Photoproduction of η and η' Mesons using CLAS at JLAB
- Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA (United States)
The focus of this analysis is photoproduced η and η' mesons. The data were obtained in Hall B at Jefferson Lab using a photon beam at an endpoint energy of 4.016 GeV in the spring and summer of 2004. The Hall B photon tagging system and the CLAS spectrometer were used to collect the data. From this data, and in the course of analysis of the Nη and Nη' systems, measurements were made of the differential cross sections for η and η' photoproduction. The differential cross section measurements for the η improve the statistics and slightly improve the kinematic range for world data. The results for the η' represents an almost entirely new dataset which will allow for further analysis of the η' meson. The results of this measurement for the η' extend the statistics and kinematic range of world data dramatically.
