JLAB sponsored workshop
Electromagnetic production of strangeness is considered as an important tool
to probe inside hadronic matter and investigate the nature of hadronic
interactions. Recent experimental results from the (e,e'K+)
reaction on hydrogen and deuterium at Jefferson Laboratory have
demonstrated the uniqueness and advantages of the CEBAF machine
to study hypernuclear physics by the electron beam. The first (e,e'K+) experiments on both
3He and 4He are scheduled to run in the fall of 1999, to
be followed by major experimental programs in both Halls A and C to
study the production
of  -hypernuclei
in the p-shell and beyond. These experiments are expected to have great impact
on the strangeness nuclear physics program, particularly hypernuclear physics,
in which we recently observed significant progress by reactions with hadronic
beams at KEK and BNL.
It is in this spirit that the scientific community involved in these
experiments plans to organize a workshop dedicated to hypernuclear
physics with electromagnetic probes and its advantages. We will also discuss
the current experimental setup, and the needed upgrade to carry the next
generation experiments fully taking advantage of the high quality electron
accelerators.
