The H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
The forward proton spectrometer is part of the H1 detector at the HERA collider. Protons with energies above 500 GeV and polar angles below 1 mrad can be detected by this spectrometer. The main detector components are scintillating fiber detectors read out by position-sensitive photo-multipliers. These detectors are housed in so-called Roman Pots which allow them to be moved close to the circulating proton beam. Four Roman Pot stations are located at distances between 60 m and 90 m from the interaction point. PACS: 29.30.Aj, 29.40.Gx

Status 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...
متن کاملProposal for a Very Forward Proton Spectrometer in H1 after 2000
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 کاملDiffraction 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 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 کاملForward jet production at HERA
Forward jet and particle cross sections have been measured in lepton-proton collisions by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA. Parton evolution schemes are tested by requiring a forward jet or particle with E T ∼ Q 2 or a forward jet plus a central dijet system. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading order QCD predictions and various QCD-based Monte Carlo models.
