7 Physics with the TPC / Zy Detector at PEP
نویسنده
چکیده
The TPC/27 detector and the PEP machine have been upgraded for highluminosity running. We describe the performance of the new configuration during a test run in fall 1988. Prospects for progress in 7 physics, based on a large data sample to be recorded by the TPC/Zy detector, are reviewed.

Energy Loss Measurements in the Pep Tpc*
The PEP TPC' is a cylinder two meters long with a radius of one meter filled with argon mixed with 20% methane. The TPC can operate at pressures from one to 10 atmospheres. When a particle traverses the TPC, the electrons liberated by ionization drift parallel to the cylinder axis (z-axis) at about 5 cm per microsecond. lhe detector plane at each end is divided into six sectors, each of which h...
متن کاملThe liquid Argon TPC: a powerful detector for future neutrino experiments and proton decay searches
We discuss the possibility of new generation neutrino and astroparticle physics experiments exploiting the liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) technique, following a graded strategy that envisions applications with increasing detector masses (from 100 ton to 100 kton). The ICARUS R&D program has already demonstrated that the technology is mature with the test of the T600 detector at ...

BABAR refers to the detector that is being designed for the PEP II B-Factory at SLAC to perform a comprehensive study of CP violation in B meson decays. The design requirements and the principal detector components are briefly described. A summary of the expected physics performance is presented.
متن کاملMeasurement of αs in e + e − Annihilation at Ecm = 29 GeV 1 TPC / Two - Gamma Collaboration
A measurement of the strong coupling constant αs using the event-shape variable y3 (the differential two-jet rate) in the reaction e+e− → hadrons is presented. The analysis is based on data from the TPC/Two-Gamma detector at the PEP e+e− storage ring taken between 1984 and 1986 at a center-of-mass energy of Ecm = 29 GeV. A value of αs(29 GeV) = 0.160 ± 0.012 is obtained, where the error is the ...
متن کاملPep-ii Status and Future Plans*
The PEP-II B-Factory at SLAC has reached a luminosity of 4.6x10/cm/s and has delivered 94 fb of data to the BaBar physics detector by the end of May 2002. PEP-II has delivered over 309 pb in 24 hours and over 6.35 fb in one month. The accelerator physics issues for these performance levels include electron cloud, beam-beam effects, parasitic beam-beam collisions, and RF beam loading. Upgrades t...
