2 A Very Forward Proton Spectrometer for H 1 1 Pierre
نویسنده
چکیده
A new, very forward, proton spectrometer with large acceptance will be installed in the proton beam line of the H1 experiment in 2003. The spectrometer, located 220 m downstream of the interaction point, is based on the Roman Pot technique and consists of two stations in the cold section of the proton beam line. A brief description of this new device and expected physics results are presented.

Diffraction at HERA and Prospects with H 1 ∗
After the tremendous progress achieved at HERA in the field of diffraction, a new level of statistical and systematic precision is needed. H1 will install a very forward proton spectrometer in the cold section of HERA, with ≃ 100 % acceptance down to |t| = 0 for xIP = 0.01. Large statistics of data, in particular in the presence of a hard scale, will be collected with unambiguous proton tagging...
متن کاملStatus of the H1 Very Forward Proton Spectrometer
The Very Forward Proton Spectrometer (VFPS) of the H1 experiment at HERA is collecting data since 2005. The fiber detectors in the Roman pots located at 218 and 222m downstream from the H1 interaction point, tag and measure diffractively scattered protons with a high acceptance in the xIP range [0.01, 0.025]. The experimental set up and the spectrometer tagging performance using diffractive eve...

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 کاملMeasurement of the Elastic ρ-meson Photoproduction Cross Section using the Forward Proton Spectrometer at the H1 Detector at HERA DISSERTATION
A measurement of the elastic ρ-meson photoproduction cross section is presented. The data are collected by the H1 experiment in scattering of electrons off protons at the HERA collider in January–April 1999. In the current analysis the absolute value of the proton momentum transfer at the proton vertex |t| is measured by the horizontal stations of the Forward Proton Spectrometer (FPS) which hav...
متن کاملPion Exchange and the H 1 Forward Spectrometer Data
We point out that the ∆π component of the nucleon wave function is vital to the interpretation of the recent H1 data for leading baryon production. While the n/p ratio is equal to two with the N π component alone, the inclusion of the ∆π component brings this ratio very near to unity, as observed in the experiment. This result demonstrates that pion exchange can not only account for leading neu...
