<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>Copied below is my abstract for this year's DNP for approval. I
would appreciate any comments or contributions. Thank you in
advance for the help.</p>

Determination of Kinematical Bins for η and η’ Electroproduction
with JLab's CLAS12 Detector<br>
-/title-<br>
<br>
-abstract-<br>
The CLAS12 physics program is involved in the studies of the
nucleon resonance spectrum and structure 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 useful 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. This work uses the 6.5 GeV data collected by CLAS12, with
center of mass energy W ∼ 1-3 GeV, photon virtuality Q2 ∼ 0-6
GeV2, and luminosity 54 fb-1. The purpose of this work is to
measure the differential cross section for η and η’
electroproduction. One of the steps necessary for this measurement
is the determination of the bins and bin sizes for the kinematical
parameters W, Q2, cosθ*, and ϕ*. This will require the development
of programs that filter the data and the application of fiducial
cuts to the remaining final states. After the data has been
reduced to the relevant final states we will develop an automatic
method to fit each individual kinematical bin and determine the
goodness of said fit. This will enable us to extract the η and η’
signal in each bin to determine which bins can be used and which
will need to be adjusted or rejected. Finally, to verify η and η’
detection, we will perform Monte Carlo simulations for comparison.
This work is in contrast to the bulk of the current world
database, which focuses on πN final states.<br>
