A New Hypernuclear Experiment with the High Resolution Kaon Spectrometer(HKS) at JLAB Hall C

As a natural extension of the first successful hypernuclear spectroscopy through the (e,e'K+) reaction (JLAB-E89-009), a new experiment with a newly developed High Resolution Kaon Spectrometer (HKS) and new configuration of the electron spectrometer was proposed. The high performance of the HKS and the new electron spectrometer configuration (tilt method) enables us to improve the energy resolution by a factor of 2, the hypernuclear yield by a factor of 50 and the signal to noise ratio by a factor of 10.
