  7. Physics Goal of Decay Pion Spectroscopy • Precise measurement of ground state B (20keV) for a series of light hypernuclei with high resolution (130keV), spin-parity determination of g.s., charge symmetry breaking (CSB) from mirror pairs • Neutron rich light hypernuclei (- coupling) and neutron drip line limit (6H and 8H) • Formation of quasi free continuum and fragmentation mechanism Provide precise input for theoretical description of -N interaction. Since B and excitation are the only sources of experimental information, study wide range of hypernuclei is needed.

  8. Preliminary Results from MAMI-C KAOS – SPEC-C 2011 Run Partial 4H 2A beam KID affected by huge rate of e+ at 0 We are convinced at least on 4H observation 2012 Run Partial 20A beam • Added 10cm Pb curtain • Luminosity increased • KID was still a problem • K+ singles increased just a little

  9. Advantages of Jlab Experiment • Higher production rate (~9 times) • Excellent PID for both K+ and - • Less background (accidental or real) • Full coverage of the interested - momentum range • Can take data together with the (e, e’K+) experiment

  10. Summary • High intensity CW beam at JLAB and the characters of electro-production make possible for high precision hypernuclear programs, among which the decay pion program is unique. • The decay pion spectroscopy program is able to provide precise and fundamental information needed to understand the YN and Y-Nucleus interactions. • We are convinced from the MAMI-C test runs that the technique works.
