چکیده
Michael D. Sokoloff University of Cincinnati Daniel M. Kaplan Illinois Institute of Technology ABSTRACT We review the physics goals of an ultrahigh-statistics charm experiment and place them in the broader context of the community’s efforts to study the Standard Model and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, and we point out some of the experimental difficulties which must be overcome if these goals are to be met.

The Compass Experiment and the Measurement of the Gluon Polarisation
COMPASS, a new fixed target experiment at CERN, aimed at the study of nucleon spin structure and hadron spectroscopy, has started to collect physics data in Autumn 2001. This paper describes the COMPASS apparatus and the measurement of the gluon polarisation ∆G/G. The apparatus consists in a solid state polarised target and a two stage spectrometer with high resolution tracking, particle identi...
متن کاملCharm2000: a >10 8 -charm Experiment for the Turn of the Millennium *
I discuss the physics reach of a fixed-target charm experiment which can reconstruct >10 charm decays, three orders of magnitude beyond the largest extant sample. Such an experiment may run at Fermilab shortly after the Year 2000. In addition to “programmatic” charm physics such as spectroscopy, lifetimes, and tests of QCD, this “Charm2000” experiment will have significant sensitivity to new ph...
متن کاملCharm physics with the CHORUS experiment
High energy neutrino interactions induce charmed hadron production at the level of a few percent and therefore they constitute a powerful tool to study charm physics. The CHORUS experiment can profit of the extremely high spatial resolution of nuclear emulsions to identify and study the charm production and decay vertexes. This experiment is now analyzing the final data sample and publishing ne...
متن کاملThe BES - III experiment at the high luminosity Tau - Charm factory
In early 80’s, Chinese government decided to build an ee collider running at the tau-charm energy region, called BEPC, which is completed in 1989. The only detector at the machine is called Beijing spectrometer(BES). In mid 90’s, there has been a minor upgrade of the detector, which is then called BESII. Since then, hundreds of papers have been published on the international journals, some with...
متن کاملBackgrounds to 7 studies below charm threshold
Using DELCO data obtained at SPEAR, we evaluate the backgrounds to r+rdata samples below open charm threshold at the r-charm Factory (TcF). With a singletagging signature (electron and missing energy, Emiss), which is unique to the rcF, the backgrounds are found to be below 0.1%. 1 Requirements for future T data samples In order to make significant progress in r physics, future data samples mus...
