Abstract

The low-energy, background free and tagged Ks from the φ(1020) decay produced at the DAφNE φ-factory in Frascati offer a unique opportunity for high resolution hypernuclei spectroscopy with Kat rest. In this paper we outline the general problematics of this interesting field, expose the physics motivations that support our proposal and, finally, describe the techniques foreseen for precise measurements of the hypernuclear level energies and their decay modes. In this regard we investigated the performances of a magnetic spectrometer foreseen for] one of the interaction region of the DAφNE machine. Details on the detector characteristics as well as on its response to all the particles in the final state will be extensively discussed.
