3 What is the big picture? Theory and Motivation Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Hadrons: Particles that are held together and interact via the strong force. Exist as bound states of quarks. Are the most fundamental of systems found in nature. Members of this group are Baryons and Mesons. Quark Structure: Baryon: qqq Quark Structure: Meson: q q Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 3 / 58

4 Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Properties of QCD Describes the strong force. Introduces a color charge analogous to the electric charge (red, blue, green). Gluons and quarks possess a color charge, antiparticles possess anticolor. All observed particles are white or colorless states. Interactions are mediated by gluons. Since gluons carry a color charge, they mediate AND participate in the interactions.

5 Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): Features Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Two main features of QCD Asymptotic Freedom: When the energy of the system is high (like in a high energy reaction high momentum transfer), the quarks and gluons interact very weakly. Baryon can then be treated as being comprised of three non-interacting quarks pqcd. Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 5 / 58

6 Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): Features Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Two main features of QCD Asymptotic Freedom: When the energy of the system is high (like in a high energy reaction high momentum transfer), the quarks and gluons interact very weakly. Baryon can then be treated as being comprised of three non-interacting quarks pqcd. Confinement: The attractive force between quarks grows with the distance between them. This means that the quarks are confined to be in the hadron there are no free quarks (non-pqcd). Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 6 / 58

10 Why so many missing resonances? Theory: QCD Constituent Quark Models and Missing Resonances Possible answers and reasons... Most of what is found in the PDG handbooks has come from πn and KN scattering γn. Analyses involved a single meson final state (i.e. K + Λ, K + Σ, Nπ, Nη). Analyze a double-meson final state has the largest cross section. Sequential decay to final ground state particles: ex. γp N ++ π p π + π. Particle mass widths expected to be 5 MeV too big for a two-body (single meson) final state. Possible quark-diquark structure of the baryon.

30 Theory and Motivation Extraction of Enforces energy-momentum conservation. Varies final state measurements (4-vectors) within resolution limits (errors) of said measurements. Errors (as calculated by the reconstruction code) are extracted from data and used to build the tracking covariance matrix (event by event). Errors are then scaled to actual run-dependent resolutions to make the full covariance matrix. σ 2 Eγ C pp C pλ C pφ C pλ C λλ C λφ C pφ C λφ C φφ C pp k C pλ k C pφ k C pλ C pφ k C λλ k C λφ k C λφ k k C φφ k Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 3 / 58

31 Theory and Motivation Extraction of Quality of the fit is judged by examining the confidence level and pull distributions. Every diagonal element of the covariance matrix has a pull value associated with it. Systematics affect pull means (µ s), errors contained in the covariance matrix affect pull widths (σ s) and the slope of confidence level plots.

Correction factor and pulls binning: 7 bins in θlab ( θlab 7 ), 8 bins in φlab 6 bins in momentum (.2 GeV p.7 GeV) Tagger Sag Occurs due to a physical sagging of the support structure for Tagger Hodoscope.

47 Summary Theory and Motivation Extraction of Hadrons form the basis of most matter. These hadrons are systems containing quarks and gluons. Through the study of these systems when excited, the internal dynamics of the hadron may be demystified. Polarization observables are sensitive to these dynamics. Measured for γp p π + π : I c (first for a two-charged-pion final state) I s (first for a two-pion final state) These observable measurements as well as future measurements will aid in the refinement of CQMs as well aid in the revelation of the internal dynamics of the baryon. The FROST experiment will provide access to all 5 observables for a double-meson final state. Charles Hanretty (FSU) Measurement of I s and I c for γp p π + π October 3, 2 47 / 58
