PANDA PWA
Introduction
In the 90s of the last century high statistics experiments with fully
equipped 4π detectors have lead to a better insight in the spectrum of hadrons.
In particular the finding of crypto-exotic and JPC exotic states tremendously improved
the experimental situation in meson spectroscopy. All this was possible only
with sophisticated analysis methods like the decomposition of measured phase-space
distribution into partial waves and to express the partial waves in terms of complicated
dynamical functions.
This Wiki page represents the documentation of the PANDA Partial Wave Analysis software project
aiming to provide a flexible and experiment independent framework for performing all kinds of amplitude analysis.
