Crystals Application in the Totem Experiment to Increase the Acceptance of a Roman Pot∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Bent crystal may enhance the physics reach of a nearbeam physics detector in the CERN-LHC, by increasing the acceptance of scattered protons in low transverse momentum reactions. As an example we present simulations demonstrating the increase of the Roman Pot acceptance in the TOTEM apparatus. Starting from the MadX v6.5 collision optics, a crystal is placed at different longitudinal and transversal positions: for each scheme a gaussian beam of protons with different kinematic variables is created and tracked along the optical line with crystal. The number of protons with transversal coordinates greater than 10 σ + 0.5 mm, that is inside the Roman Pot, is compared with the total number of protons. The possible gain in acceptance is around 15− 20%.

Beam Coupling Impedance Measurement and Mitigation for a Totem Roman Pot
The longitudinal and transverse beam coupling impedance of the first final TOTEM Roman Pot unit has been measured in the laboratory with the wire method. For the evaluation of transverse impedance the wire position has been kept constant, and the insertions of the RP were moved asymmetrically. With the original configuration of the RP, resonances with fairly high Q values were observed. In orde...
متن کاملDiffraction and Total Cross-Section at the Tevatron and the LHC
At the Tevatron, the total pp̄ cross-section has been measured by CDF at 546GeV and 1.8 TeV, and by E710/E811 at 1.8 TeV. The two results at 1.8 TeV disagree by 2.6 standard deviations, introducing big uncertainties into extrapolations to higher energies. At the LHC, the TOTEM collaboration is preparing to resolve the ambiguity by measuring the total pp cross-section with a precision of about 1%...
