  6. Decay Pion Spectroscopy for StudyLight -Hypernuclei • High precision on ground state light hypernuclei • Resolution: ~130 keV FWHM; mass precision : < ±30 keV • Precise  binding energy • Charge symmetry breaking • Linkage between structures of hypernuclei and nuclei • Determining ground state spin/parity • Search for Isomeric low lying states (Isomerism) • Study the drip line limit on -hypernuclei, such as heavy hyper-hydrogen: 6H, 7H, and 8H • Medium modification of baryon property – B(M1) from lifetime of ground and low lying isomeric states of hypernuclei These are rich and the most fundamental but so far unobtainable information needed for building the correct models for YN and Y-Nucleus interactions

  16. Summary • High quality and high intensity CW CEBAF beam at JLAB made possible for high precision hypernuclearprograms, among which the decay pion program is unique. • The decay pion spectroscopy program will provide precise and fundamental information needed to significantly improve our understanding on YN and Y-Nucleus interactions. • A test run in the 6GeV period is important for the development of this program for the 12GeV period. • Unlike the mass spectroscopy program, this program does not request precision and stability on beam energy.
