HIGH-RESOLUTION HYPERNUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPY ELECTRON SCATTERING AT JLab, HALL A
The characteristics of the Jefferson LAB electron beam, together with those of the experimental equipments, offer a unique opportunity to study hypernuclear spectroscopy via electromagnetic induced reactions. Experiment 94-107 started a systematic study on 1p-shell targets, 12 C , 9 Be and 16 O . We present the results from 12 C , 16 O and very preliminary results from 9 Be . For 12 C for the first time measurable strength in the core-excited part of the spectrum between the ground state and the pΛ state was shown in [Formula: see text] for the first time. A high-quality 16Λ N spectrum was produced for the first time with sub-MeV Energy resolution. A very precise B Λ value for 16Λ N , calibrated against the elementary ( e , e ′ K +) reaction on hydrogen, has also been obtained. Final data on 9 Be will be available soon. The missing energy resolution is the best ever obtained in hypernuclear production experiments.
