Energy Calibration for the Forward Detector at WASA-at-COSY

Studies on rare and forbidden decays of light mesons are one main aspect of the WASA-at-COSY physics program. In this context a large data set for η mesons has been produced in the proton-proton scattering in order to investigate the decay properties of this meson. This high statistic measurement a...
