Hi all-
The photodisintegration (hereafter referred to as "gpn") meeting
will be tomorrow, Thur at 1pm at Bates. I had Barbara reserve the conference
room. The main goals of this meeting, as I understand them are:
1) Ensure that we are all in agreement with regard to how the
momentum is corrected with the absence of a speed of light triggering
particle.
2) Talk to Tim et al about work done at Dartmouth on gpn.
---> Refine the gpn event selection criteria
3) Discuss the development of a gpn generator.
4) Determine the best course of action in the analysis.
-what is our kinematic range?
-is the delta region the main (or only) region of
interesting physics accessible to BLAST?
...looking ahead a bit ...
-can we truly use those polarization observables that
are well model constrained as a calibration so that
we can make good measurements on those observables
that have an appreciable amount of model dependence?
...and maybe farther looking ahead ...
5) There are many observables for the gpn process.
In addition to the polarization observables Tij, what else can
we measure? Can we somehow make a measurement
of the total disintegration cross section with BLAST? - maybe
by comparing with Gen results?? There is significant
uncertainty of the total cross section in the delta region
(see Arenhovel "Few Body Systems: Photodisintegration of the
Deuteron" p69) so this could be quite interesting.
Of course this is my thesis (along with the vector ed-elastic) so I
will be doing all of the work - but I appreciate your insight (and
hindsight in some cases!) See you tomorrow.
Pete
P.S. John, anyone, please correct or add to this if need be
