A Luminosity Spectrometer for the Zeus Experiment at Hera
نویسنده
چکیده
The HERA luminosity upgrade is expected to generate two major problems in the current method of luminosity determination which is based on counting brehmsstrahlung photons: damage of the calorimeter monitor due to high primary synchrotron radiation and large multiple event (pile-up) corrections. The luminosity spectrometer presented in this talk, is a novel method that reduces the impact of these problems in the luminosity measurement and is expected to yield a total systematic uncertainty of 1.4%. The spectrometer counts brehmsstrahlung photon conversions in the beam pipe exit window using two small calorimeters (former ZEUS beam pipe calorimeters) symmetrically placed away from the synchrotron radiation plane. The photon conversion rate is measured by counting electron-positron (ep) coincidences in the calorimeters. The ep acceptance is measured using a third calorimeter (6 meter tagger) which tags the brehmsstrahlung electrons. The electron-positron pair is separated by a small dipole magnet.

The Spectrometer System for Measuring ZEUS Luminosity at HERA
The upgrade of the HERA accelerator has provided much increased collider luminosity. In turn, the improvements have necessitated a new design for the ZEUS luminosity measurements. The intense synchrotron radiation field, as well as the high probability of a bremsstrahlung photon in each bunch crossing, posed new experimental constraints. In this report, we describe how these challenges were met...
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 کاملNew measurement of charge asymmetry xF3 from HERA
HERA was a collider, located at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, with the capablility to scatter (polarised) electrons and positrons off protons, at a center of mass energy, √ s, of about 320 GeV. The first HERA data were taken in summer 1992. It ceased operations in June 2007. The total luminosity collected by both experiments H1 and ZEUS is ∼ 0.9 fb−1. The core results of HERA (with H1 and ZEU...
متن کاملSearch for Single-top Production with the Zeus Detector at Hera
A search for anomalous single-top production, ep → etX, t → Wb, has been made with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 130 pb. No evidence for top-quark production was found in either the leptonic or the hadronic decay channel of the W boson. The resulting constraints on single-top production via quark-flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions exclude a substan...

A brief overview is given on the physics and future lepton-nucleon collider facilities to explore the domain of high parton densities at low Bjorken x, with HERA, the electron-ion collider (EIC) and with THERA-in ep, polarised − → e − → N and eA mode. The only existing lepton-nucleon collider which accesses the region of low Bjorken x is HERA. During 2001 the detectors were upgraded and the mac...
