Experiments needed in Meson and Baryon Spectroscopy
Abstract
Three (or four) straightforward experiments would contribute greatly to completing the spectroscopy of baryons and light mesons. In the baryon sector, data are needed on inelastic reactions from a polarised target with pi and kaon beams up to 3 GeV/c. Similar data are needed in the light meson sector for pbar-p interactions in the momentum range 0.3 to 2 GeV/c. In both cases, valuable information is to be obtained from longitudinal (L) and sideways (S) target polarisations as well as the conventional normal (N) polarisation. Thirdly, 3S_1 and 3D_1 mesons in the mass range 1 to 2.4 GeV/c could probably be separated either by diffractive dissociation of transversely polarised photons or by radiative return experiments using transversely and longitudinally polarised electrons.
