GW Data Analysis Center and Database Development
ORAL
Abstract
The Data Analysis Center (DAC) of the Institute for Nuclear Studies (formerly the Center for Nuclear Studies) at The George Washington University houses the SAID facility. It constitutes a dedicated center that joins experimental, theoretical, and phenomenological efforts to support the national physics program for a variety of reactions of import to nucleon-resonance phenomena and nuclear physics generally. A renaissance in light-hadron spectroscopy is underway as a continuous stream of precision polarization data issues from existing and planned precision electromagnetic facilities, including the coming Jefferson Lab 12-GeV upgrade. Additionally, neutron-proton scattering, the \textit{primary standard} in measurements involving neutron-induced nuclear reactions, is under continual analysis and refinement. Through the ongoing maintenance of SAID, the DAC is making significant progress in its program to enhance and expand the partial-wave analyses of fundamental two- and three-body reactions (pion-nucleon, gamma-nucleon, and nucleon-nucleon) by maintaining and augmenting the analysis codes and databases associated with these reactions. These efforts provide guidance to experimental groups both nationally and internationally.
