Abstract:

The radiation tolerance of three multimode optical fibres has been investigated to establish their suitability for the use in the front-end data links of the ATLAS experiment. Both gamma and neutron irradiation studies are reported. A step-index fibre with a pure silica core showed an induced attenuation of approximately 0.05 dB/m at 330 kGy(Si) and 1×1015 n(1 MeV Si)/cm2 and is suitable for use with the inner detector links which operate at 40-80 Mb/s. A graded-index fibre with a predominantly germanium-doped core exhibits an induced attenuation of approximately 0.1 dB/m at 800 Gy(Si) and 2×1013 n(1 MeV Si)/cm2 and is suitable for the calorimeter links which operate at 1.6 Gb/s. Measurements of the dose rate dependence of the induced attenuation indicate that the attenuation in ATLAS will be lower.

Measuring CP violation and B0s-B̄0s mixing using B0s → J/ψφ with φ → K+K-, J/ψ → μ+μ-

Journal of Physics G Nuclear and Particle Physics 26:5 (2000) 741-743

Abstract:

We present a preliminary study of a new technique for measuring B0s mixing and CP violation using the decay B0s → J/ψφ, φ K+K-, J/ψ → μ+μ-. This technique utilizes the unequal lifetimes of the B0s CP even and odd eigenstates, and an angular variable decomposition of the CP content of the final state. This study is based on CDF Run-I observations and Run-II projections, and predicts that the B0s mixing parameter cursive Greek chis can be measured with high accuracy in untagged samples if this approach is adopted. A large CP asymmetry may also be possible to measure. The accuracy of this method is shown to increase for higher values of cursive Greek chis as the lifetime splitting of the CP eigenstates increases. The measurement of cursive Greek chis does not depend on tagging, whereas the observation of a CP-violating asymmetry does.

Abstract:

We report results from a study of events with a leading antiproton of beam momentum fraction 0.9057 GeV. Using the dijet events, we evaluate the diffractive structure function of the antiproton and compare it with expectations based on results obtained in diffractive deep inelastic scattering experiments at the DESY ep collider HERA.
