چکیده
A measurement of the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at HERA utilizing coherent interactions of high energy photons in crystals is described. Modii-cation of existing facilities would allow an independent polarization measurement and a veriication of birefringence phenomena in crystals for 20{30 GeV photons. Relevant experimental issues and systematic uncertainties are also presented.

متن کاملElectron polarization measurement using a Fabry-Pérot cavity at HERA
A new Compton longitudinal polarimeter currently under construction for HERA is presented. The key component of the polarimeter is a Fabry-Pérot cavity located around the electron beam pipe. With such an optical cavity, a continuous laser power equivalent to 5 kW, much higher than those commercially available, can be achieved, leading to one backscattered photon per bunch crossing. This “few-ph...
متن کاملAccessing directly the strange quark content of the proton at HERA
We investigate a double-spin asymmetry for the semi-inclusive Λ hyperon production in the longitudinally deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering, the sign of which can provide us with important information about the strange quark helicity distribution in the proton. On the basis of the interpretation of the longitudinal deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering data as a negative strange quark p...
متن کاملThe HERMES Polarized Hydrogen and Deuterium Gas Target in the HERA Electron Storage Ring
The HERMES hydrogen and deuterium nuclear-polarized gas targets have been in use since 1996 with the polarized electron beam of HERA at DESY to study the spin structure of the nucleon. Polarized atoms from a Stern-Gerlach Atomic Beam Source are injected into a storage cell internal to the HERA electron ring. Atoms diffusing from the center of the storage cell into a side tube are analyzed to de...
متن کاملError Analysis, Design and Modeling of an Improved Heterodyne Nano-Displacement Interferometer
A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...
