Multiplicity Fluctuations and Bose-Einstein Correlations in DIS at HERA
Results of the recent studies of the multiplicity fluctuations and
Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at large
Q are reviewed. The measurements were done with the ZEUS detetor at HERA.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures in eps, talk given at XXXI International Symposium

Short-Range and Long-Range Correlations in DIS at HERA
Correlations in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA are investigated in order to test perturbative QCD and quark fragmentation universality. Two-particle correlations at small angular separations are measured in the Breit frame and compared to e+e- collisions. Also presented are the correlations between the current and target regions of the Breit frame
Production of Z0 bosons in elastic and quasi-elastic ep collisions at HERA
ArtĂculo escrito por un elevado nĂșmero de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboraciĂłn, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAMThe production of Z0 bosons in the reaction ep âeZ0 p(â), where p(â) stands for a proton or a lowmass nucleon resonance, has been studied in ep collisions at HERA using the ZEUS detector. The analysis is based on a data sample collected between 1996 and 2007, amounting to 496 pbâ1 of integrated luminosity. The Z0 was measured in the hadronic decay mode. The elasticity of the events was ensured by a cut on ηmax < 3.0, where ηmax is the maximum pseudorapidity of energy deposits in the calorimeter defined with respect to the proton beam direction. A signal was observed at the Z0 mass. The cross section of the reaction ep â eZ0 p(â) was measured to be Ï(ep â eZ0 p(â)) =0.13 ± 0.06(stat.) ± 0.01(syst.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.16 pb. This is the first measurement of Z0 production in ep collisionsWe appreciate the contributions to the construction and maintenance of the ZEUS detector of many people who are not listed as authors. The HERA machine group and the DESY computing staff are especially acknowledged for their success in providing excellent operation of the collider and the data-analysis environment. We thank the DESY directorate for their strong support and encouragemen
Measurement of the t Dependence in Exclusive Photoproduction of ΄{hooked} (1S) Mesons at HERA
The exclusive photoproduction reaction Îłpâ΄{hooked} (1S)p has been studied with the ZEUS detector in ep collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb -1. The measurement covers the kinematic range 6
Search for Single-top Production in ep Collisions at HERA
A search for single-top production, epâetX, has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.37 fb -1. No evidence for top production was found, consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model. Limits were computed for single-top production via flavour changing neutral current transitions involving a neutral electroweak vector boson, Îł or Z. The result was combined with a previous ZEUS result yielding a total luminosity of 0.50 fb -1. A 95% credibility level upper limit of 0.13 pb was obtained for the cross section at the centre-of-mass energy of âs=315 GeV. © 2012 Elsevier B.V
Measurement of Charged and Neutral Current e-p Deep Inelastic Scattering Cross Sections at High Q2
Deep inelastic e-p scattering has been studied in both the charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) reactions at momentum transfers squared Q(2) above 400 GeV2 using the ZEUS detector at the HERA ep collider. The CC and NC total cross sections, the NC to CC cross section ratio, and the differential cross sections d sigma/dQ(2) are presented. From the Q(2) dependence of the CC cross section, the mass term in the CC propagator is determined to be M(W) = 76 +/- 16 +/- 13 GeV
Measurement of the Luminosity in the ZEUS Experiment at HERA II
The luminosity in the ZEUS detector was measured using photons from electron
bremsstrahlung. In 2001 the HERA collider was upgraded for operation at higher
luminosity. At the same time the luminosity-measuring system of the ZEUS
experiment was modified to tackle the expected higher photon rate and
synchrotron radiation. The existing lead-scintillator calorimeter was equipped
with radiation hard scintillator tiles and shielded against synchrotron
radiation. In addition, a magnetic spectrometer was installed to measure the
luminosity independently using photons converted in the beam-pipe exit window.
The redundancy provided a reliable and robust luminosity determination with a
systematic uncertainty of 1.7%. The experimental setup, the techniques used for
luminosity determination and the estimate of the systematic uncertainty are
reported.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figure
Luminometer for the future International Linear Collider - simulation and beam test results
LumiCal will be the luminosity calorimeter for the proposed International
Large Detector of the International Linear Collider (ILC). The ILC physics
program requires the integrated luminosity to be measured with a relative
precision on the order of 10e-3, or 10e-4 when running in GigaZ mode.
Luminosity will be determined by counting Bhabha scattering events coincident
in the two calorimeter modules placed symmetrically on opposite sides of the
interaction point. To meet these goals, the energy resolution of the
calorimeter must be better than 1.5% at high energies. LumiCal has been
designed as a 30-layer sampling calorimeter with tungsten as the passive
material and silicon as the active material. Monte Carlo simulation using the
Geant4 software framework has been used to identify design elements which
adversely impact energy resolution and correct for them without loss of
statistics. BeamCal, covering polar angles smaller than LumiCal, will serve for
beam tuning, luminosity optimisation and high energy electron detection.
Secondly, prototypes of the sensors and electronics for both detectors have
been evaluated during beam tests, the results of which are also presented here.Comment: Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics 2011, Chicago, IL,
