  • A Measurement of Neutral B Meson Mixing Using Dilepton Events with the BABAR Detector
    A measurement of neutral B meson mixing using dilepton events with the BABAR detector Naveen Jeevaka Wickramasinghe Gunawardane Imperial College, London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and the Diploma of Imperial College December, 2000 A measurement of neutral B meson mixing using dilepton events with the BABAR detector Naveen Gunawardane Blackett Laboratory Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Prince Consort Road London SW7 2BW December, 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis reports on a measurement of the neutral B meson mixing parameter, ∆md, at the BABAR experiment and the work carried out on the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) data acquisition (DAQ) system and simulation software. The BABAR experiment, built at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre, uses the PEP-II asymmetric storage ring to make precise measurements in the B meson system. Due to the high beam crossing rates at PEP-II, the DAQ system employed by BABAR plays a very crucial role in the physics potential of the experiment. The inclusion of machine backgrounds noise is an important consideration within the simulation environment. The BABAR event mixing software written for this purpose have the functionality to mix both simulated and real detector backgrounds. Due to the high energy resolution expected from the EMC, a matched digital filter is used. The performance of the filter algorithms could be improved upon by means of a polynomial fit. Application of the fit resulted in a 4-40% improvement in the energy resolution and a 90% improvement in the timing resolution. A dilepton approach was used in the measurement of ∆md where the flavour of the B was tagged using the charge of the lepton.

    Neutrino. History of a unique particle S. M. Bilenky Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, R-141980, Russia TRIUMF 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver BC, V6T 2A3 Canada Abstract Neutrinos are the only fundamental fermions which have no elec- tric charges. Because of that neutrinos have no direct electromagnetic interaction and at relatively small energies they can take part only 0 in weak processes with virtual W ± and Z bosons (like β-decay of nuclei, inverse β processν ¯ + p e+n, etc.). Neutrino masses are e → many orders of magnitude smaller than masses of charged leptons and quarks. These two circumstances make neutrinos unique, special par- ticles. The history of the neutrino is very interesting, exciting and instructive. We try here to follow the main stages of the neutrino his- tory starting from the Pauli proposal and finishing with the discovery and study of neutrino oscillations. 1 The idea of neutrino. Pauli Introduction The history of the neutrino started with the famous Pauli letter. The exper- imental data ”forced” Pauli to assume the existence of a new particle which later was called neutrino. The hypothesis of the neutrino allowed Fermi to build the first theory of the β-decay which he considered as a process of a quantum transition of a neutron into a proton with the creation of an electron-(anti)neutrino pair. During many years this was the only experi- arXiv:1210.3065v1 [hep-ph] 10 Oct 2012 mentally studied process in which the neutrino takes part. The main efforts were devoted at that time to the search for a Hamiltonian of the interaction which governs the decay.

    Chapter 44 1. By charge conservation, it is clear that reversing the sign of the pion means we must reverse the sign of the muon. In effect, we are replacing the charged particles by their antiparticles. Less obvious is the fact that we should now put a “bar” over the neutrino (something we should also have done for some of the reactions and decays discussed in Chapters 42 and 43, except that we had not yet learned about antiparticles). To understand the “bar” we refer the reader to the discussion in Section 44-4. The decay of the negative pion is π− →+μ − v. A subscript can be added to the antineutrino to clarify what “type” it is, as discussed in Section 44-4. 2. Since the density of water is ρ = 1000 kg/m3 = 1 kg/L, then the total mass of the pool is ρ = 4.32 × 105 kg, where is the given volume. Now, the fraction of that mass made up by the protons is 10/18 (by counting the protons versus total nucleons in a water molecule). Consequently, if we ignore the effects of neutron decay (neutrons can beta decay into protons) in the interest of making an order-of-magnitude calculation, then the 32 number of particles susceptible to decay via this T1/2 = 10 y half-life is × 5 (10 / 18)M pool (10 / 18)( 4.32 10 kg ) 32 N ==−27 =1.44× 10 . mp 1.67× 10 kg Using Eq. 42-20, we obtain 32 N ln2 ch144.l× 10n 2 R == 32 ≈ 1decay y.

  • Majorana Returns Frank Wilczek in His Short Career, Ettore Majorana Made Several Profound Contributions

They partake in the weak interactions and the electron, being electrically charged, also has electromagnetic interactions. They do not interact strongly and are not found inside the nucleus. In terms of coupling to gauge bosons, this means that they both couple to W ±- and Z-bosons and the electron couples to the photon. There is no coupling between leptons and gluons. Nature gives us three copies of each “family” or “generation” of particles. There are, 1 therefore, two particles with similar properties to the electron (electric charge e, spin- 2 , weakly interacting but not strongly interacting). These are called the muon ( µ) and− the tau (τ). Each of these has its own neutrino, νµ and ντ respectively. Thus the six leptons are 105 Leptons Electric Charge νe νµ ντ 0 e µ τ -1 The electron has a mass of 0.511 Mev /c2, the muon a mass of 106 Mev /c2 and the tau a mass of 1.8 Gev /c2. The heavier charged leptons can decay via the weak interactions into an electron a neutrino and an anti-neutrino. The charged lepton emits a W − and converts into its own neutrino. The W − then decays into an electron and an electron-type anti-neutrino - just as in the β-decay of a neutron.

