Hypernuclear Physics at Jefferson Lab
Conference

OSTI ID:837261
The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) has been successfully carrying out hadronic physics studies since 1996 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Virginia, USA. The characteristics of this electron beam, together with those of the experimental equipment, offer a unique opportunity to study the electro-production of hypernuclei through the reaction A(e,e{prime}K{sup +})B{sub {Lambda}}, where the hypernuclear production is tagged by the detection of the scattered electron in coincidence with the produced kaon. The kaon is a part of the associated strangeness pair production with a {Lambda} hyperon remaining embedded in the nuclear medium to form the hypernucleus. The hypernuclear physics program will cover an important part of the JLab experimental program over the next few years. This short review will focus mainly on a few subjects, and some experimental details of the Hall A experiment, where the authors have primarily responsibilities, will be presented.
