We propose to create a secondary beam of neutral kaons in Hall D at Jefferson Lab to be used with the GlueX experimental setup for strange hadron spectroscopy. A flux on the order of 3 x 10^4 KL/s will allow a broad range of measurements to be made by improving the statistics of previous data obtained on hydrogen targets by three orders of magnitude. Use of a deuteron target will provide first measurements on the neutron which is {\it terra incognita}. The experiment will measure both differential cross sections and self-analyzed polarizations of the produced {\Lambda}, {\Sigma}, {\Xi}, and {\Omega} hyperons using the GlueX detector at the Jefferson Lab Hall D. The measurements will span c.m. cos{\theta} from -0.95 to 0.95 in the c.m. range above W = 1490 MeV and up to 3500 MeV. These new GlueX data will greatly constrain partial-wave analyses and reduce model-dependent uncertainties in the extraction of strange resonance properties (including pole positions), and provide a new benchmark for comparisons with QCD-inspired models and lattice QCD calculations. The proposed facility will also have an impact in the strange meson sector by providing measurements of the final-state K{\pi} system from threshold up to 2 GeV invariant mass to establish and improve on the pole positions and widths of all K*(K{\pi}) P-wave states as well as for the S-wave scalar meson {\kappa}(800).

Poles of partial wave scattering matrices in hadron spectroscopy have recently been established as a sole link between experiment and QCD theories and models. Karlsruhe-Helsinki (KH) partial wave analyses have been ``above the line'' in the Review of Particle Physics (RPP) for over three decades. The RPP compiles Breit-Wigner (BW) parameters from local BW fits, but give only a limited number of pole positions using speed plots (SP). In the KH method only Mandelstam analyticity is used as a theoretical constraint, so these partial wave solutions are as model independent as possible. They are a valuable source of information. It is unsatisfactory that BW parameters given in the RPP have been obtained from the KH80 solution, while pole parameters have been obtained from the KA84 version. To remedy this, we have used a newly developed Laurent + Pietarinen expansion method to obtain pole positions for all partial waves for KH80 and KA84 solutions. We show that differences from pole parameters are, with a few exceptions, negligible for most partial waves. We give a full set of pole parameters for both solutions.

This paper refers to an experiment of SO2 absorption to the particles of sorbent CaCO3, the mass of sample was 100 g with fractional composition of 500-700μm and 1100-1300μm. During the experiment the temperature varied from 200 and 400°C. The aim of this experiment described in this paper, is to examine the influence of lower reaction temperature, the size of sorbent particles and reaction time to the degree of SO2 absorption and determining the degree of CaCO3 sorbent utilization. The results show that at the reaction temperature of approximately 200°C and average diameter of sorbent particles ≈600μm, the absorption degree of SO2 absorption to the particles of sorbent is between 42-66%. Reaching temperature of 400°C and with the same fractional composition of the sorbent, ≈600μm, the absorption degree of SO2 is slightly higher and it is somewhere around 45-78%. With greater diameters sorbent particle of ≈1200μm, absorption degree of SO2 is a bit lower. The determined degree of utilized sorbent CaCO3 is considerably lower and it reaches up to 6.87%. The acquired results indicate that besides CaO, Ca(OH)2 and CaMg(CO3)2 it is reasonable to inject the CaCO3 sorbent, in the areas of lower temperatures i.e. in the flue channel of the thermal power plant.
