[Nuclear] One more abstract for CEU at DNP2010

[Jerry Gilfoyle]

Hi Folks,

Below is an abstract for a poster at the Conference Experience for
Undergraduates at the fall, 2010 DNP meeting in Sante Fe.  It will be
presented by Stacey Barker who worked extensively with Dennis Weygand this
summer. The abstracts are due Friday. Let me know what you think.

The spectrum of hadrons provides important insight to the low-energy,
non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the
strong interaction.  Meson states are particularly interesting due to their
binary structure; most mesons appear to composed of a quark-antiquark pair.
However, measurement of the meson spectrum is confounded by the broad and
overlapping nature of these states. The technique of partial wave analysis
(PWA) has been used to successfully decompose these states from the
parameters of their decay in limited kinematic regimes, usually high energy
and low momentum transfer. To exploit PWA at low energy, for example at
CEBAF, the analysis becomes more compute intensive. Here we report on
techniques of PWA in a distributed compute environment, using the CLARA
platform, a java-based service oriented architecture (SOA) being developed
for the CLAS12 offline analysis environment. Work supported by US Department
of Energy contract DE-FG02-96ER40980.
