Neutrino factory R&D - a global perspective
J PHYS G NUCL PARTIC 29:8 (2003) 1537-1539
Abstract:
The current world status of plans for future particle-physics accelerators and accelerator research and development is outlined. The developments for a neutrino factory are placed in this context. Finally, a specific initiative relevant for Europe is discussed.Dijet angular distributions in photoproduction of charm at HERA
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 565:1-4 (2003) 87-101
Abstract:
Dijet angular distributions of photoproduction events in which a D*± meson is produced in association with one of two energetic jets have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb-1. Differential cross sections as a function of the angle between the charm-jet and the proton-beam direction in the dijet rest frame have been measured for samples enriched in direct or resolved photon events. The results are compared with predictions from leading-order parton-shower Monte Carlo models and with next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. The angular distributions show clear evidence for the existence of charm originating from the photon. © 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.Leading proton production in e + p collisions at HERA

Abstract:
Events with a final-state proton carrying a large fraction of the proton beam momentum, x L >0.6, and the square of the transverse momentum p T2 <0.5 GeV 2 , have been studied in e + p collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Data with different photon virtualities were used: Q 2 <0.02 GeV 2 , 0.1Scaling violations and determination of αs from jet production in γp interactions at HERA

Abstract:
Differential cross sections for jet photoproduction in the reaction ep → e jet X have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using 82.2 pb-1 of integrated luminosity. Inclusive jet cross sections are presented as a function of the jet transverse energy, ETjet, for jets with ETjet > 17 GeV and pseudorapidity -1 <ηjet <2.5, in the γp centre-of-mass-energy range 142 < Wγp < 293 GeV. Scaled jet invariant cross sections are presented as a function of the dimensionless variable xT ≡ 2ETjet/Wγp for (Wγp) = 180 and 255 GeV. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measured differential cross sections in both magnitude and shape. The ratio of scaled jet invariant cross sections at the two (Wγp) values shows clear non-scaling behaviour. A value for the strong coupling constant of αs(MZ) = 0.1224 ± 0.0001 (stat.)-0.0019+0.0022(exp.)-0.0042+0.0054(th.) has been extracted from a QCD analysis of the measured dσ/dETjet. The variation of αs with ETjet is in good agreement with the running of αs as predicted by QCD. © 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.Measurement of high-Q2 e- p neutral current cross sections at HERA and the extraction of xF3 : The ZEUS collaboration
