High energy physics at the University of Iowa
Abstract
High-energy-physics research is now well established at the University of Iowa. Currently, major research efforts are being carried out in three main areas. First, E. R. McCliment and C. R. Newsom are engaged in two Fermilab experiments, E761, to study nonleptonic radiative decay of {Sigma}{sup +} and {Xi}{sup {minus}} hyperons and E781 to study charmed baryon production and decay. E761 will run in the next fixed target run scheduled to begin in December, 1989, and a test of E781 will run parasitically with E761. Next, Y. Onel is heavily involved in two experiments, E704 and E683, also at Fermilab, to study polarization effects in hadronic interactions and high-energy photoproduction, respectively. Both of these experiments will run successively in the next fixed target run. Finally, U. Mallik is continuing her study of charm physics with the MARK III collaboration at SLAC. Since Nov. 1988, UM has also become heavily involved in the ZEUS collaboration. This past year has seen significant progress in all these areas.
