Abstract:

This document describes the different plots that are useful in GlueX analyses. The plots are based on the production of mesons and baryons, both of which may subsequently decay. The plots discussed are the Chew-Low plot, the Dalitz plot, and the Goldhaber plot. These used independently and together are useful to understand photoproduction reactions in GlueX.
