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 200

Modelling of the EMMA NS-FFAG injection line using GPT

IPAC 2010 - 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference (2010) 561-563

Abstract:

EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) accelerator presently under construction at Daresbury Laboratory, UK. The energy recovery linac ALICE[1] will serve as an injector for EMMA within the energy range of 10 to 20 MeV. The injection line consists of a symmetric 30° dogleg to extract the beam from ALICE, a matching section and a tomography section for transverse emittance measurements. This is followed by a transport section to the injection point of the EMMA ring. Commissioning of the EMMA injection line started in early 2010. A number of different injection energy and bunch charge regimes are planned; for some of the regimes the effects of space-charge will be significant. It is therefore necessary to model the electron beam transport in this line using a code capable of both calculating the effect of, and compensating for, space-charge. Therefore the General Particle Tracer (GPT) code [2] has been used. A range of injection beam parameters have been modelled for comparison with experimental results.

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. The last measurements using the upgraded system from recent operation at the ATF are presented, demonstrating raw measurements of order 3μm RMS. The main component contributions to this measurement are also discussed. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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
