Exotic b1π Channel Simulation and Analysis

This page documents the essential results from an effort to simulate and analyze a b1&pi; 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.

Reports

 * Collaboration Meeting 5/2011 - update on work to reconstruct the b1&pi; signal from background. Some cut alternatives are reviewed.
 * Collaboration Meeting 10/2011 - Report on the b1&pi; amplitude calculator implementation, and its first use to generate and fit a signal with two waves.
 * Physics Meeting 1/6/2012 - Update on fits with error bars including the MC contribution as well as the effect of detector resolution on the uniform background wave
 * Collaboration Meeting 2/2012 - Update on amplitude fits of a b1&pi; decay channel of an exotic around 2GeV
