  3. Difference between and nucl-ex/0310018 No structure at around 3140 MeV/c2 on the proton spectrum T=0 higher statistics with better resolution is required to confirm the peak structure.

  4. KEK PS-E549 experiment • Further study of S0 state in the 4He(K-stop, p) reaction - 4He(K-stop, p) spectroscopy (1) Determinationwidthwith high resolution E471 upper limit  E549 finite value (2)Inclusivespectroscopy of S0 Formation rate K- + 4He → S0[T=1] + p | 1/2 -1/2 > |1 -1> + |1/2 1/2> K- + 4He → S+[T=1] + n | 1/2 -1/2 > |1 0> + |1/2 -1/2> Statistics x 20 (3) Search for excited state Formation ratio = 2:1 • Search for other kind of strange tribaryon in the 4He(K-stop, n) - 4He(K-stop, n) spectroscopy (1) Study of isospin dependence (T=0,1 state) (2) Confirmation of S+ (T=0) (statistics ~3 times higher)

  6. TOF analysis for neutral particles • TNC-TT0 • Determine vertex point TOFtarget->vertex • Tkaon_flight

  7. Stopping kaon selection by T0 ADC VDC K - Target region Target cell z Target cell BLC Beam direction T0ADC (a.u.) K - Stop kaon selection region z T0ADC (a.u.)

  8. Z-vertex correction for kaon flight time from T0 to it’s stop σ~380ps σ~295ps

  9. Separation for NC 1/beta NC ADC (MeVee)

  10. S/N Improvement Previous result (E471) Present preliminary result (E549) 3 MeVee Improvement 5 MeVee 10 MeVee S/N ratio is much improved.

  11. NC time calibration and resolution Previous result (E471) The resolution variation on ADC energy range (10 MeVee threshold) Present E549 result (very preliminary) MeVee σ~0.040 Now the resolution is comparable with E471 result. But, TOF analysis is still progressing. So, the resolution will be more improved. 10 MeVee threshold

  12. Check of neutron TOF analysis using Σ decay Monochromatic neutron source from is expected in the stopped K- reaction at 185 MeV/c 3MeVee threshold & 1 charged hit on TC & 1 charged hit on the opposite NC arm 3MeVee threshold & 1 charged hit on the opposite NC arm ~185MeV/c We can say neutron momentum scale is reasonable. ~185MeV/c

  13. Particle identification by TC Previous TC setup (E471) Present TC setup (E549) TC_D layer TC_C layer Upgrade TC_B layer TC_thick layer TC_A layer TC_thin layer TC_thin MeVee/cm dE/dx of TC_A (a.u.) (a.u.) TC_thick MeVee/cm

  14. Semi-inclusive neutron momentum distribution Present result (E549) Previous result (E471) 7 MeVee threshold Very preliminary 10 MeVee threshold Very preliminary

  15. summary • Neutron S/N ratio is much improved. • Now, missing mass resolution is comparable with previous E471 result. • Neutron statistics is increased. • Analysis is in progress.
