GlueX Physics Workshop 2016
Contents
Purpose
- To give an overview of recent developments in hadron spectroscopy, with a focus on physics analysis opportunities with Jefferson Lab experimental data.
- To discuss software and analysis techniques that will be essential in extracting first physics results from GlueX data.
- To have hands-on sessions for participants to actively engage in performing physics analyses.
These talks, tutorials, and hands-on sessions will be catered towards graduate students to help familiarize them with doing physics analyses with Jefferson Lab experimental data.
Although this workshop is GlueX-focused, its content is of interest to the larger Jefferson Lab hadron spectroscopy community, and all are invited to attend.
