Title: A bulk superconducting MgB $_{2}$ cylinder for holding transversely polarized targets

Abstract

An innovative solution is being pursued for the challenging magnetic problem of producing an internal transverse field around a polarized target, while shielding out an external longitudinal field from a detector. A hollow bulk superconductor can trap a transverse field that is present when cooled through its transition temperature, and also shield its interior from any subsequent field changes. Here, a feasibility study with a prototype bulk MgB₂ superconducting cylinder is described. Promising measurements taken of the interior field retention and exterior field exclusion, together with the corresponding long-term stability performance, are reported. In the context of an electron scattering experiment, such a solution minimizes beam deflection and the energy loss of reaction products, while also eliminating the heat load to the target cryostat from current leads that would be used with conventional electromagnets.

${}_{Λ}^{3}H$ and ${}_{\bar{Λ}}^{3}{\overline{H}}$ production in Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76 TeV$

Journal Article Adam, J. ; Adamová, D. ; Aggarwal, M. M. ; ... - Physics Letters B

© 2016 CERN for the benefit of the ALICE Collaboration. The production of the hypertriton nuclei HΛ3 and H[U+203E]Λ-3 has been measured for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment at LHC. The p T -integrated HΛ3 yield in one unity of rapidity, dN/dy×B.R.(HΛ3→He3,π-)=(3.86±0.77(stat.)±0.68(syst.))×10-in the 0-10% most central collisions, is consistent with the predictions from a statistical thermal model using the same temperature as for the light hadrons. The coalescence parameter B 3 shows a dependence on the transverse momentum, similar to the B 2 of deuterons and the B 3 of 3 Hemore »« less

Measurement of the cross section ratio $σ_{t \bar{t} b \bar{b}} / σ_{t \bar{t} jj}$ in $p p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$

Journal Article Khachatryan, V. ; Sirunyan, A. M. ; Tumasyan, A. ; ... - Physics Letters B

In this study, the first measurement of the cross section ratio σ_ttbb¯/σ_ttjj is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb^–1 collected in pp collisions at √s = 8 with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events with two leptons (e or μ ) and four reconstructed jets, including two identified as b quark jets, in the final state are selected. The ratio is determined for a minimum jet transverse momentum p_T of both 20 and 40 GeV/c.

Measurement of dijet $k_{T}$ in p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV$

Journal Article Adam, J. ; Adamová, D. ; Aggarwal, M. M. ; ... - Physics Letters B

A measurement of dijet correlations in p–Pb collisions at √s_NN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector is presented. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles measured in the central tracking detectors and neutral energy deposited in the electromagnetic calorimeter. The transverse momentum of the full jet (clustered from charged and neutral constituents) and charged jet (clustered from charged particles only) is corrected event-by-event for the contribution of the underlying event, while corrections for underlying event fluctuations and finite detector resolution are applied on an inclusive basis.

Measurement of transverse energy–energy correlations in multi-jet events in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ using the ATLAS detector and determination of the strong coupling constant $α_{s} (m_{Z})$

Journal Article Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; Abdallah, J. ; ... - Physics Letters B

High transverse momentum jets produced in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV are used to measure the transverse energy–energy correlation function and its associated azimuthal asymmetry. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the year 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 158 pb^–1. The selection criteria demand the average transverse momentum of the two leading jets in an event to be larger than 250 GeV. The data at detector level are well described by Monte Carlo event generators. They are unfolded to the particle level and compared withmore »« less
