  • Accelerator Search of the Magnetic Monopo
    Accelerator Based Magnetic Monopole Search Experiments (Overview) Vasily Dzhordzhadze, Praveen Chaudhari∗, Peter Cameron, Nicholas D’Imperio, Veljko Radeka, Pavel Rehak, Margareta Rehak, Sergio Rescia, Yannis Semertzidis, John Sondericker, and Peter Thieberger. Brookhaven National Laboratory ABSTRACT We present an overview of accelerator-based searches for magnetic monopoles and we show why such searches are important for modern particle physics. Possible properties of monopoles are reviewed as well as experimental methods used in the search for them at accelerators. Two types of experimental methods, direct and indirect are discussed. Finally, we describe proposed magnetic monopole search experiments at RHIC and LHC. Content 1. Magnetic Monopole characteristics 2. Experimental techniques 3. Monopole Search experiments 4. Magnetic Monopoles in virtual processes 5. Future experiments 6. Summary 1. Magnetic Monopole characteristics The magnetic monopole puzzle remains one of the fundamental and unsolved problems in physics. This problem has a along history. The military engineer Pierre de Maricourt [1] in1269 was breaking magnets, trying to separate their poles. P. Curie assumed the existence of single magnetic poles [2]. A real breakthrough happened after P. Dirac’s approach to the solution of the electron charge quantization problem [3]. Before Dirac, J. Maxwell postulated his fundamental laws of electrodynamics [4], which represent a complete description of all known classical electromagnetic phenomena. Together with the Lorenz force law and the Newton equations of motion, they describe all the classical dynamics of interacting charged particles and electromagnetic fields. In analogy to electrostatics one can add a magnetic charge, by introducing a magnetic charge density, thus magnetic fields are no longer due solely to the motion of an electric charge and in Maxwell equation a magnetic current will appear in analogy to the electric current.

  • A New Avenue to Parton Distribution Functions Uncertainties: Self-Organizing Maps Abstract
    A New Avenue to Parton Distribution Functions Uncertainties: Self-Organizing Maps Abstract Neural network algorithms have been recently applied to construct Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) parametrizations as an alternative to standard global fitting procedures. We propose a different technique, namely an interactive neural network algorithm using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs). SOMs enable the user to directly control the data selection procedure at various stages of the process. We use all available data on deep inelastic scattering experiments in the kinematical region of 0:001 ≤ x ≤ 0:75, and 1 ≤ Q2 ≤ 100 GeV2, with a cut on the final state invariant mass, W 2 ≥ 10 GeV2. Our main goal is to provide a fitting procedure that, at variance with standard neural network approaches, allows for an increased control of the systematic bias. Controlling the theoretical uncertainties is crucial for determining the outcome of a variety of high energy physics experiments using hadron beams. In particular, it is a prerequisite for unambigously extracting from experimental data the signal of the Higgs boson, that is considered to be, at present, the key for determining the theory of the masses of all known elementary particles, or the Holy Grail of particle physics. PACS numbers: 13.60.-r, 12.38.-t, 24.85.+p 1 I. DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM AND GENERAL REMARKS In high energy physics experiments one detects the cross section, σX , for observing a particle X during a given collision process. σX is proportional to the number of counts in the detector. It is, therefore, directly \observable". Consider the collision between two hadrons (a hadron is a more general name to indicate a proton, neutron...or a more exotic particle made of quarks).

