Kaon Electroproduction at Large Momentum Transfer

Conference ·
OSTI ID:915218
Exclusive H(e,e'K)Y data were taken in January, March and April of 2001 at the Jefferson Lab Hall A.The electrons and kaons were detected in coincidence in the hall's two High Resolutions Spectrometers (HRS).The kaon arm of the pair had been specially outfitted with two aerogel Cerenkov threshold detectors, designed to separately provide pion and proton particle identification thus allowing kaon identification.The data show the cross section's dependence on the invariant mass, W, and 4-momentum transfer, Q^2, along with results of systematic studies.Ultimately, the data will be used to perform aRosenblush Separation as well, separating the longitudinal from the transverse response functions.Preliminary dataon this L/T ratio are presented.
