A recoil detector for the measurement of antiproton-proton elastic scattering at angles close to 90◦
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and construction of a recoil detector for the measurement of recoil protons of antiproton-proton elastic scattering at scattering angles close to 90◦ are described. The performance of the recoil detector has been tested in the laboratory with radioactive sources and at COSY with proton beams by measuring proton-proton elastic scattering. The results of laboratory tests and commissioning with beam are presented. Excellent energy resolution and proper working performance of the recoil detector validate the conceptual design of the KOALA experiment at HESR to provide the cross section data needed to achieve a precise luminosity determination at the PANDA experiment.

Precision Measurements of Antiproton - ProtonForward Elastic Scattering
Diierential cross sections for pp elastic scattering have been measured for very small momentum transfers at six diierent incident antiproton momenta in the range 3.7 to 6.2 GeV/c by the detection of recoil protons at scattering angles close to 90. Forward scattering parameters T , b, and have been determined. For the-parameter, up to an order of magnitude higher level of precision has been ach...
متن کاملElastic Proton-proton and Proton-antiproton Scattering: Analysis of Complete Set of Helicity Amplitudes
The differential cross-sections are calculated for proton-proton and proton-antiproton elastic scattering using the phenomenological model based on the analytic parameterizations for global scattering parameters (total cross-section and ρ parameter), crossing symmetry and derivative relations. We confront our model predictions with experimental data in wide range of energy and momentum transfer...

Guided by the results of our analyzing-power measurements for p+d elastic scattering at 200 and 120 MeV,' we have designed and constructed two proton polarimeters for the IUCF high-energy beamlines. Each polarimeter contains four pairs of scintillators, where each pair consists of a thin AE paddle for the proton operated in coincidence with a stopping scintillator for the deuteron. The recoil d...

Features of high energy pp and pA elastic scattering at small t Abstract A method for the determination of the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude is examined for high energy proton-proton and proton-nuclei elastic scattering at small momentum transfer. This method allows us to decrease the number of model assumptions, to obtain the real parts of the spin-non-flip and spin-flip amplit...
