Miranda Carver ǀ Investigating the Decay of the f1(1285) Meson using the CLAS Detector

L to R: Ohio University students Miranda Carver, Joseph Rowley, Utsav Shrestha, Dr. Kenneth Hicks, and Taya Chetry in front of the CLAS12 detector at Jefferson National Laboratory

By Miranda Carver (B.S. Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) The meson is a particle made from one quark and one antiquark.  The strong force between quarks allows mesons with different masses to exist, each with unique quantum numbers.  The f1(1285) meson has a mass of 1285 […]

Kevin Boyd ǀ Selecting DIS events for experiment E12-06-114 at Jefferson National Laboratory

By Kevin Boyd (B.S. Physics Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) Experiment E12-06-114 at Jefferson Lab measured the probability of an electron inducing the radiation of a photon by a proton in kinematic regimes previously unexplored. The measurement was performed in 9 different settings. The goal of […]
