5 Cross Section in the Resonance Region Goal: to understand neutron as well as proton, understand u and d quark structure function... Data on the proton: clear resonant structure, separation from the non-resonant background is possible Data on the deuteron: kinematically smeared due to binding, off-shell, final state interactions (FSI), etc. 5

6 Exclusive electro-production D(e,e ` p)p Detect e, and at least ONE of the two final state protons in D(e,e ` p)p to ensure exclusivity and select events where the spectator proton has low, backwards momentum. Conservation of energy and momentum allows to determine the initial state of the neutron. Low momentum spectator proton Novel approach by the BoNuS collaboration: detect the spectator proton directly. e e npnp p psps d 6

7 Off-Shell and FSI for D(e,ep s )X Final State Interactions Off-shell Effects VIP s Select low P s ( 100 o ), angle between Ps and virtual photon, to minimize FIS. Off-shell effects are negligible for small P s. Choose P s <120 MeV/c as Very Important Spectator Protons (VIP) C. Atti et al, Eur. Phys. J. A 19,133-137 (2004). W. Melnitchouk et al, Phys. Lett.

21 Trigger efficiency is the fraction that the trigger particle (electron) is detected. It is obtained by scaling the simulation data to the real data, then calculating the ratio of real event counts in each p- grid to the simulated event counts in the same grid.

24 D(e,e p)p Acceptance Correction Binning information: W : 150 MeV each bin, [1.15,3.10); Q 2 : 6 bins, {0.1309, 0.3790, 0.7697, 1.0969, 1.5632, 2.6594, 4.5243 }; cos *: 8 bins, 0.25 each bin, [-1.0,1.0); *: 15 bins, 24 degrees each bin, [0.0,360.0). Acceptance is the ratio of the number of events detected in a given bin to the number of generated events in the same bin. Need to generate tables for D(e,e p RTPC )p and D(e,e p CLAS )p reaction separately. Applied event by event Need to have acceptance cut to ensure the reliabilities For CLAS channel: 0.008 and less than 10% uncertainty (> 100 detected events) For RTPC channel: 0.003 and less than 15% uncertainty (> 40 detected events) 24

30 Summary of Exclusive Analysis Measured absolute cross sections for D(e,e p)p reaction over a wide kinematic range, 1.1<W`<2.8 GeV, 0.13<Q 2 <4.5 GeV 2, full range of cos * and *. We see qualitative consistency in most bins between our results and model predictions. In most bins, the p RTPC and p CLAS channels are consistent. Huge increase in available data points (about 5000) for n p. Currently only ~900 points available in the world database. BoNuS data will be used to improve our understanding of neutron structure, as part of fits to world data (SAID, MAID…). Systematic error is estimated to be ~15% (not include FSI). Plan to repeat this analysis using other deuteron data, i.e. CLAS E6 data. Will also use BoNuS 12GeV data to increase statistics. 30

31 Inclusive Analysis The Ratio Method measure tagged counts divided by inclusive counts correct this ratio for backgrounds one scale factor gives F 2 n /F 2 d The Monte Carlo Method measure tagged counts divide by spectator model Monte Carlo results multiply by F 2 n used in the model The two methods have different systematic errors, but give very similar results.

32 BoNuS Kinematic Correction BoNuS Region VIPs p s distribution 70, 100, 200 MeV/c Very Important Protons 70<ps<100 MeV/c Corrections make resonances stand out F 2 n /F 2 p can be measured at high x*

33 Accidental Backgrounds Fits to the triangular background allows us to measure backgrounds underneath the peak R bg = Blue area / Pink area, R bg is independent of kinematics

34 Comparison of These 2 Methods 34 1, by S. Tkachenko, MC method 2, by N. Baillie, Ratio method

35 BoNuS F 2 n 35

36 BoNuS F 2 n /F 2 p F 2 n /F 2 n vs. x Curves are CETQ error bands CETQ cuts off at low x because Q 2 is too low Lower cuts in W* imply higher x but the inclusion of resonance contributions. Results are consistent with CETQ trends at high x.

37 E12-06-113 BoNuS Plans for 12 GeV Data taking: – 35 days on D 2 – 5 days on H 2 – L = 2 x 10 34 cm -2 sec -1 DIS region: – Q 2 > 1 GeV 2 – W* > 2 GeV – p s < 100 MeV/c – θ pq > 110° – x* max = 0.80 W* > 1.8 GeV: x* max = 0.83

38 Summary of Inclusive Analysis 38 We have measured F 2 n on a free neutron target No effects from Fermi motion and final-state interactions No evidence for off-shell structure for p s <100 MeV/c F 2 n/ F 2 p behaves at high x much like CETQ high-x fits F 2 n resonance data will significantly improve the world data set, which up to now came from d with nuclear corrections

50 Isolate Target Field from SNAKE Model Optics models could be simplied and well known for no target field...... Can we isolate the target filed behavious in g2p|gep optics? 5.0 Tesla target field, the integrated BdL_y from 800 mm to beyond is only 0.01 Tesla.m, about 1.46% of the total. 50

51 Optics: No Target Field Vertex to Sieve: propagated by Geant4 with a physics model (i.e. MSC, Decay, Ionization, EM physics...) Sieve to Focal: project sieve to target then using SNAKE forward model, 8-10 software collimator cuts are applied along the trajectory to make sure particle is really hitting the focal plane. Focal to target: using SNAKE backward model or real optics matrix. Target to Vertex: linear projection.

52 Optics: With Target Field Vertex to Sieve: propagated by Geant4 with a physics model Sieve to Focal: project sieve to target then using SNAKE forward model, 8-10 software collimator cuts are applied along the trajectory to make sure particle is really hitting the focal plane.

56 How well can we determine the central value? 56

57 Summary for the G2P Project We managed to accompolish most of the proposed physics goal. Detector calibration is almost done. Only BPM calibration is left over. The strategy of the reconstruction with target field is: No-Target-Filed-HRS + Drift-in-Taget-Field. This strategy works well. Geant4 simulation program for HRS is ready to use. This program can also be used for any other HRS experiements with minimum modification (just add the target geometry). There is huge difficulty to find the vertex plane (interaction plane). We can only reconstruct events back onto the target plane. That said we will not have good event by event resolution for the scattering angle. But we will be able to determine the XS central value up to 1%. 57

66 Vertex Cut 66

67 The Drift Path of An Ionized Electron The red lines show the drift path of each ionization electron that would appear on a given channel. In green is the spatial reconstruction of where the ionization took place. In reconstruction, hits which are close to each other in space are linked together and fit to a helical trajectory. This resulting helix tells us the vertex position and the initial three momentum of the particle. A MAGBOLTZ simulation of the crossed E and B fields, together with the drift gas mixture, determines the drift path and the drift velocity of the electrons. 67

68 RTPC Gain Calibration Channel by Channel gain multipliers can be determined for each run by comparing the tracks expected energy loss to the measured value. After applying the gain corrections, a clear separation of protons and heavier particles through dE/dx has been achieved. Gain constants (vs phi and z) determined independently for two different runs. Before and After Gain Calibration 68

Need to generate tables for D(e,e p RTPC )p and D(e,e p CLAS )p reaction separately. Applied event by event Need to have acceptance cut to ensure the reliabilities For CLAS channel: 0.008 and less than 10% uncertainty (> 100 detected events) For RTPC channel: 0.003 and less than 15% uncertainty (> 40 detected events) 74
