DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) will be an experiment for the direct detection of dark using a multi-ton xenon time projection chamber at its core. Its primary goal to explore experimentally accessible parameter space Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in wide mass-range, until neutrino interactions target become irreducible background. The prompt scintillation light and charge signals induced by particle observed VUV sensitive, ultra-low background photosensors....
We perform a low-mass dark matter search using an exposure of $30\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kg}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{yr}$ with the XENON100 detector. By dropping requirement scintillation signal and only ionization to determine interaction energy, we lowered energy threshold for detection 0.7 keV nuclear recoils. No can be claimed because complete background model cannot constructed without primary signal. Instead, compute upper limit on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section...
We report measurements of π±K±, and p, ¯p inclusive cross sections fractions in e+e− annihilation at √s=29 GeV, for the momentum interval 0.01<z=ppbeam<0.90. The analysis is based on approximately 70 pb−1 data collected with TPC2γ detector facility SLAC storage ring PEP. Detector upgrades result significantly improved coverage precision data, compared to previous measurements.Received 9 May 1988DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.61.1263©1988 American Physical Society
We report measurements of the two-photon processes ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, at an ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ center-of-mass energy 29 GeV.

The TPC/Two-Gamma facility at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP was used to study reactions γγ*→η and γγ*→η'. ηγ*γ η'γ*γ transition form factors were measured as functions of Q2, negative invariant mass squared tagged photon, in range 0.1<Q2<7 GeV2. These determinations electromagnetic structure η η' mesons are consistent with both vector-meson dominance QCD. They also provide new measurements pseudoscalar mixing angle decay constants.Received 21 August...
We have observed the formation of two spin-one mesons in \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma} fusion reactions which one photon was highly virtual. The first, consistent with being ${J}^{\mathrm{PC}}$${=1}^{++}$ ${f}_{1}$(1285), seen final state \ensuremath{\eta}${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ (\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}), as \ensuremath{\eta}'(958). previously reported observation second state,...
Two-photon production of KS0K±π∓ states has been studied by the TPC/Two-Gamma experiment at SLAC storage ring PEP. A resonance mass 1.42 GeV was seen when one photons quite virtual but not both were nearly real. Production a spin-1 meson, which cannot be made two real photons, would fit these observations. The Q2 dependence data in region agrees with this spin assignment and is incompatible spin-0 hypothesis. width are similar to those E assigned JP=0− JP=1+ different experiments.Received 14...

By observing the reaction γγ→Ks0K±π∓, TPC/Two-Gamma experiment at SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP has obtained a 95%-confidence-level limit of Γι→γγB(ι→KK¯π)<1.6 keV for ι(1450) meson. If, as is likely, ι decays predominantly into KK¯π, resulting Γι→γγ appears to conflict with previous assignments an observed ργ decay and also many analyses η-η’-ι mixing.

We compare the particle flow in event plane of three-jet $q\overline{q}g$ (quark-antiquark-gluon) events with radiative annihilation $q\overline{q}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ (quark-antiquark-photon) for similar kinematic configurations. In angular region between quark and antiquark jet, we find a significant decrease density as compared to $q\overline{q}\ensuremath{\gamma}$. This effect is predicted QCD result destructive interference soft-gluon radiation from quark, antiquark, hard gluon.
We report measurements of two-particle correlations in rapidity space between a p¯ or Λ¯ and an additional p, p¯, Λ, Λ¯. find evidence for local conservation baryon number, the first time observe pronounced anticorrelation baryons with same value number. Such is expected fragmentation models where order particles closely reflects their ''color order,'' as case, example, recent versions Lund string model.Received 14 October 1986DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.57.3140©1986 American...

The Rasnik alignment system was developed initially in 1983 for the monitoring of muon chambers L3 Muon Spectrometer at CERN. Since then, development has continued as new opto-electronic components become available. systems are 3-point optical displacement monitors and their precision ranges from below nanometers to several micrometers, depending on design requirements systems.
