A1. Spectroscopy of baryon resonances

R. Beck, U. Thoma

This project aims at a detailed understanding of the spectrum and the properties of baryon resonances being the bound states of strong QCD. With the Crystal Barrel / TAPS experiment at ELSA, the photoproduction of single- and multi-meson final states is investigated. Precise data for the extraction of resonance properties will be obtained by performing further single and double polarization experiments off the proton and the neutron. The experiments will use a circularly / linearly polarized photon beam and a longitudinally / transversely polarized target
