The Performance of the Barrel CRID at the SLD; Long-term Operational Experience
The Barrel CRID detector has been operating successfully at SLD for the past 7 years. It is an important tool for SLD physics analyses. We report results based on long term operational experience of a number of important quantities such as the Cherenkov quality factor, No, of the device, fluid transparency, electron lifetime, single electron detection efficiency, anode wire ageing,TMAE purity, ...
متن کاملSingle Electron Detection in Quadruple-GEM Detector with Pad Readout
Using a system of four GEMs operating in tandem and coupled to pad readout, we have demonstrated the detection of single electrons in ethane at 1 bar. The paper presents measurements of single electron pulse height distributions, total gas gain measurement and calculation, pad-to-pad cross-talk, quenching capability, high rate capability, charging effects, etc. We describe the overall operation...
متن کاملSTRANGE MESON SPECTROSCOPY IN Km AND K$ AT 11 GeV/c AND CHERENKOV RING IMAGING AT SLD *
This thesis consists of two independent parts; development of Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (GRID) system and analysis of high-statistics data of strange meson reactions from the LASS spectrometer. Part I: The CIUD system is devoted to charged particle identification in the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) to study e+ecollisions at ,/Z = mzo. By measuring the angles of emission of the Cherenkov phot...
متن کاملExtrapolating Experience Gained with the Sld Detector to Higher Energy And/or Luminosity
The operation of the SLD detector at the SLC, the only existing high energy linear col-lider, is a good place to address the question of the feasibility of operating a sophisticated cylindrical geometry detector in a high energy and/or luminosity environment. Performance aspects of the SLD relevant to this question are presented, along with a qualitative discussion about the extrapolation to hi...
متن کاملStrange Particle Production and s - quark Asymmetry
Using hadronic 2° decays recorded by the SLD experiment at SLAC, we have studied the production of strange particles as a function of momentum. A high-purity sample of K ~ was tagged using Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector(CRID). The #, A and K. were reconstructed in the K+ K-, pm and ~+ T – modes respectively, and CRID identification of K+ and p was used to obtain pure samples of@ and A. We have...
