Description
The Kaon LT experiment (E12-09-011) at Jefferson Lab, USA was designed to study the LT separated cross-section of the reaction $^1H(e, e'K^+ )Λ / Σ^0$ and to attempt to extract the $K^+$ electromagnetic form factor. The measurements for the $K^+$ electromagnetic form factor are important, as they allow us to better understand the role of the strange quark ($s$) in the $K^+$ structure. This experiment ran over fall 2018 and spring 2019 in the Hall-C at Jefferson Lab. The scattered electron ($e'$) and the produced $K^+$ were measured in the two magnetic spectrometers called High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) and Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS), while the $Λ$ or the $Σ^0$ are identified on the basis of their masses in the missing mass spectrum. The high precision nature of the experiment is required an in depth understanding of the behaviour of the detectors that are utilised in the experiment. In this talk, I will briefly outline the experiment, the experimental facility and the preliminary results of the studies that have been completed.
