Abstract:

Experiment E683 at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) in Batavia, Illinois, uses a modular, high-energy sampling calorimeter as the basis of the detector system. This detector provides information on the energy and position of particles that exit a collision of a photon or pion with a target proton. While exiting particles are thought to form what are described as "jets", and several E683 projects involve working with these jets, it has not yet been demonstrated that jets indeed have been detected.The solution proposed here involves demonstrating that E683 data has a statistically significant "jettiness" even in a data sample which has not been biased. Towards this, a data sample was selected based on criteria unrelated to the presumption of jets. Planarity and the Et Flow were chosen as measures of how oblong(jetlike) an event is. The sample was then examined for planarity and Et flow in a number of kinematic ranges and the results demonstrate that over a certain kinematic range, events in our sample are increasingly planar, as we hypothesized.

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the improvement of particle tracking through the identification and correction of small systematic errors in particle "hit" locations due to positioning of tracking detectors. These errors call be as large or larger than the statistical spatial resolution of tracking detectors themselves, and therefore must be corrected. The focus is on identification and correction of errors due to rotations and beam axis translations.An algorithm is developed for use with proportional wire chamber and drift chamber detectors in experiment E683 at the Wideband facility of Fermi National Laboratory. In this experiment, high energy (tens of GeV) particles, primarily mesons, were produced when photons with energies of 40-400 GeV struck a metal or liquid target.At the present time, the method and code developed for this thesis has not been applied to real data, although an analysis of its effectiveness as a function of detector resolution has been investigated with Monte-Carlo simulations.

Abstract:

In this thesis we work on the problem of the two-alpha-particle system using a halo/- cluster effective field theory (EFT). Our goal is to address the alpha-alpha scattering observables and its low-energy resonance identified as the ground state of Beryllium-8. In this work we start with an EFT in which the degrees of freedom are the alpha particles interacting via momentum-dependent contact forces. These, in contrast to forces that are energy-dependent, are more useful in extending the theory to systems with more than two alpha particles. Additionally, momentum-dependent forces allow us to address causal restrictions on scattering observables, known as the Wigners causality bound. We present our EFT calculations for the alpha-alpha system.
Nesta tese, nós trabalhamos sobre o problema do sistema de duas partículas alfa utilizando uma teoria de campos efetiva. O nosso objetivo é abordar os observáveis e a ressonância do sistema alfa-alfa de baixa energia identificada como o estado fundamental do berílio-8. Neste trabalho nós começamos com uma teoria de campo efetiva em que os graus de liberdade são as partículas alfa interagindo via forças de contato dependentes do momento. Estes, em contraste com as forças que são dependentes da energia, são mais úteis na extensão da teorias para sistemas com mais de duas partículas alfa. Além disso, forças dependentes do momento nos permitem abordar restrições causais nos observáveis, conhecidas como causalidade de Wigner. Nós apresentamos nossos cálculos para o sistema alfa-alfa.

Abstract:

Magister Scientiae - MSc
The inclusive double di®erential cross sections of 3He, 4He, and 6He par- ticles produced from the interaction of 12C with 93Nb at 400 MeV incident energy were extracted from the prescaled singles spectra which were mea- sured in conjunction with the correlation between 8Be fragments and ® par- ticles. A further aim of this project was to test the detector e±ciencies and energy calibrations by comparing the alpha and 8Be prescaled singles data with existing inclusive cross sections of the same reaction. The absolute cross sections of 3He and 6He fragments have been extracted based on the absolute normalization of the alpha particle spectra. A study of the inclusive spectra of 3He and 6He suggest similar features to those seen in the alpha particle spectra. These features are described by the projectile break-up and nucleon coalescence mechanisms. A theoretical model which takes both these mech- anisms into account was applied to describe 3He and 6He fragments. The model is able to reproduce reasonably well the inclusive energy spectra of the 3He and 6He fragments. These results are found to be consistent with previous studies of the emission of intermediate mass fragments.

