There is an interest in continuing the PrimEx physics program with the GlueX detector with the 12 GeV beam. One can find links to meetings and minutes for a series of GlueX and PrimEx meetings here.

Physics Topics

  • Measurement of the γγ width of the η and η' using Primakoff Production
  • Measurement of rare η decay branching fractions

Input Format for Signal Events

Signal events can be fed into the GlueX Monte Carlo using a simple ASCII format for the four vectors of each a event. Below is a sample event.

Output Data File Format

The reconstructed and analyzed data events are written out in a ROOT tree with the name "event". The tree contains several series of variable length arrays. A description of the entries appears below:

  • n: The number of reconstructed photons in the FCAL
  • E[n], px[n], py[n], pz[n]: The four momentum of the nth reconstructed photon
  • neuETot: The total reconstructed energy in the FCAL
  • M: The invariant mass of all FCAL photons
  • genNeuETot: The total generated energy of all η's, π0's; γ's, electrons, and positrons.
  • nNeuGen: The number of generated neutral particles
  • genNeuE[nNeuGen], genNeuPx[nNeuGen], genNeuPy[nNeuGen], genNeuPz[nNeuGen]: The four momentum of the nNeuGenth generated neutral
  • neuType[nNeuGen]: The GEANT particle type of the nNeuGenth particle
  • nChGen: The number of generated charged particles
  • genChE[nChGen], genChPx[nChGen], genChPy[nChGen], genChPz[nChGen]: The four momentum of the nChGenth generated neutral
  • chType[nChGen]: The GEANT particle type of the nChGenth particle
