Omega production

Tulio reported on his recent efforts on this topic

  • some slides in preparation
  • omega production: one of the most important issues for PrimEx
  • redoing analysis of coherent and incoherent omega production
  • using data from Rochester from 70’s, unpublished, photoproduction, bremsstrahlung
  • calculation fits data very well
  • angular distributions in preparation
  • presentation in a week or two
  • production in lead is large
  • fit with three components
    1. coherent
    2. isobar excitation
    3. incoherent production nuclear break-up

Eta paper

Tulio announced publication of a paper by him and collaborators on eta photoproduction

  • overlap with primex physics
  • possibly relevant for hall d
  • accepted for publication by prl
  • re-analysis of Cornell data

Publication discussion

We reviewed the list of publications from the last meeting.

  • detector paper: add Liping to list, decide on who is responsible
  • Pawel responsible for Compton
  • theory publications?
  • carbon coherent result?
  • incoherent cross section?
