The Optical Alignment System of the ZEUS MicroVertex Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The laser alignment system of the ZEUS microvertex detector is described. The detector was installed in 2001 as part of an upgrade programme in preparation for the second phase of electron-proton physics at the HERA collider. The alignment system monitors the position of the vertex detector support structure with respect to the central tracking detector using semi-transparent amorphous-silicon sensors and diode lasers. The system is fully integrated into the general environmental monitoring of the ZEUS detector and data has been collected over a period of 5 years. The primary aim of defining periods of stability for track-based alignment has been achieved and the system is able to measure movements of the support structure to a precision around 10μm.

Heavy quarks at HERA with lifetime tag
Two preliminary measurements of beauty production in events with two jets at HERA are presented. The first exploits the new ZEUS microvertex detector to measure the b content of a sample of events with two jets and a muon. The second is a measurement by the H1 collaboration based on inclusive lifetime tagging. The results are in agreement with previous measurements and with QCD predictions. ¡ S...
متن کاملThe OPAL Silicon Strip Microvertex Detector with Two Coordinate Readout
The OPAL experiment at the CERN LEP collider recently upgraded its silicon strip microvertex detector from one coordinate readout ( only) to two coordinate readout ( and z). This allows three dimensional vertex reconstruction and should improve lifetime measurements as well as b quark jet identi cation. This paper describes the new microvertex detector system with emphasis on the novel techniqu...

متن کاملAnalysis of New Laser Warning Technologies to Propose a New Optical Subsystem
In this paper, after a brief overview on laser warning system (LWS), a new structure for an optical array that is used in its optical subsystem is introduced. According to the laser threats’ wavelengths (0.5 – 1.6 µm) and our desirable field of view (FOV), we used 6 lenses for gathering the incident radiation and then optimized the optical array. Lenses’ radius, their se...
