==Conclusions==
Work on this project, like the overall GlueX project, is still ongoing. Current endeavers include comparing the experimental data to the results predicted by the models, in order to quantify any discrepancy there and determine possible improvements. Other considerations include improving the optical lever system, which reported data with too high an uncertainty value to consistently measure more than three modes above the fundamental frequency. The high uncertainty was mostly caused by scatter in the laser; this could be improved with the use of a laser with a higher Q factor or by decreasing the frequency of imperfections on the surface of the cantilevers.
