Summary of hypernuclear spectra obtained with the SKS spectrometer
12C
• The (13-) state at 6.9 MeV is located higher than the
corresponding 12C excited state.
• The nature of the state is under discussion– N spin-spin interaction
– Mixing of other negative parity states
• The width of the p-orbital is peak broader– consistent with ls splitting

What did we learn from MeV hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy ?
• Improvement of the resolution, even if it is small, has a great value– 3 MeV → 2 MeV → 1.5 MeV
• Hypernuclear yield rate plays a crucial role– feasibility of experiments
– expandability to coincidence experiments
• hypernuclear weak decay
• gamma ray spectroscopy
Future prospect
• From MeV to sub-MeV with high efficiency
• Wide variety of reactions– angular momentum transfer
– spin-flip amplitude• electromagnetic hyperon production
• (K,) at 1.1 GeV/c
– proton or neutron to • hyperon photoproduction
• neutral meson detection
• New opportunities – (K-,0) at BNL around 1 MeV
• Youn

– Gamma-ray spectroscopy a few keV• Tamura, Tanida

Physics outline
• 12C spectrum reproduced, the core excited state at
Ex=6.6 MeV was puzzling.• 10B spectrum similarly favor strong spin singlet strength
for the LN interaction
• 7Li and Be are typical L hypernuclei treated by cluster model.
• 7Li spectrum is consistent with the gamma ray data. It also show the strength for T=1 states.
• 9Be spectrum show the 1--3- band of genuine L hypernuclear states. 8Be* core excited states are also observed with a distinct structure, whose position is not reproduced by the available cluster model.
• 13C spectrum shows clear shoulder structure at around Ex=10 MeV, which supposedly consists of 12C(0+)xp3/2 and 12C(1+)xs1/2, from which we may deduce the peak position for the p3/2 state. By combining the recent gamma ray data for p1/2, spin orbit splitting may be derived.
• Pik 16O spectrum can be compared with the CERN Kpi spectrum, from which we may conclude that the spin-orbit splitting is quite small.

Summary
• MeV hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy has matured to a level that allows quantitative investigation of their structure and N interaction through the structure information.
• The (,K+) reaction has established its value for hypernuclear spectroscopy since it favorably excites hypernuclear bound states.
• Much better resolution and high detection efficiency are required for the hypernuclear spectroscopy in the future.
• Sub-MeV reaction spectroscopy together with gamma-ray spectroscopy will further explore frontiers of strangeness nuclear physics.
