Description

The meeting will focus on the ongoing analysis of the 2021 HPS data and the status of the 2019 calibration/alignment efforts. We will discuss progress in data analysis, both canonical A’ and SIMPs, MC generation, and the preparation of simulated samples for the physics analyses. We will review current results, discuss analysis strategies, and identify the main challenges and next steps. We will also discuss developments in three-track and low-momentum track reconstruction in detail and explore how they can improve our analysis capabilities.
