MesonNet is a research network within EU HadronPhysics3 project. The
main objective is the coordination of light meson studies at different
European accelerator research facilities: COSY (Jülich), DAPHNE
(Frascati), ELSA (Bonn), GSI (Darmstadt) and MAMI (Mainz). The
network includes also EU researchers carrying out experiments at
VEPP-2000 (BINP), CEBAF (JLAB) and heavy flavor-factories (Babar,
Belle II, BESIII experiments).
The scope are processes involving lightest neutral mesons: π0, η, ω,
η', φ and the lightest scalar resonances. The emphasis is on meson
decay studies but we include also meson production processes and meson
baryon interactions. The majority of the participants of the network
are experimentalists while close collaboration with theory groups is
essential for the planning of experiments and the interpretation of
the data.