  • Are Neutrinos Their Own Antiparticles?*
    Are Neutrinos Their Own Antiparticles?* Boris Kayser Fermilab, MS 106, P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL 60510, U.S.A. Email: [email protected] Abstract: We explain the relationship between Majorana neutrinos, which are their own antiparticles, and Majorana neutrino masses. We point out that Majorana masses would make the neutrinos very distinctive particles, and explain why many theorists strongly suspect that neutrinos do have Majorana masses. The promising approach to confirming this suspicion is to seek neutrinoless double beta decay. We introduce a toy model that illustrates why this decay requires nonzero neutrino masses, even when there are both right-handed and left-handed weak currents. For given helicity h, is each neutrino mass eigenstate "i identical to its antiparticle, or different from it? Equivalently, do neutrinos have Majorana masses? If they do, then, as we shall explain, each "i is identical to its antiparticle: "i (h) = "i (h). Neutrinos of this nature are referred to as Majorana neutrinos, while ones for which "i (h) # "i!(h ) are called Dirac neutrinos. ! Let us recall what a Majorana mass is. Out of, say, a left-handed neutrino field, "L, and its charge c ! conjugate, " , one can build the “left-handed” (so called because it is constructed from " ) L ! L Majorana mass term c ! LL = mL"L"L , (1) ! ! which absorbs a (" )R and creates a "L.

  • Detection of Neutral Particles in High Energy Experiments Shinjiro Yasumi
    Detection of Neutral Particles in High Energy Experiments Shinjiro Yasumi KEK - 49 Detection of neutral particles in high energy experiments §l. Introduction In high energy experiments, it is rather easy to measure a reaction when particles participating in the reaction are all charged. When some neutral particles are included in a reaction, however, it is necessary to measure the reaction more carefully. Among various reactions in which some neutral particles are included, o some charge exchange reactions such as TI- + P ~ TI + n, TI + P ~ n+ n, and K + P ~ KO + n, are important to be studied. In these measurements the detection of neutral particles such as neutral pions, eta mesons and neutrons in necessary to be done. The accuracy of measurement of these reactions, sometimes, depends mainly upon the accuracy of neutral particle detection. o There are some reactions such as y + n ~ TI + nand K1 ~ 3TIo, in which participating particles are all neutral. In order to investigate these reactions it is indispensable to detect, to identify and to measure neutral particles included in the reaction. Since !the detection of neutral particles is generally more complicated than that of charged particles, it is worth improving and developing a method and: an apparatus for detecting neutral particles in hgih energy experiments. Now I would like to give you a short lecture on the detection of neutral particles in high energy experiments, aiming at that you will be l more familiar with this subject ) for the coming experiments using various beam lines from the KEK proton synchrotron in a few years from now.

The particular examples chosen include the C/J, the T, and the study of nucleon con- stituents with inelastic electron scattering. Precurser experiments are cited together with the better known discoveries. 2281 PARTICLE ACCELERATORS AND DISCOVERIES IN ELEMENTARY PARTICLE PHYSICS Lawrence W. Jones* Randall Laboratory of Physics, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1120 Dr. Month asked me to prepare a talk on high energy physics discoveries and their relationship to particle accelerators. No particular time period was specified~ however, high energy physics as a field is less than forty years old. This historical subject was a challenge for me as there was clearly far too much to cover in a comprehensive manner in just one hour. Therefore, I was forced to pick and choose. I am not an historian of physics, and I have not made a systematic study of the recent history of particle physics. Rather I am a physicist who is now becoming old enough to have "been there" when some of these discoveries were made. I have used as one source for this talk the material contained in a report prepared for a larger document "Physics in the 1980's" edited by Dr. Brinkman. Martin Perl of Stanford has chaired a subpanel on elementary particle physics of that task force, on which I served.

  • 1 Historical Introduction to the Elementary Particles
    13 1 Historical Introduction to the Elementary Particles This chapter is a kind of ‘folk history’ of elementary particle physics. Its purpose is to provide a sense of how the various particles were first discovered, and how they fit into the overall scheme of things. Along the way some of the fundamental ideas that dominate elementary particle theory are explained. This material should be read quickly, as background to the rest of the book. (As history, the picture presented here is certainly misleading, for it sticks closely to the main track, ignoring the false starts and blind alleys that accompany the development of any science. That’s why I call it ‘folk’ history – it’s the way particle physicists like to remember the subject – a succession of brilliant insights and heroic triumphs unmarred by foolish mistakes, confusion, and frustration. It wasn’t really quite so easy.) 1.1 The Classical Era (1897–1932) It is a little artificial to pinpoint such things, but I’d say that elementary particle physics was born in 1897, with J. J. Thomson’s discovery of the electron [1]. (It is fashionable to carry the story all the way back to Democritus and the Greek atomists, but apart from a few suggestive words their metaphysical speculations have nothing in common with modern science, and although they may be of modest antiquarian interest, their genuine relevance is negligible.) Thomson knew that cathode rays emitted by a hot filament could be deflected by a magnet. This suggested that they carried electric charge; in fact, the direction of the curvature required that the charge be negative.

A nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. (The word \nucleon" 1 means \either a proton or a neutron". Nucleons are spin- 2 fermions.) For example, the most common isotope of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. This nucleus is denoted by 16 8 O: The number of protons, in this case 8, is called the \atomic number" Z. (The symbol Z originates from the German \Zahl", meaning \number".) The total number of nucleons, in this case 16, is called the \mass number" A. It is called \mass number" because the mass of the nucleus is nearly A times the mass of a proton. This relation is not exactly true because (1) a neutron is slightly more massive (about 0.14% more) than a proton and (2) as we learned in relativity, the mass of the nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of its constituents.
