Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to study the properties of mesons inside the nuclear medium, we developed a silicone-strip detector system for charged particles emitted from the nuclear target irradiated by a high-energy photon beam. The aim of the experiment is to detect the multiple protons produced through the absorption process of the vector mesons produced inside the target nuclei. In the research period, we have developed and improved the data processing and acquisition system for the detector.
