Research Program in Intermediate Energy Physics

该奖项支持与介子光谱学实验相关的研究。主要的工作是针对RadPhi实验，该实验旨在测量Phi(1020)介子标量态a_0(980)和f_0(980)在Phi光生过程中的辐射衰变。这项实验在2000年夏天进行了为期60天的数据收集，目前已进入数据分析的最后阶段。私家侦探是拉德菲的发言人。除了辐射衰变，Radphi数据还包含在5GeV的光产生中的一些全中性终态，这些终态正在用分波分析进行研究。这些研究对GlueX实验的准备工作做出了重大贡献，该实验对9GeV下的光产生中的带电和中性终态进行了全面的分析。在GlueX实验中，康涅狄格州大学的团队负责相干光子源和标记器，以及物理模拟。

This award supports research in connection with experiments in meson spectroscopy. The primary effort is directed at the RadPhi experiment, which aims to measure the radiative decays of the phi(1020) meson toscalar states a0(980) and f0(980) in phi photoproduction. Theexperiment has collected its data during a 60-day run in summer 2000,and is in the final stages of data analysis. The P.I. is spokesman ofRadphi. In addition to radiative decays, the Radphi data also contain anumber of all-neutral final states in photoproduction at 5 GeV, whichare being studied using partial-wave analysis. These studies are asignificant contribution to preparations for the GlueX experiment, whichundertakes a comprehensive analysis of both charged and neutral finalstates in photoproduction at 9 GeV. Within the GlueX experiment, theUConn group has responsibility for the coherent photon source andtagger, and for physics simulations.
