Construction and Expected Performance of the Hadron Blind Detector for the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
A new Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) for electron identification in high density hadron environment has been installed in the PHENIX detector at RHIC in the fall of 2006. The HBD will identify low momentum electron-positron pairs to reduce the combinatorial background in the ee mass spectrum, mainly in the lowmass region below 1 GeV/c. The HBD is a windowless proximity-focusing Cherenkov detector ...
متن کاملProposal for a Hadron Blind Detector for PHENIX
A Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) is proposed as upgrade of the PHENIX detector at RHIC, BNL. The HBD will allow the measurement of low-mass ee pairs from the decay of the light vector mesons ρ, ω, φ and the low-mass continuum in Au-Au collisions at energies up to √ sNN= 200 GeV . From MC simulations and general considerations, the HBD has to identify electrons with very high efficiency (> 90%), do...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
0 Design , construction , and operation of SciFi tracking detector for K 2 K experiment
We describe the construction and performance of a scintillating fiber detector used in the near detector for the K2K (KEK to Kamioka, KEK E362) long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The detector uses 3.7 m long and 0.692 mm diameter scintillating fiber coupled to image-intensifier tubes (IIT), and a CCD camera readout system. Fiber sheet production and detector construction began in 19...
متن کاملHigh pT Direct Photon-Hadron Correlations Using the PHENIX Detector
Jet tomography, the study of differential energy loss of hard scattered partons to infer the density profile of the medium, is greatly improved by precise knowledge of the initial energy of the hard probe. As photons are not strongly interacting, the momentum of the recoil jet from a direct photon trigger is balanced, to a good approximation, by the momentum of the photon. The energy loss of th...
