Manpower

Faculty

• Prof. Bill Briscoe, 40% of research time on JEF/GlueX, 30% on CLAS, 10% on MUSE, 10% on Mainz.
• Prof. Axel Schmidt, 25% of research time on GlueX, 45% on CLAS, and 30% on Hall C.
• Prof. Igor Strakovsky, 35% of research time on GlueX and 35% on KLF, 20% on CLAS, in particular, FROST data analyses, and 10% on PWAs and SAID DB support.

Physics Interests

1. Meson photoproduction, particularly the pi0, eta, eta’, a0(980) above resonance regime.
2. Omega-baryon photoproduction.
3. J/psi photoproduction at the threshold.
4. Short-range correlations.
5. Eta' decay.

Disclosure of Other Research Activities

Profs. Briscoe, Schmidt, and Strakovsky also work on the GlueX, CLAS, and SRC Collaborations studying baryon and meson spectroscopy and short-range correlations. However, because the production mechanisms and decay channels are different, there does not seem to be a conflict of interest with the ongoing work in the KLF Collaboration.
