\noindent{\it{Metrics that are common to each year:}}
\vspace{-5pt}
\begin{packed_item}
  \item TPOL (GlueX)
    \vspace{-5pt}
  \begin{packed_item}
     \item Provide polarization values for data taken during previous year
  \end{packed_item}
  \item Search for strangeness (CLAS12)
    \vspace{-5pt}
%  \begin{itemize}
  \begin{packed_item}
     \item The PI will continue to assist in analysis issues that arise
      regarding strangeness production using CLAS12. 
%and will help coordinate the efforts of the Very Strange Group.
     \item Undergraduate students will obtain experience in analyzing nuclear physics data by
     reconstructing various strangeness states.
  \end{packed_item}
\end{packed_item}
\vspace{-5pt}
\noindent{\it{Metrics specific to year 1:}}
\vspace{-5pt}
\begin{packed_item}
  \item Meson resonance analysis (GlueX)
    \vspace{-5pt}
     \begin{packed_item}
        \item Alan Gardner will improve the PWA results by constraining the fits over the mass spectrum through 
          Breit-Wigner signals along with background functions (currently mass fitting is performed after the PWA 
          extraction of definite $J$ states).
        \item Alan Gardner will extend the fit range to include masses up to 2 GeV.
     \end{packed_item}
  \item Cascade analysis (GlueX)
    \vspace{-5pt}
     \begin{packed_item}
        \item Graduate Student number 2 (GS2) will have begun working with the ASU Meson Physics Group by
          becoming familiar with, and continuing the work of (then graduated PhD student) Brandon Sumner.
     \end{packed_item}
\end{packed_item}
\vspace{-5pt}
\noindent{\it{Metrics specific to year 2:}}
\vspace{-5pt}
\begin{packed_item}
  \item Meson resonance analysis (GlueX)
    \vspace{-5pt}
     \begin{packed_item}
        \item Alan Gardner will have pushed his PWA to include mass states as far above 2 GeV as is reasonably possible.
\item Alan Gardner will provide his prospectus and successfully complete all other
              requirements to obtain the status of PhD candidate at Arizona State University.
     \end{packed_item}
  \item Cascade analysis (GlueX and CLAS12)
    \vspace{-5pt}
     \begin{packed_item}
       \item GS2 will extend the $\Xi^*$ PWA to include constraints over multiple decay branches 
       \item GS2 and the PI will start exploring the excited cascade states present in CLAS12 data with an eye towards
          creating a combining analysis of CLAS12 (electroproduction) and GlueX (photoproduction) data for 
          signal that may be too weak to extract when using only one of the production types. 
     \end{packed_item}
\end{packed_item}
\vspace{-5pt}
\noindent{\it{Metrics specific to year 3:}}
\vspace{-5pt}
\begin{packed_item}
\item Meson resonance analysis (GlueX)
  \vspace{-5pt}
  \begin{packed_item}
  \item We will finish our work on the exploration of meson 
    resonances with $K^+$ $K^-$ $\pi^0$ decay products      
  \item Alan Gardner will provide the GlueX collaboration with 
    an analysis note regarding his studies and, ideally, lead 
    in the publication of the results.                                                                       
  \item Alan Gardner will have successfully defended his dissertation 
    and will have received his Ph.D.       
  \end{packed_item}     
\item Cascade analysis (GlueX and CLAS12) 
  \vspace{-5pt}
     \begin{packed_item}
       \item GS2 will measure as many branching ratios and other physical parameters related to $\Xi^*$ states as is reasonably possible.
       \item GS2 will extend the $\Xi^*$ PWA to include constraints needed to couple photoproduction data to 
         electroproduction data for any signals that are too small to be extracted within a single production type.
     \end{packed_item}
