Summary
14/14
Kaonic-3He Balmer-series x-rays will be measured with precision of a few eV (E17).
We employed the similar technique as KEK-PS E570 (SDD, In-beam energy calibration, Fiducial volume cut )
Detector construction is in progress. (Beam line detectors, CDS, LHe-3 target, SDD)
K1.8BR beamline tuning was started. We succeeded in identification of K+ by TOF measurement.
Soon, we will start data taking at J-PARC

At 1/10 of full intensity, E17 can be performed with ~1 monthWe don’t require the good K/Pi separation (for in-beam calibration)
We proposed E17 as DAY-1 experiment at J-PARC.
E17 has been approved in DAY-1, Stage-2.
