Hypernuclear Spectroscopy in JLab's Hall A

Description

Results are presented from a new experiment (E94-107) in Hall A of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) producing Boron-12-lambda using electroproduction, (e,e(prime)K+). In the hypernuclear missing-mass spectrum the experiment achieves very good energy resolution (640 keV FWHM) by exploiting the characteristics of the High Resolution spectrometer pair and the exceptional beam quality available at JLab. The spectrometers were used with the addition an INFN provided pair of septum magnets to reach the desired small angles. Also, the Hall A standard complement of equipment was further augmented by the addition of a Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) to achieve the best possible kaon identification
