Hypernuclear physics with electron beams: Exclusive and inclusive excitations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We discuss the importance of the A(e,e'K/sup +/)/sub ..lambda../A( in hypernuclear physics, comparing it with the A(K/sup -/,..pi../sup -/)/sub ..lambda../A( reaction and suggesting problems that can preferentially be studied with the (e,e'K/sup +/) probe. Cross sections are given for exclusive and inclusive processes for a large range of nuclear masses. The elementary process p(e,e'K/sup +/)..lambda.. is not well known, and the coupling constants and electromagnetic moments are discussed.
