We report measurements of the photon beam asymmetry Σ for the reactions γp → pπ 0 and γp → pη from the GLUEX experiment using a 9 GeV linearly-polarized, tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Jefferson Lab's Hall D. The asymmetries, measured as a function of the proton momentum transfer, possess greater precision than previous π 0 measurements and are the first η measurements in this energy regime. The results are compared with theoretical predictions based on t-channel, quasi-particle exchange and constrain the axial-vector component of the neutral meson production mechanism in these models.

“…The term c /E results from noise and pileup in high-rate environments. Measurements of an early full-length prototype 3 using a photon beam [11] provided expectations for the various contributions to the resolution: a ≈ 5.4% √ GeV, b ≈ 2.3% and c negligible. The azimuthal angular resolution is dominated by the readout granularity in azimuth, which is about 2 cm.…”

The barrel calorimeter is part of the new spectrometer installed in Hall D at Jefferson Lab for the GlueX experiment. The calorimeter was installed in 2013, commissioned in 2014 and has been operating routinely since early 2015. The detector configuration, associated Monte Carlo simulations, calibration and operational performance are described herein. The calorimeter records the time and energy deposited by charged and neutral particles created by a multi-GeV photon beam. It is constructed as a lead and scintillating-fiber calorimeter and read out with 3840 large-area silicon photomultiplier arrays. Particles impinge on the detector over a wide range of angles, from normal incidence at 90 degrees down to 11.5 degrees, which defines a geometry that is fairly unique among calorimeters. The response of the calorimeter has been measured during a running experiment and performs as expected for electromagnetic showers below 2.5 GeV. We characterize the performance of the BCAL using the energy resolution integrated over typical angular distributions for π 0 and η production of σ E /E=5.2%/ E(GeV)⊕ 3.6% and a timing resolution of σ = 150 ps at 1 GeV.
