Goals of decay pion spectroscopyGoals of decay pion spectroscopy
• Masses with high accuracy for light hypernuclei:3LH, 4
LH, …, 11LB, 12
LB
Determination of charge symmetry breaking (CSB) effects:
(4LH ↔ 4
LHe), (6LHe ↔ 6
LLi), (7LHe ↔ 7
LLi* ↔ 7LBe), …
• Search for hypernuclei near the neutron drip line:6LH, 7
LH, 8LH …
important information for -L S coupling [cf Hiyama]
6LH: the “superheavy hyper-hydrogen – puzzle” [cf Fukuda and Feliciello]
pion momentum resolution ~ 100 keV/c → mass resolution ~100 keV/c2 (FWMH) → accuracy of a few 10 keV/c2

ConclusionsConclusions
- Two current questions in few-body physics:
- Decay pion spectroscopy gives access to ground-state masses of hypernuclei and could answer the questions!
- At MAMI pioneering experiments were followed by an experiment with a dedicated setup:
Clean tag on strangeness production at zero-degree
Clean pion sample from weak decays of hyperons retrieved
Current analysis limited by statistics → continuation with luminosity increase by one order of magnitude planned
How can we understand the A = 4 and A = 7 hypernuclei?
Is the superheavy hyper-hydrogen nucleus bound?
