Beam energy scan around second resonance region. * indicate that at this momentum Cristal Ball@ BNL took also data in pi-p -> pi0pi0 n channel- PHYSICAL REVIEW C 69, 045202 (2004) -(complementary channel - very important for PWA analysis because in this channel rho meson MUST be absent). At central value of our measurement 0.69 GeV /c we will have enough statistics to make additional 2 bins in momentum +- 2% (0.703 and 0.677 GeV /c b.t.w also measured by CB)

Runs with PE target

pion momentum [GeV/c] Centrum of mass Energy Number of events
0.8 1.556 >= 40 MLN (measured 52.4 MLN)
0.748* 1.526 >= 40 MLN (measured 76.5 MLN)
0.69 * 1.49 measured 774.7 MLN
0.656* 1.468 >= 40 MLN (measured 42.4 MLN)
0.612* 1.441 >= 40 MLN
For bakcground subtraction we need at least same statistics (40 MLN) in each momenty bin with Carbon target.

Thus, in total we need at least 9 good shifts (4 momentum scan and 5 carbon) to cover this program.

Runs with C target

pion momentum [GeV/c] Centrum of mass Energy Number of events
0.8 1.556 measured 41.2 MLN
0.748* 1.526 measured 42.2 MLN
0.69 * 1.49 measured 115.7 MLN
0.656* 1.468 measured 41.9 MLN
0.612* 1.4not41 measured 47.8 MLN

Dilepton analysis (Sept 2017):

  • 3-dim acceptance and efficiency matrices calculated from GEANT4 simulations of electrons/positrons with flat momentum distributions (p<700 MeV /c).X=theta (deg) 45 bins (0.,90.) ;Y=phi (deg) 90 bins (0.,360.); Z=p (MeV /c) 40 bins (0.,800.);
  • data and simulation (using PLUTO ρ and old RICH digitizer) events for extraction of Spin Density Matrix coefficients (Andrey's procedure)
  • tar file with Andrey's code. Instructions can be found in the README.
  • files with events generated with the GSI model (old version) in 4π N1440,N1520,N1520+N1440,N1520-N1440: original files and files with appropriate format to be used by the fitting code. (Note: model files not available anymore)

Liquid Hydrogen target

A repair action on the LH2 target is underway. Tests are being conducted with a proton beam at the Orsay Tandem. See the presentation THennino_pactandem_140213.pdf at the PAC meeting on the 14/2/13.

The test at the Orsay tandem was conducted from 6th to 8th of january 2014. See the presentation TEST_LH2_tandem_150114.pdf

segmented Start Detector

The Start detector consists of 9 diamonds each with 4 pads. In runs with the LH2 target, it will be located 40 cm upstream of the target center and about 80 cm inside the support pipe (downstream) of the target. The estimated heat injection after shielding start detector and support rods with aluminized mylar foils (low emissivity of 5% each layer) will amount to several 10 mW. The effect of this heat injection onto liquid stability will be tested as soon as the LN2 target is operational.
Some details of the design can be found in PionBeamStartDetector.pdf. It will be updated regularly.
