Hyperon-nucleon bound states and electroproduction of strangeness on light nuclei

Description

The A(e, e(prime)K+)Y X reaction has been investigated in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. Data were taken for Q2 ∼ 0.35 and 0.5 GeV2 at a beam energy of 3.245 GeV for 1H,2H,3He,4He, C and Al targets. The missing mass spectra are fitted with Monte Carlo simulations including Λ, Σ0, Σ- hyperon production. Models for quasifree production are compared to the data, excess yields close to threshold are attributed to FSI. Evidence for Λ-hypernuclear bound states is seen for 3,4He targets
