Abstract:

We are reporting results of the characterization of over 1600 multi-anode R5900-00-M16 photomultipliers manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., and installed in the MINOS Far detector. We have conducted extensive tests of the uniformity of gain and collection efficiency of individual anodes, the cross-talk among all 16 channels, the dark noise, and the linearity of response. In our studies we used a blue light-emitting diode to illuminate phototubes through 1.2 mm diameter optical fibers. In this paper, we present summaries of the main characteristics of the tested photomultipliers. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

We present measurements of the inclusive production cross sections of the Υ(1S) bottomonium state in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV. Using the Υ(1S)→μ+μ- decay mode for a data sample of 159±10pb-1 collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we determine the differential cross sections as a function of the Υ(1S) transverse momentum for three ranges of the Υ(1S) rapidity: 0<|yΥ|≤0.6, 0.6<|yΥ|≤1.2, and 1.2<|yΥ|≤1.8. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Correlations in the azimuthal angle between the two largest transverse momentum jets have been measured using the D0 detector in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=1.96TeV. The analysis is based on an inclusive dijet event sample in the central rapidity region corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150pb-1. Azimuthal correlations are stronger at larger transverse momenta. These are well described in perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant, except at large azimuthal differences where contributions with low transverse momentum are significant. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
