نویسنده

  • J. D. BJORKEN
چکیده

A small test/experiment has been performed at the Fermilab Collider to measure charged particle and photon multiplicities in the forward direction, 4:1. The primary goal is to search for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC). The experiment and analysis methods are described, and preliminary results of the DCC search are presented.

(minimax): a Search for Disoriented Chiral Condensate at the Fermilab Collider

In this talk I will describe the status of a small test/experiment (T864 (MiniMax)) designed to search for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) and performed over the last three years at the TeVatron collider. The origins of MiniMax go back earlier to an initiative designed to provide the SSC with a fullacceptance detector (FAD). 1 During the associated workshop activity, it was acutely realized...

In order to analyze data on joint charged-particle/photon distributions from an experimental search (T-864, MiniMax) for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we have identified robust observables, ratios of normalized bivariate factorial moments, with many desirable properties. These include insensitivity to many efficiency corrections and the details of the mo...

Preliminary Results from a Search for Disoriented Chiral Condensates at Minimax

We report on the progress of a search for disoriented chiral condensates (DCCs) in the far forward region at √ s = 1.8 TeV . MiniMax is a small collider experiment situated at the C0 interaction region of the Tevatron and has been designed to measure the ratio of charged to neutral pions produced at η ≈ 4.1. The distribution of this ratio is expected to be very different for the generic binomia...

A DISORIENTED CHIRAL CONDENSATE SEARCH AT THE FERMILAB TEVATRON by MARY

by MARY ELIZABETH CONVERY MiniMax (Fermilab T-864) was a small test/experiment at the Tevatron designed to search for disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) in the forward direction. Relativistic quantum field theory treats the vacuum as a medium, with bulk properties characterized by long-range order parameters. This has led to suggestions that regions of " disoriented vacuum " might be formed i...
