We report the first measurement of the photoproduction cross section of the ϕ meson in its neutral decay mode in the reaction γp→pϕ(KSKL) . The experiment was performed with a tagged photon beam of energy 1.6 ≤ Eγ ≤ 3.6 GeV incident on a liquid hydrogen target of the CLAS spectrometer at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The pϕ final state is identified via reconstruction of KS in the invariant mass of two oppositely charged pions and by requiring the missing particle in the reaction γp→pKSX to be KL. …

Physics Theses & Dissertations

Photoproduction of the π0 meson was studied using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility using tagged incident photon energies spanning the range Eγ = 1.1 GeV - 5.45 GeV. The measurement is performed on a liquid hydrogen target in the reaction γppe +e(γ). The final state of the reaction is the sum of two subprocesses for π0 decay, the Dalitz decay mode of π0e +eγ and conversion mode where one photon from π0 → γγ decay is converted into a …
