Combined Partial Wave Analysis for the description of exclusive production
The production of p K+ {\Lambda} in elementary p + p collision was
investigated using the Bonn Gatchina Partial Wave Analysis framework. This
approach allows the determination of possible participating production wave
depending on the quantum numbers of the system. For the analysis seven data
samples, measured at different detectors and beam energies, were used.For the
extraction of the p{\Lambda} scattering length a cross check with established
methods is required. Furthermore the total cross section of the production
process is needed to be determined to extra cross section for the separate
waves. Both methods are described in this work.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Interpretation of transverse tune spectra in a heavy-ion synchrotron at high intensities
Two different tune measurement systems have been installed in the GSI
heavy-ion synchrotron SIS-18. Tune spectra are obtained with high accuracy
using these fast and sensitive systems. Besides the machine tune, the spectra
contain information about the intensity dependent coherent tune shift and the
incoherent space charge tune shift. The space charge tune shift is derived from
a fit of the observed shifted positions of the synchrotron satellites to an
analytic expression for the head-tail eigenmodes with space charge.
Furthermore, the chromaticity is extracted from the measured head-tail mode
structure. The results of the measurements provide experimental evidence of the
importance of space charge effects and head-tail modes for the interpretation
of transverse beam signals at high intensity
