Exotic b1π Channel Simulation and Analysis

This page documents the essential results from an effort to simulate and analyze a b1π decay of an exotic resonance. This is done in the context of the GlueX experiment: the data is simulated as photo-production of mesons on a proton target using a Monte Carlo model of the GlueX detector.
