    This document describes the contents of the Liquid Argon Hadronic EndCap (HEC) Production Database. At the time of the PRR (Production Readiness Review), the groups responsible for the production of the LAr HEC components and modules were required to provide a detailed plan as to what data should be stored in the production database and how the data should be accessed, displayed and queried in all reasonable foreseeable circumstances. This document describes the final database

    Liquid Argon HEC Wheel Assembly Database

    Get PDF
    This document describes the details of the contents of the LAr Hadronic EndCap Wheel Assembly Database. This database contains the important data from the wheel assembly: mechanical alignment, electrical properties, cabling, and a summary of the readout gap failures. This document describes the final database that is intended mainly for archival purposes. This database should be viewed in conjunction with the HEC module production database that describes the modules that form the wheel and the Feedthrough database that describes the signal feedthroughs. This wheel database lists for instance the location of the modules, the amplifiers to which they are connected, and the details of the alignment measurements. It also details all non-conformances. It is important that for all non-conformances, whether they occurred during wheel assembly or in the B180 cold tests, that a single table be produced of all the non-conformances listing the non-conformance in a format suitable for making offline corrections to the data. This non-conformance table will be derived from a set of queries of this database

    I=2 ππ\pi\pi Scattering Phase Shift with two Flavors of O(a)O(a) Improved Dynamical Quarks

    We present a lattice QCD calculation of phase shift including the chiral and continuum extrapolations in two-flavor QCD. The calculation is carried out for I=2 S-wave ππ\pi\pi scattering. The phase shift is evaluated for two momentum systems, the center of mass and laboratory systems, by using the finite volume method proposed by L\"uscher in the center of mass system and its extension to general systems by Rummukainen and Gottlieb. The measurements are made at three different bare couplings ÎČ=1.80\beta = 1.80, 1.95 and 2.10 using a renormalization group improved gauge and a tadpole improved clover fermion action, and employing a set of configurations generated for hadron spectroscopy in our previous work. The illustrative values we obtain for the phase shift in the continuum limit are ÎŽ\delta(deg.) =−3.50(64)= - 3.50(64), −9.5(30) - 9.5(30) and −16.9(64) - 16.9(64) for s(GeV)\sqrt{s}({\rm GeV}) =0.4=0.4, 0.6 0.6 and 0.8 0.8, which are consistent with experiment.Comment: 40 page

    On the precision of chiral-dispersive calculations of ππ\pi\pi scattering

    We calculate the combination 2a0(0)−5a0(2)2a_0^{(0)}-5a_0^{(2)} (the Olsson sum rule) and the scattering lengths and effective ranges a1a_1, a2(I)a_2^{(I)} and b1b_1, b2(I)b_2^{(I)} dispersively (with the Froissart--Gribov representation) using, at low energy, the phase shifts for ππ\pi\pi scattering obtained by Colangelo, Gasser and Leutwyler (CGL) from the Roy equations and chiral perturbation theory, plus experiment and Regge behaviour at high energy, or directly, using the CGL parameters for aas and bbs. We find mismatch, both among the CGL phases themselves and with the results obtained from the pion form factor. This reaches the level of several (2 to 5) standard deviations, and is essentially independent of the details of the intermediate energy region (0.82≀E≀1.420.82\leq E\leq 1.42 GeV) and, in some cases, of the high energy behaviour assumed. We discuss possible reasons for this mismatch, in particular in connection with an alternate set of phase shifts.Comment: Version to appear in Phys. Rev. D. Graphs and sum rule added. Plain TeX fil

    The Inverse Amplitude Method in ππ\pi\pi Scattering in Chiral Perturbation Theory to Two Loops