Abstract:

Intermittency, as introduced into multiparticle production by Bialas and Peschanski, has become a fruitful and rapidly growing industry. The original concept of intermittency in the form of the Alpha model is discussed in detail and suggestions for extensions are made. We analyze the factorial moments measured by different experimental collaborations in terms of their nontrivial many-particle correlations, the cumulants. A large fraction of measured moments is shown to originate in two-particle correlations. The validity of the Linked Pair ansatz is tested and found to be acceptable to fourth order for hadronic collisions but uncertain for nuclear collisions. A cumulant decomposition for bin-bin correlations is derived, and a general formalism is developed for treating correlations of particle distributions consisting of several distinct populations, such as particles of different charge.

Abstract:

Bibliography p. 214-226.
Exclusive measurements have been made of the reactions ⁴He(p,2p ), (p,pd), (p,pt) and (p,ph) at 100 MeV. The primary protons were measured at two angles, 45° and 60°, in coincidence with secondary protons, deuterons, tritons or helions covering a wide range of angles on the opposite side of the beam, from -15° to -90° in plane, and from 0° to 30° out-of-plane. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the validity of the Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation (DWIA) as a description of these quasifree knockout reactions, at all geometries where the knockout cross section is significant. Six particle telescopes, each consisting of two silicon detectors and a NaI detector, were used to measure the coincident particles. The experimental data are presented in the form of energy-sharing distributions, which were generated by projecting the two-dimensional quasifree knockout loci onto the energy axis of the primary proton. The comparison between these energy-sharing distributions and the curves calculated by means of the DWIA is satisfactory for all geometries, except at the most forward secondary angles for the (p,pt) and (p,ph) reactions. It is concluded that the DWIA is an adequate formalism for modelling the quasifree knockout reactions induced by 100 MeV protons on ⁴He. Based on this conclusion, the total contribution of quasifree knockout to the existing inclusive (p,p') spectra has been calculated by integrating the DWIA cross sections over the solid angles of the secondary particles. The spectroscopic factors used were those extracted from the coincidence data. For the (p,pn) reaction, it was assumed that the spectroscopic factors were the same as for (p,2p). It is found that 70 ± 10% of the inclusive continuum yields is attributable to quasifree scattering, with ~30% arising from multiple scattering. At low energies of the scattered proton, the knockout of nucleons constitutes over 90% of the quasifree component, whereas at high energies the knockout of deuterons, tritons and helions dominates the yield. Thus the absence of discernable quasifree peaks in the inclusive spectra is probably due to the cluster knockout contributions filling in the yield at higher energies.

Abstract:

Ce travail consiste en l'étude des événements diffractifs avec production de jets pour lesquels le proton diffusé est détecté dans le spectromètre à protons, VFPS, au sein de l'expérience H1 auprès du collisionneur HERA.

L'objectif est de mesurer la section efficace de ce processus et de la confronter aux prédictions théoriques de la Chromo Dynamique Quantique (QCD). Ces prédictions reposent sur le théorème de factorisation collinéaire, via l'universalité des densités de partons (PDF).

Les analyses précédentes de la Collaboration H1 ont montré un bon accord entre les données et les prédictions dans le domaine de l'électro-production supportant la factorisation. Cependant, en photo-production, une brisure de la factorisation a été observée.

Dans ce travail, le nouveau spectromètre à protons VFPS a été utilisé afin de détecter le proton diffusé lors de l'interaction diffractive, permettant de supprimer le bruit de fond dominant dans les mesures précédentes et de réduire d'autres sources d'incertitudes expérimentales.

La section efficace de production de jets dans le domaine de l'électro-production est extraite et comparée aux prédictions QCD au NLO. Ces prédictions sont basées sur les fonctions de distribution de partons (PDF) extraites des mesures antérieures par la Collaboration H1.

Les sections efficaces obtenues dans ce travail sont en accord tant d'un point de la normalisation que de celui de la dépendance en les différentes variables cinématiques avec les prédictions théoriques.

Nous pouvons en conclure l'universalité des PDF telle que prédite par le théorème de factorisation. De plus, l'analyse des sections efficaces différentielles permet de montrer que les prédictions basées sur des PDF extraites à partir d'une combinaison de mesures en diffraction inclusive et de production de jets semble être favorisée.

