Exclusive Final States from Photon - Photon Collisions at Spear
Studies of exclusive final states produced by the two-photon process have been made at SPEAR by the Mark II and by the Crystal Ball Collaborations. region 500 MeV/c2 Measurements of r%rand x0x0 production in the mass < mx, < 2000 MeV/c2 are presented. These data include strong signals from the well-known f(1270) meson. The A2(1310) has been observed via its rr"n decay mode and its partial width...
متن کاملSPEAR III A Brighter Source at SSRL
By replacing the magnets and vacuum chamber for the 3 GeV SPEAR II storage ring, the natural emittance of the machine can be reduced from 130 to 18 nm-rad and the stored current can be raised from 100 to 200 mA with a 50 h lifetime. This configuration increases focused photon flux for insertion device beamlines by an order of magnitude and the photon brightness for future undulators would excee...
متن کاملOptimum Steering of Photon Beam Lines in SPEAR*
A common operational requirement for many synchrotron light sources is to maintain steered photon beamlines with minimum corrector strength values. To solve this problem for SPEAR, we employed the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) matrix-inversion technique to minimize corrector strengths while constraining the photon beamlines to remain on target. The result was a reduction in corrector stren...
متن کاملRadiative Corrections to Bremsstrahlung in Radiative Return
Radiating a photon from the initial state provides a useful tool for studying a range of low energy physics using a high-energy ee accelerator. Accurate results require careful calculation of the first order virtual photon corrections. We compare exact results for initial state radiative corrections, finding agreement to an order of 10 or better as a fraction of the Born cross-section for most ...
متن کاملQuadrupole Shunt Experiments at SPEAR*
As part of a program to align and stabilize the SPEAR storage ring, a switchable shunt resistor was installed on each quadrupole to bypass a small percentage of the magnet current. The impact of a quadrupole shunt is to move the electron beam orbit in proportion to the off-axis beam position at the quadrupole and to shift the betatron tune. Initially, quadrupole shunts in SPEAR were used to pos...
