\section{Research plan}

A timeline is presented here for the activities discussed above based 
on the assumptions that the proposed award will be funded at the 
requested level and that the accelerator schedule at JLab will proceed as planned.
While this plan represents a ``good faith'' estimate of the schedule
for the funding period, major unscheduled downtime at JLab or budget reductions may
push events beyond the timeline discussed here.
Regardless, our entire effort is dedicated to this proposal,
and work will proceed as rapidly as practical.

{\it{During Year 1}}, 
additional data will be taken with both Halls B and D.
In addition to normal service responsibilities expected of collaborations
in both the CLAS and GlueX Collaborations,
we will continue our responsibility for polarization characterization in Hall D.
An upgrade for the triplet polarimeter is scheduled for the Summer 2019. 
Developments related to the polarization measurement work with the
University of Glasgow should result in tests of the devices developed
for Mainz during the first year of the award, 
with a possible additional installation for testing purposes in Hall D.
The PI will have finished the first
pass at uncovering existing and new $\Xi$ states, and 
a second graduate student funded by the new award
will start pursuing Hall B cascade production. 
The data collected from Hall D will be the first production data from that
hall to include the DIRC.
Mentored by the Co-Investigator, ASU Graduate Research Associate Sebastian Cole 
will finish his analysis regarding the isolation
of $\eta_1^{\prime} \rightarrow K^{*} K$ candidates, including background subtractions, 
determination of cross sections and beam asymmetries using all non-DIRC data available.
The Cole analysis will form the basis of future ASU analyses for that reaction;
those studies will form his dissertation project. 
By the end of the first year of the award period, Sebastian Cole will have received his Ph.D.

{\it{During Year 2}},
all data for the physics discussed in Section~\ref{sec:overview}
will be in hand and under full analysis.
A new graduate student (replacing Sebastian Cole) will have started modifying the
analysis developed by Cole to include the newly obtained and calibrated DIRC data
from Hall D.
The Hall B analyses related to cascade production
should be well underway, with preliminary data presented at
workshops and meetings.

{\it{During Year 3}}, the analysis of $\Xi$ states from Hall B should be 
nearing completion, and the ASU graduate student related to that project will 
have begun assisting in the $\Omega^-$ search.
The Hall-D search for the $\eta_1^{\prime}$, including all DIRC and non-DIRC data, 
will be undergoing partial wave analysis (PWA) using the mature and robust PWA tools developed
by the GlueX Collaboration; the graduate student 
by this award (who replaced Cole) will be fully engaged in that work.
Opportunistic physics analyses likely will present themselves
as these analyses proceed, which may spawn projects for
undergraduate and graduates students.
As analyses progress,  preliminary data will be presented at
workshops and meetings.
%We will be deeply engaged in multiple analyses from both Hall B and GlueX running,
%will have mature software tools for analyzing data from those facilities,
%and be able to fold additional students into the ASU efforts.