La production de jets en diffraction dans le domaine de la photo-production est également étudiée dans cette thèse. On y traite de la mise en place d'un nouveau sous-déclencheur permettant de sauvegarder les données sur banques. Les données en photo-production ont été comparées aux données simulées par un programme par Monte Carlo. Le bon accord entre les deux échantillons permet de s'assurer que les différents effets détecteurs ont été correctement pris en compte et montre que la mesure de la section efficace est faisable.

Abstract:

O termo sigma nuclear (o conteúdo isoescalar de quarks do estado nuclear) é calculado no contexto do modelo de Skyrme, através da consideração da dependência do potencial núcleon-núcleon com as massas de corrente. O termo sigma nuclear é extraído da massa nuclear usando-se o teorema de Hellmann-Feynman, derivando a interação núcleon-núcleon com respeito às massas dos quarks up e down, m IND.q V IND.NN/ m IND.q. O potencial é construído na aproximação do ansatz produto quantizado no modelo de Skyrme. A dependência às massas dos quarks vem do termo relativo a massa do píon na Lagrangiana de Skyrme. Esta conexão é feita usando a relação de Gell-Mann, Oakes e Renner. É feita uma discussão de como m IND. m IND.q V IND.NN/ m IND.q deve entrar no cálculo do termo sigma nuclear no contexto da mecânica quântica não relativística. Também calculamos o termo sigma do núcleon e as derivadas das constantes de acoplamento píon-núcleon, carga axial, raios eletromagnéticos e momentos magnéticos. Considerando a contribuição do potencial para o termo sigma da matéria nuclear, o valor local do condensado de quarks é estimado. Devido ao caráter repulsivo do termo do potencial, o condensado diminui somente 5% na densidade normal. O problema da falta de repulsão na magnitude da parte real do potencial ótico isoescalar píon-núcleo-onda-s, provenientes da análise de dados de espalhamento e átomos piônicos, é resolvido no contexto presente. A contribuição do potencial skyrmion-skyrmion ao termo sigma nuclear, proporciona a repulsão necessária para o potencial píon-núcleo, em um surpreendente acordo com os parâmetros ajustados e também com a sua dependência da massa nuclear.
The nuclear sigma term, the isoscalar quark content of the nuclear state, is calculated within the Skyrme model considering the current quark mass dependence of the nucleon-nucleon potential. The nuclear sigma term is extracted from the nuclear mass using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, which demands for the derivative of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, m IND.q V IND.NN/ m IND.q, with respect to the up-down quark masses, The potential is evaluated in the skyrmion-skyrmion picture within the quantized product anstatz. The quark mass dependence of the potential comes from the pion mass term in the Skyrme Lagrangian. Such connection is made using the Gell-Mann, Oakes and Renner relation. We provide a discussion on how m IND.q V IND.NN/ m IND.q should enter in the evaluation of the nuclear sigma-term in the context of nonrealativistic quantum mechanics. We also calculate the nucleon sigma term, and the derivatives of the pion-nucleon coupling constant, axial charge, electromagnetic radius and magnetic moments. Considering the contribution of the potential to the nuclear matter sigma term, the local value quark condensate drops only 5% at normal density. The problem of missing repulsion in the magnitude of the real part of the isoscalar s-wave pion nucleus optical potential, as taken from pionic atom and elastic scattering data analysis, is fixed in the present context. The contribution of the skyrmion-skyrmion potential to the nuclear sigma term, provides the missing repulsion to the pion-nucleus optical potential, in remarkable agreement with the fitted parameters and also reproducing its mass dependence.

