Upgrade? Fermilab E835 Charmonium

E835 is an experiment which continues the study of charmonium. The predecessor experiment, E760, took data during the Fermilab Fixed Target run on 1990-91. Since the last data taking much analysis, writing of papers, development of new detector subsystems, upgrades to exisiting subsytems and preparations for the 1996-97 Fermilab Fixed Target run kept the collaboration busy. Data taking began in October 1996.

A charm quark and an anti-charm anti-quark bound together by the strong force makes a charmonium meson. Different combinations of quantum numbers (e.g. spin and angular momentum) of the two bound constituents form different charmonium particle states. The study of the different states' masses, resonance widths and decay channels increases what is know about the strong force and tests many different theories concerning the strong interaction.
