Demonstrated the feasibility of measurements of heavy hypernuclei,, w/ deeply bound , which are not accessible using the gamma ray decay measurement technique. 10 Be(e,e’K + ) 10  Li New data under analysis. Will be compared with related data on as a cross check on modifications to CSB likely to be done to explain the 7  He / 7  Li* / 7  Be result.
