The 1998 DOE posters

The plots will be put here as the finalized versions become available.
The text and captions are exactly from the poster. Words like (sigma)
(pion) indicate that the Greek letter was printed.

Title: E781 Goals
Text:

Comprehensive Study of Weak Decay Systematics
1. Precision comparision of lifetimes of all four stable states.
2. Semi-leptonic decay comparison for all stable states.
3. Uniform Dalitz plot analysis capability for most states.
4. Excellent particle ID for Cabibbo-suppressed modes.
Strong Interaction Characteristics
1. Compare production by (sigma)- and (pi)- beams:
A-dependence vs. xF
2. Measure excited state characteristics.
3. Search for polarization effects.
Primakoff Physics
1. Search for hybrid meson states qqg.
2. Measure hadron EM structures (form factors,
radiative width, polarizability).
Search for Exotic States
1. Doubly-charmed baryons or penta-quarks.
2. Production of narrow, massive baryons from (sigma)- beam.

Title: Momentum-Independent Mass Resolution
Plot: D0 mass resolution versus D0 momentum postscript

Title: Excellent (pi)/K/p Identification
Text: Strong particle identification (RICH, TRD, Pb glass) for hadrons and electrons will reduce systematics in decay physics analyses.
Plot: ETRD, pions and electrons postscript
Caption: Left plot is tracks identified by the RICH as pions. Right plot is tracks consistent with electrons, identified by either the RICH or photon.

Radiator: 10m long with neon gas
Photocathode: 2848 phototubes
Mirror: 16 hexagon shaped spherical mirrors
Performance:
1. Mean number of photons detected per ring = 14
2. N0 = 104/cm
3. Ring radius resolution = 1.2%
Results were published in FERMILAB-Conf-97/210-E and will be submitted to NIM

Poster 3 Title: Charm Characteristics

Title: Example (lambda)c Event
Text: This event has a 650 GeV (sigma)- beam track which interacts in the last carbon target. The primary vertex is drawn, with the beam track and five outgoing tracks. The secondary vertex is a 380 GeV (lambda)c (xF=0.6) that decayed 2.2 cm downstream of the primary vertex, into a 154 GeV proton, 153 GeV kaon, and a 74 GeV pion. All three decay tracks are identified in the RICH detector.

Poster 4 Title: Preliminary Analysis Results

Title: Baryon Beams Make Baryons, Not Anti-Baryons
Caption: For the top row, yellow plots are (lambda)c+, the blue plots are (lambda)(bar)c-.
Plot: Fernanda's plots of particle production for sigma, pion, and proton postscript
Caption: For the bottom row, yellow plots are D-, the blue plots are D+.
Text: Charm production by (pi)-, (sigma)- and p beams at 650 GeV show significant differences in particle/antiparticle ratios. The baryon preference is very large for baryon beams. We expect to contribute significantly to the understanding of charm hadroproduction.

Title: Expected Precision Lifetime Measurements
Plot: Uncorrected lifetime resolution for D0 early version postscript
Text:

1. Sample: L/(sigma) > 8, no decays in material, uncorrected for acceptance
2. Simple exponential curve - (chi)(squared)/ndof = 39.1/25
3. Proper time resolution <= 25 fsec.

Text: A preliminary D0 lifetime study demonstrates excellent proper-time resolution (~ 25 fs) in large xF production. We expect to contribute to charm lifetime analyses, especially for the short-lived states.

Title: What's Next
Text:

1. Complete the analysis code for the charm-strange baryons.
2. Establish the final SELEX yields.
3. Understand SELEX trigger issues to decide if there is a physics case to run again in 1999.
