Todd Adams' Current Research

Topic

While working on BNL E852, my current research topic is the analysis of the f1 pi- final state in the 1-3-3-eta trigger mode. The f1 decays to an eta pi+ pi-. This is the work my thesis will be based on.

Progress

December 1995 - eta pi+ pi- pi- monte carlo generation mostly completed.
Summer 1995 - Data for f1 pi- collected and kinematic fitting done.
Spring 1995 - 1-3-3-eta data explored and f1 pi- found to be viable.

Presentations

This work was presented in preliminary form at Hadron 95 in Manchester, England by Jowd Dowd.
This work will be presented at the May APS meeting in Indianapolis by Todd Adams.: Beam Region Efficiency Studies; Studies of veto cuts on 1994 1-3-3 data; CsI calibration for 1994 run; Analysis of CsI for 1993 run

Techniques

Monte Carlo - generation and processing technique.
Monte Carlo (short version) - quick reference monte carlo steps
