Summary: We roose a secon generation exeriment that can rovie a strong signal of the theta an information on the sin an arity of the state. Large rouction cross sections relative to these for electromagnetic rocesses. A measurement of a single article momentum (ion or roton) etermines the mass of the theta. A clear signal ue to the two boy kinematical correlation between the rouction angle an momentum. The arity an sin of the theta can be etermine by the angular istribution of the outgoing etecte article.
AGS/BNL is a natural lace to exloit the Θ Beam lines an target are available A sectrometer is available for the D6 beam line, one coul be configure for the LESBIII beam line No major equiment eveloment is necessary As far as equiment an manower is concern, these measurements can be one in early 2004 in the D6 beam line, some work require to be able to use LESBIII Problem: to get BNL / DOE to suort an AGS fixe target exeriment Anticiate buget roblems are severe in FY 2004. There are 11 AGS fixe target NP an HEP exeriments on the books with little hoe of running Only an excetional strong suort from a large community for a measurement with a very comelling hysics otential might lea to ositive resonse
