Experiments at CLAS12 and the Electron Ion Collider facilitate production of meson resonances dominantly through low Q2 virtual photoproduction (or quasi-real photoproduction). This provides an effectively elliptically polarised photon beam which provides stringent constraints on the underlying partial wave amplitudes. We will consider the prospects for analysing exotic mesons at the EIC with...
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is a proposed future collider in which the next generation of hadron spectroscopy experiments are set to take place. During electroproduction, resonances are produced through the exchange of a virtual photon, which gives greater detail on different production mechanisms compared to that of a real photon. The EIC will also have access to polarised electron and...
The KLong Experiment in Jefferson Lab Hall D will use a secondary beam of neutral kaons and the GlueX experimental setup to perform strange hadron spectroscopy. By achieving a flux on the order of $1×10^{4}$ $K_{L}$/sec, KLF will allow a broad range of measurements that improve the statistics of previous world data by several orders of magnitude.
The experiment will measure both...
The photo-production of vector mesons off the nucleon has long been established as an important tool to access the gluon content of the nucleon. In particular, the photo-production of J/$\psi$ near the threshold energy has been related to the Gluons Gravitational Form Factors of the nucleon. However, the validity of this interpretation must be tested and additional contributions such as open...
Since the prediction of the meson in 1935, facilities and institutions across the world have contributed to the discovery of over 200 distinct types, some of those being the well-known pions, kaons and J/Ψ. Understanding the properties of the mesons, including their spin, lifetime and mass, allows for the classification of this vast family of hadrons to be improved. This is particularly...
