A pioneering experiment in Lambda hypernuclear spectroscopy, undertaken at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jlab), was recently reported. The experiment used the high- precision, continuous electron beam at Jlab, and a special arrangement of spectrometer magnets to measure the spectrum from {nat}C and 7Li targets using the (e, e' K+)reaction. The 12B hypernuclear spectrum was previously published. This experiment is now reported in more detail, with improved results for the 12B hypernuclear spectrum. In addition, unpublished results of the 7He hypernuclear spectrum are also shown. This later spectrum indicates the need for a more detailed few-body calculation of the hypernucleus and the reaction process. The success of this experiment demonstrates that the (e, e'K+) reaction can be effectively used as a high resolution tool to study hypernuclear spectra, ant its use should be vigorously pursued.

The study of [Lambda] hypernuclear structure is very interesting in point of the understanding of the interaction between [Lambda] and nucleon ([Lambda]-N interaction) and its strange structure itself due to the containment of a [Lambda] hyperon which has a strangeness as a new degree of freedom. In the several way to study the Lamda hypernuclei, the (e, e'K+) reaction spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the precise investigation of [Lambda] hypernuclear structure. The purpose of the preset thesis is the establishment of the experimental design with the efficient data analysis method for the (e, e'K+) hypernuclear spectroscopic experiment in the wide mass region (from A=7 to A=52). It is very challenging to perform the (e, e'K+) spectroscopic experiment with such a heavy target, because of the huge electron background due to the bremsstrahlung process. In the experiment, it is required to obtain the necessary hypernuclear yield, suppressing the background event ratio. We achieved these requirements by newly constructing the high resolution electron spectrometer (HES) and splitter magnet (SPL) dedicated to the (e, e'K+) spectroscopic experiment. The HES consists of two quadrupole magnets and a dipole magnets (Q-Q-D) with a momentum resolution of dp/p = 3x10-4 at p = 0.84 GeV/c. It was used being vertically tilted by 6.5 degree so as to optimize signal to noise ratio and hypernuclear yield. The SPL is a dipole magnet. The experimental target was placed at the entrance of this magnet. The role of the SPL is to separate four kind of particles; scattered kaons, photons created by the bremsstrahlung, the post beam and scattered electrons. In addition, since the SPL is a part of the kaon and electron spectrometers. We designed the magnet shape carefully considering these points. The experiment was performed with 2.344 GeV/c electron beam from CEBAF at Jefferson Lab. The experimental setup consists of the HES, SPL and HKS (high momentum resolution kaon spectrometer). The HKS is also a Q-Q-D type spectrometer with the momentum resolution of dp/p = 2x10-4 at p = 1.2 GeV/c. In the data analysis, the particle momentum calibration was the most important procedure. At the initial point, the particle momentum was obtained from the calculated magnetic field map of the spectrometer whose accuracy is an order of 10-2. The initial momentum was calibrated by two step, the the magnetic field map improvement and the calibration with known masses of [Lambda]/[sigma]0 which were observed by the CH2 target data. As a result of the calibration, the momentum resolutions of HKS and HES were estimated as 4x10-4 and 6x10-4, respectively. Though these values are the double of the designed value, it was achieved to obtain the [Lambda]/[sigma]0 peaks with the same order of the designed energy from the original calculated magnetic field. The cross section was calculated with the several estimated factors. The averaged p([gamma]*, K+)[Lambda] cross section in the HKS acceptance, (0.90

Jefferson Lab experiment E89009 is the first experiment to study hypernuclear spectroscopy by (e,e' K+) reaction. The 12 / LambdaB spectrum was observed from carbon target with the best energy resolution ever achieved from direct measurement of hypernuclear spectrum. The comparisons of the 12 / LambdaB spectrum with theoretical predictions were provided in terms of excitation strength and level separations. The overall excitation is in accord with theoretical calculations. The binding energies of p-shell and s-shell Lambda states were extracted. The photo-production cross section of the 12 / LambdaB ground state was also extracted. The experiment is also the pioneer in detecting scattered electrons at near zero degrees. The benefit and lessons learned from this method was also discussed.

One of the main tasks of nuclear physics is the study of subatomic particles and their interactions. The nucleon-nucleon interactions have been extensively studied over the last decades and have been supported with plenty of experimental data. The discovery of a new quantum number, strangeness, and a new type of particles that contain it, hyperons, spurred a renewed interest in science. New classes of interactions, hyperon-nucleon, and hyperon- hyperon, evolved. One of the best ways to study such interactions is to place a hyperon inside a nucleus, where it serves as a probe of the internal structure and might manifest properties that cannot be seen in an ordinary nucleus. This book presents the high resolution spectroscopy of light to medium hypernuclei recently obtained in Jefferson Laboratory. The main emphasis is given to the physics of the core-excited states. The described analysis techniques allowed achieving high quality missing mass spectra with energy resolution of 400- 500 keV, an unprecedented value in the history of hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy.

This volume contains the proceedings of the IX International Conference on Hypernuclear and Strange Particle Physics (HYP 2006). This conference series is devoted to the progress of our knowledge about strangeness flavor in hadron and nuclear physics. Besides the traditional topics such as hadron structure, hypernuclear spectroscopy and weak decay of hypernuclei, a particular focus of this conference was on the properties of strange mesons and their binding in nuclear systems.

Since the pioneering experiment, E89-009 studying hypernuclear spectroscopy using the $(e, e{̂\prime}K+̂)$ reaction was completed, two additional experiments, E01-011 and E05-115, were performed at Jefferson Lab. These later experiments used a modified experimental design, the "Tilt Method", to dramatically suppress the large electromagnetic background, and allowed for a substantial increase in luminosity. Additionally, a new kaon spectrometer, HKS (E01-011), a new electron spectrometer, HES, and a new splitting magnet were added to produce precision, high-resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy. These two experiments, E01-011 and E05-115, resulted in two new data sets, producing sub-MeV energy resolution in the spectra of ${}{̂7}_{\Lambda}\text{He}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ and ${}{̂28}_{\Lambda} \text{Al}$ and ${}{̂7}_{\Lambda}\text{He}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{Be}$, ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ and ${}{̂52}_{\Lambda}\text{V}$. All three experiments obtained a ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$, spectrum, which is the most characteristic $p$-shell hypernucleus and is commonly used for calibration. Independent analyses of these different experiments demonstrate excellent consistency and provide the clearest level structure to date of this hypernucleus as produced by the $(e, e{̂\prime}K+̂)$ reaction. This paper presents details of these experiments, and the extraction and analysis of the observed ${}_̂{\Lambda}\text{B}$ spectrum.

The characteristics of the Jefferson Lab electron beam, together with those of the experimental equipment, offer a unique opportunity to study hypernuclear spectroscopy via electromagnetic induced reactions. Experiment 94-107 started a systematic study on 1p-shell targets, $Ĉ$, ${̂9}Be$ and $Ô$. For $Ĉ$ for the first time measurable strength in the core-excited part of the spectrum between the ground state and the p state was shown in $_̂{\Lambda}B$ spectrum. A high-quality $_̂{\Lambda}N$ spectrum was produced for the first time with sub-MeV energy resolution. A very precise $\Lambda$ binding energy value for $_̂{\Lambda}N$, calibrated against the elementary $(e, e'K+̂)$ reaction on hydrogen, has also been obtained. ${̂9}_{\Lambda}Li$ spectrum shows some disagreement in strength for the second and third doublet with respect to the theory.
