Measuring the Helicity Difference in πη Photoproduction using the Crystal Barrel Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
In this prospectus of dissertation, the motivations and methods for calculating the helicity difference, P z , for the reaction γp → pπη will be discussed. I will also discuss my efforts to advance the CB-ELSA TR16 experiment through my duties in calibrating the energy spectrum of the main calorimeters, Crystal Barrel and miniTAPS. After my explanation of how to calculate the helicity difference for γp → pπη, I will present my preliminary results for the helicity difference of γp → pη, which is more easily determined experimentally. Major Professor: Dr. Volker Credé

Measuring the Gluon Helicity Difference Distribution Function of the Proton using Photoproduction Processes
Little information is known about the polarization of gluons inside a longitudinally polarized proton. I report on the sensitivity of photoproduction experiments to it. Both jet and heavy quark production are considered.
متن کاملOn the Possibilities to Study the Exotic State 1−+ in the Experiments on Photoproduction of the Πη, Πη′ Systems
We show that in photoproduction experiments there are propitious conditions to study the exotic state 1−+ in the πη and πη′ channels. We show that for unpolarized photon beam the contributions with natural and unnatural parity exchanges do not interfere with each other, the fact which gives additional arguments in the estimation of the correctness of phase shift analysis. In the reaction of pho...

The coupled channel model of the a0(980) and a0(1450) resonances has been constructed using the separable πη and KK interactions. We have shown that two S–matrix poles corresponding to the a0(980) meson have significantly different widths in the complex energy plane. The KK to πη branching ratio, predicted in our model near the a0(1450) mass, is in agreement with the result of the Crystal Barre...
متن کاملHelicity-Dependent Angular Distributions in Double-Charged-Pion Photoproduction
Two-pion photoproduction in the reaction ~γp → pππ has been studied at Jefferson Lab Hall B using a circularly-polarized tagged photon beam in the energy range between 0.6 GeV and 2.3 GeV. Owing to the large angular acceptance of the CLAS detector, complete beam-helicity-dependent angular distributions of the final-state particles were measured. The large cross-section asymmetries exhibit stron...
