An experiment measuring electroproduction of hypernuclei has been performed in Hall A at Jefferson Lab on a $^{12}$C target. In order to increase counting rates and provide unambiguous kaon identification two superconducting septum magnets and a Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector (RICH) were added to the Hall A standard equipment. An unprecedented energy resolution of less than 700 keV FWHM has been achieved. Thus, the observed lam{12}{B} spectrum shows for the first time identifiable strength in the core-excited region between the ground-state {it s}-wave $Lambda$ peak and the 11 MeV {it p}-wave $Lambda$ peak.
