LumiCal - luminosity measurement

ILC physics: the required precision for L/L ~ NB /NB should be better than < 10-3 (at production of 106 W+W- or q+q- / year ) or ~ 10-4 (for Giga Z mode – 109 / year )

Counting rate NB of the Bhabha events : e+e- e+e- in small forward (Left-Right) LumiCal calorimeter will be used to measure the integrated luminosity : L = NB /B where B is precisely calculated from theory

To fulfil this task, it is necessary to build: ● luminosity detector with micrometers precision ● on-line running system (Laser Alignment System, LAS ) for precise measurements of the positions of the LumiCal and its internal layers

Required accuracy in displacement measurements: a few hunhred micrometers in (X,Y) directions,better than 60 m for a distance between both calorimeters and 4 m for the value of inner radius sensors

System integration with structure of ILD detector

Transparent position sensors :

Special transparent sensors (CMOS, CCD) placed on each sensor plane Problems with reflections Degradation of the beam shape for deeper planes Similar electronics as in pos. system for calorimeter

Other activities : displacement measurement of individual sensor layers

One laser beam lighting or individual system for each sensor plane

Spanned wire going through the holes in sensor planes working as antenna and pickup electrodes to measure the position of sensor layers

Spanned wire method

Active during time slots between trains

Possible interferences Accuracy up to ~0,5 µm Quite simple electronics Need 4 coax cables for each

plane Currently working on the

prototype

PLANS

In the nearest future:

● Beam test of the LumiCal prototype – expected at the end of 2009.

This task will be continued within EUDET Project and FCAL Collaboration.

EUDET is scheduled to be finished at the end of 2010.

● Preparing the prototype of the system for displacement measurements

of the individual sensor layers inside LumiCal

● Attempt to extend the manpower of NZ13.

Step in this direction: since January 2009 a student from FP7 Marie Curie

Initial Training Networks will work part-time

● Final decision will be reached about the possibility of using LumiCal sensors in Super Belle

● Activities within FiTAL (Polish Network on Physics and Technology of Linear Accelerators)

Long-term activities:● Further development of LAS, including measurements of distance between

both calorimeters – system design will be built together with other components

of ILD - 2009-2012

● Collaboration with CLIC project on physics and forward detector R&D

● Activities with LLRF system (XFEL project)

Experiment H1 at HERA (DESY,Hamburg)

Kraków H1 group:

Staff: 4

PhD Students: 3

Diploma students: 1 in 2008/2009

Technical-engineering staff:1

Experiment aims:

•Precision measurements of proton structure function

•Precision tests of QCD and studies of QCD evolution

•Search for new phenomena

Closed June 2007

Data analysis forseen till 2013 (2014 ?)


Kraków H1 group activities

•Data taking shifts

•Coordination of Monte Carlo production

•Maintenance of the MC-production data base

•Monte Carlo production on H1 PC-farm at DESY (from Kraków)

•Hall technician

•Participation in dismantling of the H1 experiment (5 techniciens)

Maintenance and operation

Physics:

•Publications, internal reviews

•Presentation of H1 results at international conferences (three in 2007, one in 2008)

•Habilitation thesis („The hadronic final states in deep inelastic ep scattering at low Bjorken x at HERA”, 2007)

•Data analysis


Data analysis• Studies of parton dynamics at low values of Bjorken x

•Study of hadronic final states at high Q2

•Study of strangeness production

Physics motivation : limitations of NLO DGLAP description of QCD and search for economic description of the data. Present work : measurement of angular correlation between forward jet and scattered electron.

•Search for instantons

Physics motivation: Instantons as a non-perturbative topological fluctuations of the gluon fields are a basic feature of QCD. Discovery of I-induced process would be of fundamental significance.

•Measurement of azimutal asymmetry in production of charged hadrons and energy flow

Physics motivation: comparison with resummed QCD NLO calculations .

Physics motivation: studies of strangeness production at HERA. Study finalized with H1 publication „Strangeness Production at low Q^2 in Deep-Inelastic ep Scattering at HERA ” (Submitted to Eur.Phys.J.C)


Why azimutal asymmetry ?

ZEUS measurement shows large deviations from QCD NLO calculation where it is not expected : independent measurement by H1 would be of interest


Strangeness production in DIS

Description of strangeness production in hadronisation models is governed by „strangeness suppression factor” s related to probability of creation of strange-antistrange pair from vacuum. Published study shows that

•different models (CDM vs. LEPTO) require different values of s for data description

•No single value of s can describe all details of the data


Financing

•Budget IFJ PAN:

•Grant MEiN for participation in the H1 experiment 2008-2009 : 119000 zł

•Gran MEiN for PhD student 2007/2009 : 23000 zł

•Travel and living costs partially financed by DESY

•Polish-German Joint Research Project IFJ PAN – DESY financed jointly by PAN and DESY 22000 zł/year (2006/2007)

Future Plans•H1 data (HERA II) analysis continues till 2013

•H1 Krakow will continue support of MC production as long as H1 Collaboration requires as well as other collaborative efforts

•We will continue analyses which had started and possibly (if students available) start new on high Q**2 hadronic final states data (e.g. strangeness production in HERA II ( connection to instanton searches)
