The Spectrometer System for Measuring ZEUS Luminosity at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
The upgrade of the HERA accelerator has provided much increased collider luminosity. In turn, the improvements have necessitated a new design for the ZEUS luminosity measurements. The intense synchrotron radiation field, as well as the high probability of a bremsstrahlung photon in each bunch crossing, posed new experimental constraints. In this report, we describe how these challenges were met with the ZEUS luminosity spectrometer system. The design, testing and commissioning of the device are described, and the results from the initial operational experience are reported.

Proposal for a Very Forward Proton Spectrometer in H1 after 2000
A new, very forward proton spectrometer (VFPS) with large acceptance is proposed to be installed in the proton beam of the H1 experiment after the luminosity upgrade in the year 2000. The spectrometer, located at 220 m downstream of the interaction point is based on the Roman Pot technique and consists of two stations situated in the cold section of the proton beam line. Physics motivations and...
متن کاملA Luminosity Spectrometer for the Zeus Experiment at Hera
The HERA luminosity upgrade is expected to generate two major problems in the current method of luminosity determination which is based on counting brehmsstrahlung photons: damage of the calorimeter monitor due to high primary synchrotron radiation and large multiple event (pile-up) corrections. The luminosity spectrometer presented in this talk, is a novel method that reduces the impact of the...
متن کاملCharm fragmentation and excited charm and charm-strange mesons at ZEUS
Charm hadrons were produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA providing a means to study charm hadronisation. During first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS collaboration accumulated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Measurements of the D, D, D and Λc production a with the HERA I data were used to determine...
متن کاملCharm Spectroscopy and Exotics at Zeus
Light and charmed mesons and baryons are produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA. During the first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS Collaboration accumulated a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Results on pentaquark searches, deuteron and antideuteron production and charmed-meson spectroscopy, obtained ...

The differential cross section dσ/dt for elastic ρ photoproduction, γp → ρp (ρ → π+π−), has been measured in ep interactions at HERA. The squared four-momentum exchanged at the proton vertex, t, has been determined directly by measuring the momentum of the scattered proton using the ZEUS Leading Proton Spectrometer (LPS), a large scale system of silicon micro-strip detectors operating close to ...