    Get PDF
    The inverse amplitude method is used to unitarize the two loop ππ\pi\pi scattering amplitudes of SU(2) Chiral Perturbation Theory in the I=0,J=0I=0,J=0, I=1,J=1I=1,J=1 and I=2,J=0I=2,J=0 channels. An error analysis in terms of the low energy one-loop parameters lˉ1,2,3,4,\bar l_{1,2,3,4,} and existing experimental data is undertaken. A comparison to standard resonance saturation values for the two loop coefficients bˉ1,2,3,4,5,6\bar b_{1,2,3,4,5,6} is also carried out. Crossing violations are quantified and the convergence of the expansion is discussed.Comment: (Latex, epsfig) 30 pages, 13 figures, 8 table

    Pion Mass Effects in the Large NN Limit of \chiPT

    Get PDF
    We compute the large NN effective action of the O(N+1)/O(N)O(N+1)/O(N) non-linear sigma model including the effect of the pion mass to order mπ2/fπ2m^2_{\pi}/f_{\pi}^2. This action is more complex than the one corresponding to the chiral limit not only because of the pion propagators but also because chiral symmetry produce new interactions proportional to mπ2/fπ2m^2_{\pi}/f_{\pi}^2. We renormalize the action by including the appropriate counter terms and find the renormalization group equations for the corresponding couplings. Then we estudy the unitarity propierties of the scattering amplitudes. Finally our results are applied to the particular case of the linear sigma model and also are used to fit the pion scattering phase shifts.Comment: FT/UCM/18/9

    A global fit of ππ\pi\pi and πK\pi K elastic scattering in ChPT with dispersion relations

    Get PDF
    We apply the one-loop results of the SU(3)L×SU(3)RSU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R ChPT suplemented with the inverse amplitude method to fit the available experimental data on ππ\pi\pi and πK\pi K scattering. With esentially only three parameters we describe accurately data corresponding to six different channels, namely (I,J)=(0,0),(2,0),(1,1),(1/2,0),(3/2,0)(I,J)=(0,0), (2,0), (1,1), (1/2,0), (3/2,0) and (1/2,1)(1/2,1). In addition we reproduce the first resonances of the (1,1)(1,1) and (1/2,1)(1/2,1) channel with the right mass corresponding to the ρ\rho and the K∗(892)K^*(892) particles.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures available on request, FT/UCM/10/9

    S-wave Meson-Meson Scattering from Unitarized U(3) Chiral Lagrangians

    Get PDF
    An investigation of the s-wave channels in meson-meson scattering is performed within a U(3) chiral unitary approach. Our calculations are based on a chiral effective Lagrangian which includes the eta' as an explicit degree of freedom and incorporates important features of the underlying QCD Lagrangian such as the axial U(1) anomaly. We employ a coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation to generate poles from composed states of two pseudoscalar mesons. Our results are compared with experimental phase shifts up to 1.5 GeV and effects of the eta' within this scheme are discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure

    Another look at ππ\pi\pi scattering in the scalar channel

    Full text link
    We set up a general framework to describe ππ\pi\pi scattering below 1 GeV based on chiral low-energy expansion with possible spin-0 and 1 resonances. Partial wave amplitudes are obtained with the N/DN/D method, which satisfy unitarity, analyticity and approximate crossing symmetry. Comparison with the phase shift data in the J=0 channel favors a scalar resonance near the ρ\rho mass.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, REVTe

    Thermal production of the ρ\rho meson in the π+π−\pi^+\pi^- channel

    Full text link
    Recent measurements of the pi^+pi^- invariant mass distribution at RHIC show a shifted peak for the rho meson in 100A GeV in peripheral Au + Au and even in p + p collisions. A recent theoretical study based on a picture of in-medium production rates of pions, showed that a large shift could result from a combination of the Boltzmann factor and the collisional broadening of the rho. Here we argue that the two-pion density of states is the appropriate quantity if one assumes a sudden break-up of the system. Methods for calculating the density of states which include Bose effects are derived. The resulting invariant mass distributions are significantly enhanced at lower masses and the rho peak is shifted downward by ~ 35 MeV.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
