Research Abstract |
Hadrons, such as proton or meson, consists of quarks. It is known that hadrons have larger mass than sum of quark mass. In this study, we aim to measure mass distribution of mesons in nucleus precisely to study origin of hadron mass experimentally. We will perform an exclusive measurement using omega meson and simultaneous detection of production and decay processes. We have succeeded to construct a neutron detector.
