Longitudinal bunch profile diagnostics in the 50FS range using coherent smith-purcell radiation
IPAC 2010 - 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference (2010) 1155-1157
Abstract:
We have considered the possibility of using coherent Smith-Purcell radiation for the single-shot determination of the longitudinal profile of 50 fs (FWHM) long electron bunches. A set of three gratings, with periods of 15, 85 and 500 μm, will produce detectable energy in the wavelength region 10-1000μm, which should be adequate for the reconstruction of the bunch shape by the Kramers-Kronig technique. For bunch charges of 109 electrons, or more, the radiated energy can be detected by room temperature pyroelectric detectors.Measurement of high-Q2 charged current deep inelastic scattering cross sections with a longitudinally polarised positron beam at HERA
European Physical Journal C 70:4 (2010) 945-963
Abstract:
Measurements of the cross sections for charged current deep inelastic scattering in e+p collisions with a longitudinally polarised positron beam are presented. The measurements are based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 132 pb-1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The total cross section is presented at positive and negative values of the longitudinal polarisation of the positron beams. The single-differential cross-sections dσ/dQ2, dσ/dx and dσ/dy are presented for Q2>200 GeV2. The reduced cross-section σ̃ is presented in the kinematic range 200Measurement of the WW+WZ production cross section using a matrix element technique in lepton+jets events
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 82:11 (2010)
Abstract:
We present a measurement of the WW+WZ production cross section observed in a final state consisting of an identified electron or muon, two jets, and missing transverse energy. The measurement is carried out in a data sample corresponding to up to 4.6fb⊃-1 of integrated luminosity at √s=1.96TeV collected by the CDF II detector. Matrix element calculations are used to separate the diboson signal from the large backgrounds. The WW+WZ cross section is measured to be 17.4±3.3pb in agreement with standard model predictions. A fit to the dijet invariant mass spectrum yields a compatible cross section measurement. © 2010 The American Physical Society.Search for dijet resonances in 7 TeV pp collisions at CMS
Physical Review Letters 105:21 (2010)
Abstract:
A search for narrow resonances in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9pb⊃-1 collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are presented on the product of the resonance cross section, branching fraction into dijets, and acceptance, separately for decays into quark-quark, quark-gluon, or gluon-gluon pairs. The data exclude new particles predicted in the following models at the 95% confidence level: string resonances, with mass less than 2.50 TeV, excited quarks, with mass less than 1.58 TeV, and axigluons, colorons, and E6 diquarks, in specific mass intervals. This extends previously published limits on these models.
