The new FINUDA challenge: γ-ray spectroscopy of hypernuclei at DAΦNE

The DAPhiNE e+e- collider, the Phi-factory currently operating at the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati (Italy), is the unconventional playground where the FINUDA Collaboration is successfully carrying on its hypernuclear study program. In view of a possible machine luminosity upgrade, it has been proposed to add to the present FINUDA spectrometer the gamma-ray detection capability. The combined exploitation of the excellent High Purity Germanium detector energy resolution and of the FINUDA performances will allow the construction of a powerful and really complete experimental setup dedicated to hypernuclear physics.
