SLAC - PUB - 7358 November 1996 PHYSICS PROSPECTS FOR THE SLAC B - FACTORY

I . . SLAC - PUB - 7352 November 1996 Radiation Aspects of the B - Factory at SLAC

The B-Factory is a high-energy physics project at SLAC that studies the phenomenon of CP violation from collisions between two stored beams; high energy electrons (HER, maximum 12-GeV) and low energy positrons (LER, maximum 4-GeV). Both the HER and LER are located in an underground tunnel of 2200-m-long circumference with a maximum stored current of 3 A. '-The injector consists of the existing ...

SLAC B Factory Computing

As part of the research and development program in preparation for a possible B Factory at SLAC, a group has been studying various aspects of HEP computing. In particular, the group is investigating the use of UNIX for all computing, from data acquisition, through analysis, and word processing. A summary of some of the results of this study will be given, along with some personal opinions on th...

SLAC – PUB – 7371 ILL – TH – 96 – 10 SCIPP 96 / 56 UCRHEP – E 180 hep - ex / 9612012 December 1996 Prospects for the Precision Measurement

The prospects for the measurement of the strong coupling constant MS (MZ) to a relative uncertainty of 1% are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the implications relating to future High Energy Physics facilities. To be published in Proceedings of the 1996 DPF/DPB Summer Study on New Directions for High-Energy Physics (Snowmass 96) This work has been supported in part by the Sloan Found...

SLAC -PUB-240 November 1966 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGH ENERGY ELECTRON-POSITRON STORAGE RINGS*

Slac-pub-12886 Α and Β at the B Factories

We review recent experimental results on time-dependent CP asymmetries in the B system from the BABAR and Belle experiments. Measurements of the α and β angles of the Unitarity Triangle of the CKM matrix are discussed. These measurements constitute stringent tests of the Standard Model, and are also used to search for new physics. SLAC-PUB-12886 03/05/2006--3/12/2006, La Thuile, Aosta Valley, I...