Abstract:

In this work thermal dilepton production from a hot medium created in heavy ion collision is studied. Using an effective Lagrangian technique for particle decays and annihilations, a complete method for calculation of the lepton pair production rate is developed. The importance of axial vector meson contributions to the dilepton spectrum is analyzed. Different effective Lagrangians for the a1rhopi interaction are considered, and a new form of b1o(&phis;)pi effective Lagrangian is introduced.
A systematic study of light meson contributions is performed. The most significant decay and reaction contributions are calculated and summed for low and intermediate invariant mass dileptons. The calculated dilepton rate is compared to that obtained using spectral functions extracted from data, and it is shown that the chosen set of mesonic reactions and decays accounts for all significant contributions to the thermal dilepton emission.
A hydrodynamic approach to the space-time evolution of the hot medium formed as a result of a central heavy ion collision at ultra-relativistic energies is considered. A theoretical curve of intermediate invariant mass dilepton spectrum is computed and compared to the NA50 data from central Pb(158 AGeV)+Pb collisions. Experimental acceptance cuts are accounted for. Drell-Yan processes are considered as well. We find that our thermal dileptons account for the intermediate mass excess observed by the NA50 Collaboration. We see no need to invoke charm enhancement. Predictions for the future experiments at RHIC and are made.

Dentro do esquema de quantização estocástica de Parisi e Wu estudamos aspectos ligados a renormalização da teoria estocástica de certos modelos em teoria de campos. No formalismo funcional para processos estocásticos implementamos a expansão 1/N para o modelo sigma não linear e usando a identidade de Ward, devida a simetria de BRS da ação efetiva dessa formulação, mostramos a renormalizabilidade do modelo. No formalismo de Langevin para processos estocásticos estudamos a renormalizabilidade do modelo de Thirring massivo e mostramos perturbativamente o anulamento da função beta do grupo de renormalização a tempo fictício finito.
In the stochastic quantization scheme of Parisi and Wu we study the renormalization of the stochastic theory of some models in field theory. Following the path integral approach for stochastic process we perform the 1/ N expansion of the nonlinear sigma model and, using a Ward identity obtained, from a BRS symmetry of the effective action of this formulation, we show the renormalizability of the model. Using the Langevin approach for stochastic process we study the renormalizability of the massive Thirring model showing perturbativaly the vanishing of the renormalization group\'s beta function at finite fictitious time.

Uma partícula clássica relativística é descrita utilizando-se o formalismo de Dirac para sistemas vinculados devido à invariança sob transformações de reparametrizações requerida por uma teoria explícitamente covariante. Nós introduzimos os graus de liberdade de spin via variáveis de Grassman, que levam diretamente ao conceito de supersimetria presente na teoria. As equações de movimento e a quantização são consideradas tanto para as teorias livres de spin 0 e 1/2, como para a teoria com interação eletromagnética. A álgebra dos vínculos de primeira classe é extendida para descrever partículas de spin N/2, que incluem as representações de spin 1. A teoria quântica obtida é comparada com a teoria clássica de campos

We introduce spin degrees of freedom via Grassman variables, which leads directly to the concept of supersymmetry in the theory.

Abstract:

This work presents a study of high-spin states in the nucleus ¹⁹⁶Tl via γ-spectroscopy. ¹⁹⁶Tl was produced via the ¹⁹⁷Au(⁴He,5n) ¹⁹⁶Tl reaction at a beam energy of 63 MeV. The γ-γ coincidence measurements were performed using the AFRODITE γ-spectrometer array at iThemba LABS. The previous level scheme of ¹⁹⁶Tl has been extended up to an excitation of 4071 keV including 24 new γ-ray transitions. The spin and parity assignment to levels was made from the directional correlation of oriented nuclei (DCO) and linear polarization anisotropy ratios. An analysis of the B(M1)/B(E2) ratios was found to be consistent with the configuration of πh₉/₂♁vi₁₃/₂ for the ground state band. Although no chiral band was found in ¹⁹⁶TI and ¹⁹⁸TI.

