Excitation energy ~1MeV ⇔ Magnetic spectrometer resolution ~2 MeV → It is difficult to resolve the spin-flip state. Early experiment (by NaI detector) Hyperfragment (Stop K - reaction) + Identification via weak decay products  Large momentum transfer + Recoil momentum direction cannot be measured. ×Doppler shift correction = broad peak  Many background events Low sensitivity This experiment (by Ge detector) In-flight (K -,  - ) reaction Doppler shift correction + Low background Advantages for  -ray measurement
