[clas12_rgk] APS Meeting abstract

[Izzy Illari]

Dear all,

Below is my abstract for the spring APS meeting. Thank you to Bill, 
Igor, and Volker for their contributions. I would appreciate any other 
comments and suggestions.

Study of η and η’ Electroproduction with JLab's CLAS12 Detector
-/title-

-abstract-

The CLAS12 physics program is involved in the study of meson 
spectroscopy in electroproduction of a large variety of final states. 
With new CLAS12 data, we can investigate the electroproduction of the η 
and η’ mesons, which will provide a complementary tool to study nucleon 
resonances N*. Due to the fact that both η and η’ have isospin I = 0 
this provides an “isospin filter” that allows us to access nucleon 
resonances where I = ½. One of the primary steps for this work is the 
identification of η and η’ in the 6.5 GeV data collected by Run Group K 
(center of mass energy W ∼ 1-3 GeV, photon virtuality Q^2 ∼ 0-6 GeV^2 , 
and luminosity 54 fb^-1 ) via their decays into  γ\ga’s and π’s. This 
will require the use of Monte Carlo simulations and the development of 
programs that filter the data for the relevant final states. Some 
channels pose unique issues of particle identification and complex 
combinatorics. To verify the detection of η and η’, mass, momentum, 
angle and other plots will need to be produced and compared to MC 
simulations. This work is in contrast to the bulk of the current world 
database, which focuses on πN final states.

All the best,

Izzy