  • Structure Functions in Deep Inelastic Lepton-Nucleon Scattering 1
    Structure Functions in Deep Inelastic Lepton-Nucleon Scattering Max Klein DESY/Zeuthen Platanenallee 6 D-15738 Zeuthen, Germany This report presents the latest results on structure functions, as available at the Lepton-Photon Symposium 1999. It focuses on three experimental areas: new structure function measurements, in particular from HERA at low x and high Q2; results on light and heavy flavor densities; and determinations of the gluon distribution and of αs. As the talk was delivered at a historic moment and place, a few remarks were added recalling the exciting past and looking into the promising future of deep inelastic scattering (DIS). 1 Introduction About three decades ago, highly inelastic electron-proton scattering was observed by a SLAC-MIT Collaboration [1], which measured the proton structure function 2 2 νW2(Q ,ν) to be independent of the four-momentum transfer squared Q at 2 fixed Bjorken x = Q /2Mpν. Here, ν = E − E is the energy transferred by the virtual photon. It is related to the inelasticity y through ν = sy/2Mp, with pro- ton mass Mp and the energy squared in the center of mass system s = 2MpE. With the SLAC linear accelerator, the incoming electron energy E had been suc- cessfully increased by a factor of twenty as compared to previous form factor experiments [2]. Thus, Q2 = 4EE sin2(θ/2) could be enlarged and measured using the scattered electron energyE and its polar angle θ. Partonic proton sub- structure [3] was established at 1/ Q2 10−16 m, and this allowed the scaling 2 behavior [4] of νW2(Q ,ν)→ F2(x) to be interpreted.

  • EVIDENCE for GLUON RECOMBINATION in DEEP INELASTIC SCATTERING Kjell Prytz University of Gavle 801 76 Gavle Sweden E-Mail
    EVIDENCE FOR GLUON RECOMBINATION IN DEEP INELASTIC SCATTERING Kjell Prytz University of Gavle 801 76 Gavle Sweden e-mail: [email protected] PACS: 12.38.Bx Abstract The pomeron structure function is extracted from the latest H1 data and are subject to a QCD analysis. The result shows evidence for gluon recombination. Introduction We discuss the interpretation of the diffractive structure function as measured by the H1 collaboration at DESY [1]. Using a model proposed in ref. 2 we extract the pomeron structure function, a notion that occur in Regge phenomenlogy [3]. Together with the Collins factorization theorem for diffractive scattering [4] a framework for applying QCD evolution equations to the pomeron parton dynamics can be constructed. The procedure involves many assumptions but since it was first proposed some 10-15 years ago [2] evidence and support for its correctness have been presented (see ref . 5 and references therein). In 1997, H1 published a paper [6] where the DGLAP QCD dynamics [7] was applied to their own first data. Their result showed that the DGLAP evolution equations are able to fit these data satisfactorily. However, in 1998 new data with an extended kinematic range were published [8] and it was found that the DGLAP equations could not provide a decent description of the data [1]. In ref. 5 it was explained why DGLAP doesn’t work for the latest H1 data and it was qualitatively shown that the inclusion of gluon recombination (or generally, a low-x higher twist term) in the analysis is sufficient to explain the data.

  • Particle Physics at DESY / HERA (H1)
    Particle Physics at DESY 10 Particle Physics at DESY/HERA (H1) K. Müller, P. Robmann, U. Straumann, and P. Truöl in collaboration with: C. Grab (Institut für Teilchenphysik der ETH, Zürich), S. Egli, M. Hildebrandt and R. Horisberger (Paul–Scherrer–Institut, Villigen), and 39 institutes outside Switzerland (H1 - Collaboration) Working groups with representatives from both the H1- and the ZEUS-collaboration have finished combining the full body of deep-inelastic neutral and charged current scattering data taken at the HERA collider. We recall that HERA was operated in two phases: HERA-I, from 1992 to 2000, and HERA-II, from 2002 to 2007. Whereas the electron or positron beam energy was 27.5 GeV during all these years, the proton energy varied as Ep = 460, 575, 820 and 920 GeV corresponding to maximum centre-of-mass energies √s = 225, 252, 301 and 319 GeV, respectively. The total luminosity collected by H1 and ZEUS to- gether was 500 pb 1, shared about equally between e+ p ≈ − and e− p. The results briefly referred to below [1, 2] com- bine all published H1 and ZEUS measurements [3]. The 26 HERA-II measurements with polarized beams were in- dividually averaged to obtain cross sections for unpolar- ized beams used as inputs to the combination: 2927 initial Fig. 10.1 data points were combined into 1307 in the final set.
