Organizational meeting with Blake, Jake, and Seema.

Meson spectroscopy simulation work has been divided up into several pieces:


Blake:

Reaction:
γ p → η π0 p (η → γ γ)

Purpose:
-- Use the full calorimeter reconstruction code to study acceptances and resolutions.
-- Start thinking about how to use the recoil proton (e.g. Blake developed code to match tracks and showers).
-- Explore backgrounds.
-- Study PWA systematics.


Jake:

Reaction:
γ p --> π+ π+ π- n

Purpose:
-- Use HDParSim to study an all-charged track final state.
-- What can we do with the neutron? (e.g., start thinking about missing mass resolutions)
-- Study PWA systematics in the 3-pi system, a final state IU has studied with E852.


Seema:

Reaction:
γ p → b1 π+ n
γ p → f1 π+ n
(where b1 and f1 decay to charged particles).

Purpose:
-- Look at "golden mode" final states involving many tracks.
-- Update old simulations of the 8γ final state and compare to the more realistic cases when tracks are used.
