Search for Gluonic Excitations at the GlueX experiment

项目描述：弗吉尼亚州杰弗逊实验室的GlueX实验的目标是理解胶子激发，并揭示夸克约束和强作用力的本质。研究背景的简要描述，包括潜在的影响：弗吉尼亚州杰斐逊实验室的GlueX实验的目标是理解胶子激发，并揭示夸克约束和强作用力的本质。其影响是广泛的，因为最终目标是充分理解构成我们周围物质的强子（质子和中子）在能量尺度上的强相互作用的本质。目的和目标参加弗吉尼亚杰弗逊实验室的GlueX实验。分析数据以测量光子不对称分析数据以搜索奇异态为合作校准线性偏振光子束数据。在当地小组会议和合作会议上定期介绍最新情况。参加弗吉尼亚州的HUGS暑期学校。研究方法的新颖性：GlueX实验是世界上唯一一个使用线偏振光子束来寻找QCD外来物的实验。此外，探测器具有独特的。密封设计，允许检测多粒子的最终状态与中性和带电粒子。作为强子物理研究的前沿实验，GlueX完全符合STFC的战略和目标。其潜在的应用和好处主要的好处将是提高对夸克约束和强作用力性质的理解。在与软件、分布式计算、检测器开发和博士培训相关的领域有几个相关的好处。GlueX实验是一个有120个成员的国际实验。

Project description:The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory in Virginia has the goal of understanding Gluonic excitations, and shedding light on the nature of quark confinement and the strong force. Brief description of the context of the research including potential impact:The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory in Virginia has the goal of understanding Gluonic excitations, and shedding light on the nature of quark confinement and the strong force. The impact is widespread, since the ultimate aim is to have a full understanding of the nature of the strong interaction at the energy scale of the hadrons (protons and neutrons) the make up the matter around us. Aims and objectivesParticipate in the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory in Virginia. Analyse data to measure photon asymmetriesAnalyse data to search for exotic statesCalibrate data on linearly polarised photon beam for the collaboration. Present regular updates at local group meetings and collaboration meetings.Attend HUGS summer school in Virginia.Novelty of the research methodologyThe GlueX experiment is the only experiment in the world using a linearly polarised photon beam to search for QCD exotics. Additionally, the detector has a unique. hermetic design to allow the detection of multi-particle finale states with both neutral and charged particles. Alignment to STFC's strategies and research areasAs an experiment at the forefront of hadron physics research, GlueX is perfectly aligned with STFCs strategy and aims.Its potential applications and benefitsThe main benefit will be an improved understanding of the nature of quark confinement and the strong force. There are several associated benefits in areas related to software, distributed computing, detector development and PhD training.Any companies or collaborators involvedThe GlueX experiment is an international experiment with 120 members.
