My research involves the study if hadrons, i.e., particles that contain quarks. My principal research involves the proposed KLong Facility (KLF) experiment at Jefferson Lab. KLF will study the scattering of neutral kaons off a liquid hydrogen target with the goal of finding particles that are predicted by models, but have yet to be found. My current role is to work on the simulation of the Λ baryon channel.
My secondary research deals with the study of the production of the a0(980) meson in the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab. This meson is created from the collision of the photon beam and the liquid hydrogen target. a0(980) meson is thought to be a tetraquark, but its properties are not well known. My work is to perform a beam asymmetry of the production of this meson, based upon the different polarization directions of the photon beam, and compare the results to theoretical models.
