Others were unable to perform a kaon electroproduction experiment as precise as the one we've completed because the equipment and the continuous beam were not available. The resulting data, currently being analyzed, will provide a better understanding of the kaon, as well as, form a basis for future experiments at Jefferson Lab and elsewhere. The immediate impact of the experiment will be felt by the four HU graduate students, and Rick Mohring of the University of Maryland. For them, the data taken during the allotted beam- time provides a basis for their theses required to earn doctoral degrees in Physics. Jefferson Lab is managed and operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by the Southeastern Universities Research Association, Inc., a consortium of 41 universities in the southeast.
