  6. METHOD TO IMPROVE THE OPTIC DATA BASE:An optical data base means a matrix T that transforms the focal plane coordinates inscattering coordinates: To change a data base means to find a new matrix T’ that gives a new set of values: : Because: this is perfectly equivalent to find a matrix . you work only with scattering coordinates. From F you simply find T’ by:

  7. METHOD TO IMPROVE THE OPTIC DATA BASE (II) Expressig: You have: just consider as an example the change in the momentum DP because of the change in the data base: with a polynomial expression Because of the change DPDP’ also the missing energy will change: In this way to optimize a data base you have just to find empirically a polynomial in the scattering coordinates that added to the missing energy improves its resolution : and finally to calculate

  10. Results on 12C target – Hypernuclear Spectrum of 12BL Narrowest peak is doublet at 10.93 MeV  experiment resolution < 700 keV G.S. width is 1150 keV; an unresolved doublet? What would separation be between two 670 keV peaks?  ~650 keV (theory predicts only 140) 670 keV FWHM

  11. Preliminary Results on the WATERFALL target Analysis of the reaction 16O(e,e’K)16NL and 1H(e,e’K)L (elementary reaction) Waterfall target allows energy-scale calibration of 16O(e,e’K)16NL by 1H(e,e’K)L (peak at binding energy = zero)

  20. proposal for PAC 31 (F. Garibaldi January 0507 - Hall A Collaboration meeting - Jlab) • hypernuclear physics • the electromagnetic approach • recent results • motivation • the elementary reaction • angular distribution • the apparatus • kinematics and counting rates • beam time request • summary and conclusion

  21. the proposed experiment will answer the following questions • does the cross section for the photo-production continue in rising as the kaon anglegoes to zero or is there a plateau or even a dip like for the high-energy data?(relationship with CLASS data) • is the concept of the hadronic form factors as it is used in the isobaric models still correct? What is the angular dependence of the hypernuclear form factor at forward angle? . is the hypernuclear angular dependence the same as the hypernuclear process? • which of the models describes better the reality at forward angles and can be therefore used in analysis of hypernuclear data without introducing an additional uncertainty? . the success of the previous experiment (very “clean” (background free) data) guarantees for the experimental equipment (optics, PID), analysis, rates (beam time) evaluation to be under control. (extrapolations “easy”). “unique possibility” for this experiment in Hall A with waterfall target, septa and PID these questions are very important for our understanding of dynamics of the process and vital for the hypernuclear calculations and interpretation of the data, they urge to be answered also for “building” the hypernuclear program at Jlab in the future

  22. Conclusion • E94-107 experiment successfully performed: • Three hypernuclei studied: + the reaction: High Resolution 1p shell Hypernuclear Spectroscopy at JLAB, Hall A 12 (published), 16N (submitted ) and 9Li H(e,e’K+)0 Experiment E07-012 will study the angular dependence of p(e,e’K)L and 16O(e,e’K)16NL at Low Q2 (approved January, 2007)
