Charge Information

Continuing the process of setting the scientific priorities and beam allocations for currently approved (and conditionally approved) 12 GeV proposals. See the full charge here.

Outline of Material

We are allowed a 10 page long update to the proposal that was presented in 2006. In discussions with Larry Cardman, he saw our main purpose being to re-affirm the physics case for GlueX, and then describe what has happened in the filed since our proposal. The following outline has a rough page count for this. It may turn out that we need more for the physics part.

1. Introduction (~1/2 page)
2. Progress in the field of spectroscopy. (~4 pages)
   1. Updates on theoretical (lattice) work.
   2. Updates on the experimental front.
3. Progress on Analysis for GlueX (~2 pages)
   1. Presentation of a PWA with GlueX software.
   2. Progress on PWA theory and implementation.
4. Updates to the experimental Setup. (~3 pages)
   1. The CD2/CD3 reviews.
   2. Changes to the detector.
   3. Status of construction.
5. Other Physics with GlueX (1/2 page)
   1. Cascade Baryons
   2. PrimEx
   3. others

Slides Presented to the PAC

We are allowed to present three slides (presentation made by Curtis) to the PAC on GlueX. These slides are to contain the following.

• Slide 1: Summarize the scientific case for the experiment.
• Slide 2: Summarize the data anticipated and its projected accuracy.
• Slide 3: Anything else the collaboration would like to add that they feel is relevant.