Abstract:

The Standard Model of particle physics has enjoyed unprecedented success in predicting experimental results. However, evidence from astrophysical observations points to the existence of a dark sector of particles that interact only very weakly with the Standard Model. In this work, we search for dark sector signatures in X-ray telescope data. Much of this work concerns a class of hypothetical particles, the axion-like particle (ALP). ALPs are a theoretically well-motivated extension of the Standard Model. If ALPs exist, they may lead to intriguing astrophysical signatures: in the presence of a background magnetic field, ALPs and photons can interconvert. We could detect ALPs by searching for photon to ALP conversion. For example, photons produced by point sources in or behind galaxy clusters may convert to ALPs in the cluster's magnetic field. This could lead to observable spectral anomalies. Using this strategy, we place world leading bounds on the ALP-photon coupling. One potential signal of dark matter is an anomalous line in the spectra of galaxies and galaxy clusters. In 2014, an anomalous line was found at an energy of 3.5 keV. The nature and cause of this line is still under discussion. We analyse a scenario in which the 3.5 keV line arises from dark matter decay to ALPs, which interconvert with 3.5 keV photons in astrophysical magnetic fields. We further report an anomalous deficit at 3.5 keV in the spectrum of the Active Galactic Nucleus at the centre of the Perseus galaxy cluster. This motivates the study of a new model in which both features are caused by âfluorescent dark matterâ which resonantly interacts with 3.5 keV photons. We analyse observations of Perseus at 3.5 keV to date, and show that they are well explained by this model. Further theoretical and experimental work is needed to discover or exclude fundamental physics effects in X-ray spectra.

Abstract:

A large MULANA based analysis package, written in FORTRAN, for computing the cross section for proton - nucleus collisions at 400 GeV/c momentum from data taken in experiment E609 at FNAL, was implemented on a Z-386, 16 MHz microcomputer workstation featuring an 80 Mbyte hard drive, and a three Gbyte 8-mm Exebyte tape drive, based in the Ball State High Energy Physics Laboratory, in a feasibility study of conducting such analysis on a workstation as a viable alternative and/or adjunct to the Ball State University VAX system. One of 40 large 1600 bpi 9-track data tapes from Experiment 609 provided the data file for the computation. The analysis package was first run on the VAX system. Special problems solved in connection with using the software package included converting the large data file to a suitable form for use at the workstation, transporting that file from the VAX to the workstation, modifying the VAX FORTRAN software package for implementation in the OS/2 workstation operating system environment, and graphical exposition of the results. With the results of conducting the analysis on the VAX system serving as a benchmark, it was determined first that the quantitative analysis results were identical, second, that computing times were similar, and third that the workstation provided unique conveniences. Overall, the results showed that the workstation is a reasonable alternative to using the VAX for High Energy Physics analysis work but also suggest the attractiveness of using similar but faster workstations in the near future.

Abstract:

The production of the neutral strange particles Λ, Λ[bar] and K⁰_s at HERA has been studied with the ZEUS detector, using an integrated luminosity of 121pb^-1 . Differential cross-sections are measured in a High Q² DIS sample (Q² ≥ 25GeV²), a Low Q² DIS sample (5 ≤ Q² ≤ 25GeV² ) and a photoproduction sample. The photoproduction sample has Q² <= 1GeV² and at least two jets that satisfy E_T^jet > 5GeV and |η^jet| < 2.4. Cross-sections are measured as a function of the particle P_T and η, and additionally as a function of the event Q² and x in the DIS samples, and as a function of x_γ in the photoproduction sample. The DIS cross-sections are compared to the ARIADNE Monte Carlo, which broadly describes the data. The photoproduction cross-sections are compared to PYTHIA, where the agreement is less good, particularly at low x_γ. The baryon-antibaryon asymmetry, defined as (Λ-Λ[bar])/(Λ+Λ[bar]), is measured and always found to be consistent with zero, indicating little transfer of the Baryon Number from the beam proton to the Λ system in the detector region. The polarization of Λ and Λ[bar] is measured and also found to be always consistent with zero, indicating that there is no preferred frame in Λ production. The baryon-meson ratio (Λ + Λ[bar])/K⁰_s is studied, and is found to generally agree with ARIADNE in DIS, but give an excess over PYTHIA in photoproduction. The excess is particularly prominent at low x_γ in events with no clear jet structure. This is interpreted as hadron production in this region depending on a more-than-one-dimensional overlap of quark wave functions. An excess of strangeness in this region at low x_γ with no high E_T jets would be significant. It is investigated by taking the ratio of strange particles to charged tracks but no excess is seen.
