Description
The JPAC frequentist approach to the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow J/\psi p$ has led to an interesting discussion of possible interesting phenomena occurring in 2C and non-resonant 3C channels seen in cusps in the cross section versus energy diagrams. However, the frequentist approach involves complications during the uncertainty discussion, so we endeavor to apply Bayesian statistic approaches to this problem to expand upon the conclusions of Winney et al.
I endeavor to undertake a feasibility analysis on a rare process which could shed light into the structure of the proton by connecting observables to the dependent components of the generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Many experiments have undertaken the same goals, including CLAS and other experiments run in Halls A and C at JLab, but GlueX has not delved deeply into this particular problem due to the presence of a photon beam at GlueX. Looking into these rare processes requires very high momentum transfer to probe the structure of the proton, and in Halls A and C that momentum transfer has come from the electron beam and proton target interaction. To investigate the GPDs x-dependence, we must use single diffractive hard exclusive process (SDHEP), which gives more constraints on the x-dependence than other approaches."
