At its last meeting the COSY User Association, CANU, asked the community to putforward their interests in the physics relevant to the spectrometer `$\textbf{Big Karl}$' at COSY.In response to the charge of CANU, a `brainstorming meeting' was held April 10-11, 2000to determine whether there is the enthusiasm and potential justifying the future operationof the facility. The meeting attracted 35 participants from 10 national and internationalinstitutions to present and discuss a variety of topics related to future experiments at BigKarl.Before summarizing details of the meeting, a short description of the spectrometer facilityBig Karl is given. The facility is essentially a new instrument using refurbished dipolemagnets from its predecessor. The large acceptance quadrupole magnets and the beamoptics are new. Big Karl has a design very similar as the focussing spectrometers at MAMI(Mainz), AGOR (Groningen) and the high resolution spectrometer (HRS) in Hall A atJefferson Laboratory with $\Delta$E/E = 10$^{-4}$ but at some lower maximum momentum. Thefocal plane detectors consisting of multiwire drift chambers and scintillating hodoscopesare similar. Unlike HRS, Big Karl still needs Cerenkov counters and polarimeters in itsfocal plane; detectors which are necessary to perform some of the experiments proposedduring the brainstorming. In addition, BIG KARL allows emission angle reconstructionvia track measurements in its focal plane with high resolution.In the following the physics highlights, the proposed and potential experiments aresummarized. During the meeting it became obvious that the physics to be explored atBig Karl can be grouped into five distinct categories, and this summary is organizedaccordingly. |
