Measurement of Spin-Density Matrix Elements in ρ(770) Production with a Linearly Polarized Photon Beam at E_γ= 8.2\,-\,8.8\,\text{GeV}

The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab studies photoproduction of mesons using linearly polarized 8.5\,\text{GeV} photons impinging on a hydrogen target which is contained within a detector with near-complete coverage for charged and neutral particles. We present measurements of spin-density matrix elements for the photoproduction of the vector meson \rho(770). The... Show more
