Abstract:

We present an outline of experiments being conducted at Oxford University on multiple-pulse, resonantly-enhanced laser plasma wakefield acceleration. This method of laser plasma acceleration uses trains of optimally spaced low energy short pulses to drive plasma oscillations and may enable laser plasma accelerators to be driven by compact and efficient fibre laser sources operating at high repetition rates. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract:

Inclusive-jet cross sections have been measured in the reaction ep→e+jet+X for photon virtuality Q 2<1 GeV 2 and γp centre-of-mass energies in the region 14217 GeV and -1< jet<2.5. In addition, measurements of double-differential inclusive-jet cross sections are presented as functions of ETjet in different regions of jet. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measurements, except for jets with low ETjet and high jet. The influence of non-perturbative effects not related to hadronisation was studied. Measurements of the ratios of cross sections using different jet algorithms are also presented; the measured ratios are well described by calculations including up to O(αs2) terms. Values of α s(M Z) were extracted from the measurements and the energy-scale dependence of the coupling was determined. The value of α s(M Z) extracted from the measurements based on the k T jet algorithm is αs(MZ)=0.1206-0.0022+0.0023(exp.)-0.0035+0.0042(th.); the results from the anti-k T and SIScone algorithms are compatible with this value and have a similar precision. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:

The production of isolated high-energy photons accompanied by jets has been measured in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326pb -1. Measurements were made for exchanged photon virtualities, Q 2, in the range 10 to 350GeV 2. The photons were measured in the transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges 4
