2 1 Contents Introduction E27 experiment –d ( π +,K + ) X reaction –Two proton tagging Goals of the next beam time –Check the feasibility of exclusive measurement –See the inclusive missing mass spectrum Summary Korea-Japan workshop on nuclear and hadron physics at J-PARC ( 2011 )

3 Introduction Nuclear K bound state –The deeply bound state by strong interaction. –Strong attraction of the I =0 KN interaction ( KN I=0 ) plays an important role in nuclear K bound state. K - pp nuclear bound state –The simplest nuclear K bound state. –Theoretical prediction of B.E. and Γ depends on the KN interaction models and the calculation method. 2 Korea-Japan workshop on nuclear and hadron physics at J-PARC ( 2011 ) PRC76, 045201 (2002) arXiv:0512037v2[nucl-th] PRC76, 044004 (2007) PRC76, 035203 (2007) NPA804, 197 (2008) PRC80, 045207 (2009) Theoretical prediction B.E ( MeV ) Γ ( MeV ) T.
