Responsibilities Prof. Keigo Mizutani is a KLF Technical coordinator for the Drift Chamber Alignment.

Physics Interests Spectroscopy of \Sigma* and \Lambda* hyperons using the K-long beam and cryogenic hydrogen/deuterium targets Specroscopy of \Xi* hyperons using the K-long beam and cryogenic hydrogen/deuterium targets Specroscopy of \Omega* hyperons using the K-long beam and cryogenic hydrogen/deuterium targets

Prof. Takatsugu Ishikawa, Prof. Hideki Kohri, Prof. Takashi Nakano, and Prof. Sun-Young Ryu work on the LEPS2 collaboration studying genuine and hidden-strangeness pentaquark baryons, production mechanism of mesons with a photon beam, and nuclear medium modification of the meson mass. Prof. Takatsugu Ishikawa, Prof. Hideki Kohri, Prof. Takashi Nakano work on the high-p collaboration at J-PARC studying excited Xi and Omega hyperons in addition to ordinary excited Lambda and Sigma hyperons and the hidden-strangeness pentaquark baryons. Prof. Takashi Nakano and Prof. Sun-Young Ryu work on the Belle collaboration at KEK, and study various hadron phenomena such as production of exotic hadrons and measurement of production yields of various kind of hadrons. However, the production mechanisms in SPring-8, J-PARC, and Belle are different: photon beams are used in the LEPS2 collaboration, and charged pion and kaon beams are used in the high-p collaboration, and electron-positron annihilation in the Belle collaboration. There does not seem to be a conflict of interest with the ongoing work in the KLF collaboration. Prof. Keigo Mizutani is scheduled to arrive at RCNP on 16 October 2023, and his description will be added after his arrival.
