Investigating if streak camera measurements align with luminous size, considering prediction variations and calibration corrections in BaBar experiment data analysis.

Are streak-camera bunch length measurements consistent with the observed luminous size? • Principle: compare • longitudinal luminosity distribution L(z) measured by Babar • L(z) prediction using • measured b*x, y (phase advance data in LER & HER) • assumed ex,y (highly insensitive) • LER & HER bunch lengths measured using the streak camera • Data sets • streak-camera MD (A. Fisher + R. Holtzapple, June 04) • BaBar luminous-region data (BaBar ODF group) W. Kozanecki & B. Viaud

Summary • The raw longitudinal luminosity distribution was compared to the theoretical distribution, using phase-advance measurements for the b functions, and streak-camera data for the bunch lengths. • If one takes the streak-camera measurements at face value, the data are systematically narrower than the prediction, even before correcting for the z-centroid variation along the bunch train. • If one assumes that the streak camera calibration overestimates both bunch lengths by 15%, the data appear systematically wider than the prediction. Correcting for the z-centroid variation along the bunch train, would improve the agreement. This suggests the actual bunch lengths lie somewhere between these two extremes. • If one assumes that the streak camera correctly measures the ratio (but not the absolute scale) of the LER & HER bunch lengths, this provides an additional constraint to extract individual bunch lengths from the longitudinal luminosity distribution. • A better understanding of the SVT acceptance & z-resolution are required to improve the agreement between measured & predicted luminosity distributions.
