Hybrid Calorimeter Algorithm Development for Primex Experiment
Description:
The PrimEx Collaboration seeks to measure the lifetime of the 0 meson (neutral pion) at high precision. The decay rate of the pion is considered to be the most fundamental prediction of low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Pions will be produced by the Primakoff Effect: a few GeV photon interacts with the coulomb field of a nucleus to produce a pion. The pion then decays almost immediately ({approx}10-16 seconds) into two photons. The decay photons will be detected by an electromagnetic hyb…
