Physics Case
The installation of WASA-at-COSY has significantly enlarged the possibilities of the COSY facility. In the following, major physics questions are briefly described that are addressed with WASA-at-COSY key experiments.
- Symmetries and symmetry breaking
- Dynamical isospin breaking
- Isospin violating mixing of scalar mesons
- Decays of η and η'
- Hadron Structure
- Spectroscopy
- Transition Form Factors
- Hadron Dynamics
The primary physics program of WASA-at-COSY is described in the general WASA-at-COSY proposal submitted to the COSY-PAC II/2004.
