2. Elementary Process Markowitz, Bydzovsky, Carman
Carman CLAS: Wonderful data for cross sections and all combinations of beam, target, and recoil polarization states. - Precision data – broad kinematic coverage - Program includes “complete” experiments on both proton and neutron targets CLAS data dominates the world’s strangeness physics database for both photoand electroproduction cross sections and spin observables.lso essential data for photoproduction models CLAS data are wonderful, but very forward angles are not covered.
The largest merit of (e,eK+) is the accuracy of absolute energy (<100 keV), but with demerits of non-selectivity of states and difficulty in state assignment. The cross section is the almost only observable that can be used for state assignment. For this purpose, reliable theoretical calc’s of the cross sections are essential, and therefore the elementary cross section must be precisely known. Target thickness should be carefully monitored: -> The waterfall target looks good.
(p+,K+) cross sections well reproduced by DWIA calc. Hashimoto and Tamura, PPNP (2005) Calc. by Motoba and Itonaga Why not in (e,e’K+) with much less distortion?
Bydzovsky Also essential data for photoproduction models
3. LN interaction from light hypernuclei --Charge Symmetry Breaking
LN interaction has been rather well known through interplay between Theories of BB models (Haidenbauer, Rijken) and Theories of hypernuclear structure (Millener, Hiyama, Motoba, Wirth) with Good experimental data from Hall A (Urciuoli), Hall C (Nakamura) KEK/BNL/J-PARC (Tamura), FINUDA (Bressani) except for CSB problem -> A big surprise? (Hiyama, Gibson)
Millener Spin-dependent force strengths well determined from p-shell Level structures -> feedback to BB int. models
Wirth Ab-initio calculation of p-shell hypernuclei w/S mixing is now on-going! –Stringent test of YN interactions

Small overlapleads to shallow binding 24Mg⊗L(s-orbit) Observing the 3 different p-states is strong evidence of triaxial deformation Our (first) task: To predict the level structure of the p-states in 25LMg

L Impurity - changes the size/deformation of the core nucleus ? => Only for light-clusterized nuclei (7LLi 19% shrinkage from 6Li: Tanida et al.) - is a clear probe of nuclear shape/nuclear density. “New means to measure nuclear structure” • Distinguish Normal Deformed / Super Deformed states • 10LBe <= 10B(e,e’K+) : level inversion • Probably (spin)-parity cannot be assigned. • Hopefully distinguished from cross sections. But how small ? • Evidence for triaxial deformation (there are implications but no clear evidence.) • 27LMg <= 27Al (e,e’K+) • Three band heads should have large cross sections.
5. Single Particle Energies of L hypernuclei ( and neutron star matter)
Millener Now, we can make this plot with ~100 keV accuracy of absolute energy.
Galibaldi How?? How??
“The heavy neutron star puzzle” M • Hyperons must appear at r = 2~3 r0 • EOS’s with hyperons (or kaons) too soft -> can support M < 1.5Msun PSR J1614-2230 (2010) 1.97±0.04 Msun PSR J0348-0432 (2013) 2.01±0.04 Msun Serious problem in the nuclear physics at present • Unknown repulsion at high r • Strong repulsion in three-body force including hyperons are necessary. (NNN, YNN, YYN, YYY) • Phase transition to quark matter ? • (quark star or hybrid star) • But we have no data on BBB force • at high r nuclear matter, • except for indirect info. in HI collisions. NS mass Hyperons Quark matter NS radius(km) Quark Meson Coupling model with hyperons J.Stone et al., Nucl. Phys. A792(2007)341
Vidana TBF repulsion from meson exchange models is not enough
L’s single particle energy in hypernuclei will solve this serious problem? Rijken Nijmegen ESC08 reproduces (almost) all the hypernuclear data as well as all the NN/YN scattering data. • Y. Yamamoto/Rijken • BHF calc. from ESC08 • => reproduces all the L s.p.e. data (~1 MeV accuracy)very well • with no adjustable parameters => but EOS is too soft. • ESC08 + “3body/4body repulsion in YNN,YYN,YYY..” with the same size as the NNN repulsion which reproduces HI collision data (“universal 3B repulsion”). => can support 2Msun NS. • => slight change of BL by +- 0.5 MeV between A~30 and 208. Even with r=r0 nuclei, we can see the effect of a (short-range) 3-body YNN/YYN/YYY repulsion in BL , if the repulsion is large enough to support 2Msun NS.

We need accurate (< 0.1 MeV) BLdata for at least three hypernuclei, a heavy (A~200), a medium-heavy (A~100-50), and medium (A~30) 208L Pb is quite important, as far as experimentally feasible. Theoretical efforts are also important: Include relativistic effects Physical picture of 3B/4B forces -- 3B force from lattice?? L hyperon in the only probe that can sense static high-density (but, up to ~r0) nuclear matter. ( HI collisions are not static and difficult to treat.)
Is there a correlation between the slope in BL(A) plot and the NS maximum mass Independently of theoretical treatment ?? NS maximum mass Slope: [BL(A’)-BL(A)]/(A’-A)
Motoba From such calculation, we can separate excited hole states and extract the g.s. energy reliably.

Uniqueness of JLab (1) Absolute mass in ~100 keV accuracy with HKS (a wide acceptance both for L and S0) Nakamura (HRS needed a slight correction in BL ) Urciolli c.f. (p+,K+) and (K-,p-) reactions (n->L) have no means for absolute calibration. Affected by emulsion data. (p+,K+) error in BL: typ. ~0.5 MeV(thick target)+ emulsion error 0.5 MeV should be shifted in all the (p+,K+) BL values. Millener Confirmed from the accurate (e,e’K+) data -> Definite data for CSB from light hypernuclei -> L’s s.p.e. in medium/heavy hypernuclei
