Status of J-PARC E07: Systematic study of double strangeness nuclei with hybrid emulsion method
J-PARC E07 is the most complex emulsion experiment to date investigating double hypernuclei with a hybrid emulsion method. This experiment aims to detect 104 Ξ− stop events, ten times more events than the past experiments. Thus, an unequivocal identification of several new double hypernuclei is expected. The beam exposure has been completed at the K1.8 beam line of the J-PARC hadron facility in June 2017. The photographic development of all emulsion sheets has also been completed in February 2018. The emulsion sheets are presently being analyzed with dedicated optical microscopes. Current statistics is comparable to that of E373 and so far 10 events of 3-vertices topology have been detected…
Development of two-color resonance ionization scheme for Th using an automated wide-range tunable Ti:sapphire laser system
Two-color resonance ionization schemes of Th were investigated by an automated wide-range tunable, grating-assisted Ti:Sa laser system with intracavity SHG option. A two-color ionization scheme via autoionizing state (1st step: 372.049 nm and 2nd step: 401.031 nm) was developed and its relative efficiency was lower by factor of three compared to a known three color scheme. peerReviewed
