A new experiment is being prepared at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) to determine the Λ binding energy of hypertriton. The energy will be measured by the spectroscopy of mono-energetic pions from two-body decays of stopped hyperfragments. During the last decade, it has been demonstrated at MAMI that this technique yields an unprecedented precision. The new experiment makes use of a novel high-luminosity target that takes advantage of the low density of lithium to minimize momentum smearing for the outgoing pions. With a beam energy determination by the novel undulator light interference method an improved calibration of the magnetic spectrometers can be performed to reach the goal of a statistical and systematic error of ∼ 20 keV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
