Physics with Low Momentum Secondary Beams

So far there are only low-momentum beam lines. Strangeness nuclear physics

– With (pi, K), (K, pi), and (K-, K+) reactions Other hadron physics

– Many strangeness related, but a few non-strange. Low Momentum Secondary Beams

– Pions and Kaons <2 GeV/c at K1.8 beam line• Momentum was selected so that the production cross section of the Xsi

baryon is at the maximum.• Major goal is S=-2 hypernuclei (Xsi nuclei and double-Lambda nuclei).• Used also for (pi, K) reaction for single hypernuclei.

– Pions and Kaons <1.1GeV/c at K1.8BR and K1.1 beam line• Single Lambda hypernuclei

• Gamma ray spectroscopy• Search for K-pp bound states

Possible hadron exps at high-momentum BL

Sea quark structure through Drell-Yan measurement– Currently the E906/SeaQuest is running at Fermilab with 120-GeV protons

to see d-bar/u-bar asymmetry.– Larger x possible with 50-GeV protons at J-PARC.

• J-PARC is currently operated with 30-GeV and there are no demands of 50-GeV operation from other experiments, which needs modification of a part of the accelerator components.

– There could be other possibilities of physics with dimuon measurement such as,

• J/Psi measurements to see the nucleon sea,

• dimuons from pion/kaon induced reactions to see meson-like substructure of a nucleon.

Spin related quantities– Polarized beam relatively far future.

– Polarized target would be available in the near future.

– Measurement such as Bohr-Mulders can be carried out even with unpol. Drell-Yan measurements.

Gluon distributions in proton and neutron are very similar at 800 GeV. At much lower energies, J/Psi might be produced by q-qbar annihilation. Azimuthal angle dependence. If J/Psi production is q-qbar annihilation, J/Psi becomes a tool to investigate quark structure of nucleon at lower energies.

Accident

Radiation accident occurred at Hadron Hall on May 23rd.– Due to a malfunction of the beam extraction system of the 50 GeV synchrotron, a

proton beam was delivered to the gold target of the Hadron facility within a very short time (30GeV, 2E13protons in ~5ms). As a result, the gold target is considered to have momentarily reached an extremely high temperature and a part of the target was damaged. Radioactive material then leaked into the hadron experimental hall and some workers were externally and/or internally exposed to radiation.

– Operation of ventilation fans of the hall resulted in leak of radioactive material out of the radiation controlled area of the Hadron Experimental Facility. The data logs of radiation dose rates at monitoring posts at the border of the J-PARC site showed no signatures. However, at three monitoring posts and stations of a neighboring JAEA facility, momentary increases of the radiation dose rate were observed. It is assessed that the released radioactive material was diluted and attenuated as it dispersed in a narrow strip towards the west. The maximum integrated radiation dose has been estimated even at the site boundary closest to the Hadron Experimental Facility was 0.29 µSv (preliminary).

– All the J-PARC facilities have been shutdown since the accident. A full investigation of the cause of the accident is now underway along with the complete review of safety practices and emergency procedures at all J-PARC facilities. Our first priority is to restore public trust in the facility by developing and implementing measures to prevent the reoccurrence of an accident and to provide a safe experimental environment for users and workers.

Summary

Physics experiments have started at the Hadron Hall of J-PARC, and the first physics paper is being published from the E19 experiment. So far experiments with lower momentum pions/kaons are being carried out.

The funding for the high-momentum beam line with COMET has been approved by the government. The construction is expected to start soon. Mass shift of phi meson would be the first experiment, and other experiments are being discussed.

J-PARC is now very busy to respond to the accident. We don’t have any forecast on the schedule, but we make our best.
