IntroductionIntroduction
QCD and spontaneous breaking of Chiral Symmetry
• quarks & qluons ⇒ hadrons at low energy• Quark and anti-quark pair condensation
– <qq>=0 ⇒ <qq>≠0
• hadrons have effective mass– M∝ f π, f π
2mπ2 ~ m<qq>
• Generate pion as Nambu-Goldstone boson– Light pion mass

hrough gaps of counters– Separate p and π+ well in PID
geometry is simple for determining flight length, dE/dx etc.

4 days experiment with one target is approved– Establish measurement
• Present yield is too few
– Discuss production more clearly• M, p and distributions
– First step to measure A-dependence• At least 2 more targets

SummarySummary
• Medium modification of π+π- pair in sigma channel is still not conclusive
• We are preparing another experiment, proton induced subthreshold pion pair production in nuclei
• large acceptance detector and effective π- trigger• π+π- like events are seen, but low statistics• With additional detectors and improved trigger syste
m, we will perform 4-day experiment soon.
