The photoproduction of $\omega$ mesons on LH_2, C and Nb has been studied for incident photon energies from 900 to 1300 MeV using the CB/TAPS detector at ELSA. The $\omega$ line shape does not show any significant difference between the…
Medium-energy electron beam-dump experiments provide an intense sources of secondary muons. These particles can be used to search for muon-coupling light dark scalars that may explain the $(g-2)_\mu$ anomaly. We applied this idea to SLAC…
We report on the measurement of spin density matrix elements of the $\Lambda(1520)$ in the photoproduction reaction $\gamma p\rightarrow \Lambda(1520)K^+$, via its subsequent decay to $K^{-}p$. The measurement was performed as part of the…
We have evaluated pseudoscalar and scalar neutral pion photoproduction in $\vec{\gamma}p\to\pi^0p$ and $\vec{\gamma}p\to a_0^0p$ above the resonance region and within Regge phenomenology. Our fit, including GlueX $\Sigma$ pseudoscalar…
