K)12{sub {Lambda}}B reaction with sub-1 MeV resolution, the best energy resolution obtained thus far in hypernuclear spectroscopy with magnetic spectrometers. This paper describes the HNSS and the preliminary results for the 12{sub {Lambda}}B system. The experimental spectrum is consistent with the expected strong spin-flip excitations of unnatural parity states. A program of hypernuclear physics experiments is planned for the future with much higher yield and even better energy resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristics of the Jefferson Lab electron beam, together with those of the experimental equipment, offer a unique opportunity to study hypernuclear spectroscopy via electromagnetic induced reactions. Experiment 94-107 started a systematic study on 1p-shell targets, $Ĉ$, ${̂9}Be$ and $Ô$. For $Ĉ$ for the first time measurable strength in the core-excited part of the spectrum between the ground state and the p state was shown in $_̂{\Lambda}B$ spectrum. A high-quality $_̂{\Lambda}N$ spectrum was produced for the first time with sub-MeV energy resolution. A very precise $\Lambda$ binding energy value for $_̂{\Lambda}N$, calibrated against the elementary $(e, e'K+̂)$ reaction on hydrogen, has also been obtained. ${̂9}_{\Lambda}Li$ spectrum shows some disagreement in strength for the second and third doublet with respect to the theory.
