  2. Introduction – Baryonic interactions Understanding B-Binteractions is one of the essential tasks in Nuclear Physics: How the “world was built” H (1p) C(3 ) Astronomical Scale - Neutron Stars - He ( - 2p, 2n) • Hypernuclei: Study YN and YY interactions • A gateway to B-B interactions beyond YN and YY

  3. Introduction – Hypernuclei • A novel feature of -hypernuclei • Short range interactions •  coupling, NN 3-B forces • Change of core structures • Drip line limit • No Pauli blocking to  • Probe the nuclear interior • Baryonic property change or single particle nature of  in heavy baryonic system • Two-body effective -Nucleus potential for p-shell hypernuclei: VΛN(r) = Vc(r) + Vs(r) SΛSN + VΛ(r) LNSΛ + VN(r) LΛSN + VT(r) S12 The radial integral of Vi forms a unique set of parameters with which the N interactions can be fitted using a set of experimental results. • G-Matrix: Realistic N interactions LN

  21. Physics Goal of Decay Pion Spectroscopy • Precise B (20keV) and high resolution (160keV FWHM) , spin-parity determination of g.s., charge symmetry breaking (CSB) from mirror pairs • Neutron rich light hypernuclei (- coupling) and neutron drip line limit (6H and 8H) • Formation of quasi free continuum and fragmentation mechanism This part of experiment is pending on our feasibility test result from MAMI-C. Two quick tests were in 2011 and 2012. New test will be done in Spring of 2014.

  22. Summary • JLabhypernuclear physics program is unique in the global Strange Nuclear Physics research • Existing results need to be published soon • It needs to continue in the 12 GeV period and new program needs to be solidly established with the best optimization
