Conference summary

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 623:1 (2010) 80-81

Abstract:

How does one summarise a summary? Briefly. • TIPP09, the first of a new IUPAP-sponsored series, has made a fantastic start and promises that TIPP will be as distinguished a series as Rochester and LPS. The next conference will be hosted in two years time by Fermilab in the Chicago area. • The whole area of detectors and accelerators is in rapid and continuous development. There will be lots to report every two years. The scope of TIPP will continue to grow as the imperative to transfer technology to other fields is increasingly recognised. • We are approaching a cusp in particle physics. In these turbulent times, we must convince governments and colleagues that particle physics is a subject in which it is worth investing. We have an excellent story. With the courage and imagination of our predecessors, we can succeed. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

The KEK Accelerator test facility (ATF) extraction line laser-wire system has been upgraded last year allowing the measurement of micron scale transverse size electron beams.

Abstract:

Beauty production in deep inelastic scattering with events in which a muon and a jet are observed in the final state has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 114 pb-1. The fraction of events with beauty quarks in the data was determined using the distribution of the transverse momentum of the muon relative to the jet. The cross section for beauty production was measured in the kinematic range of photon virtuality, Q2>2 GeV2, and inelasticity, 0.05

Abstract:

A combination is presented of the inclusive deep inelastic cross sections measured by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations in neutral and charged current unpolarised e±p scattering at HERA during the period 1994-2000. The data span six orders of magnitude in negative four-momentum-transfer squared, Q2, and in Bjorken x. The combination method used takes the correlations of systematic uncertainties into account, resulting in an improved accuracy. The combined data are the sole input in a NLO QCD analysis which determines a new set of parton distributions, HERAPDF1.0, with small experimental uncertainties. This set includes an estimate of the model and parametrisation uncertainties of the fit result.

Abstract:

For the first time, differential inclusive-jet cross sections have been measured in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering using the anti-kT and SIScone algorithms. The measurements were made for boson virtualities Q2>125 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb-1 and the jets were identified in the Breit frame. The performance and suitability of the jet algorithms for their use in hadron-like reactions were investigated by comparing the measurements to those performed with the kT algorithm. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measurements. 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(αs3) terms. Values of αs(MZ) were extracted from the data; the results are compatible with and have similar precision to the value extracted from the kT analysis. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
