Abstract:

A search for QCD-instanton-induced events in deep inelastic ep scattering has been performed with the ZEUS detector at the HERA collider, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 38 pb-1. A kinematic range defined by cuts on the photon virtuality, Q2 > 120 GeV 2, and on the Bjorken scaling variable, x > 10-3, has been investigated. The QCD-instanton induced events were modelled by the Monte Carlo generator QCDINS. A background-independent, conservative 95% confidence level upper limit for the instanton cross section of 26 pb is obtained, to be compared with the theoretically expected value of 8.9pb.

Abstract:

A comprehensive thermal model of the ISIS H- ion source was produced in order to understand the thermal characteristics of the same. In normal operation, the source temperatures were monitored using thermocouples for the cathode, anode, and source body. A transient study was performed using the steady state solution as a starting point. The initial two-dimensional transient thermal modeling indicated that the surface heating during the arc on period only had time to penetrate a few millimeters into the electrode mass.
