  1. Overview of ANDY L.C.Bland Brookhaven National Laboratory BNL Review of the ANDY Proposal 30 March 2012

  2. Where is the spin of the proton? e.g.INT Workshop INT-12-49W Orbital Angular Momentum in QCD 6-17 February 2012 • Proton characterized by basic properties of mass, spin, size, … • Global fits to Parton Distribution Functions find that ~50% of the momentum of the proton is carried by gluons • Polarized deep inelastic scattering finds that quarks account for only ~1/3 of the proton spin: DS=0.33  0.03 (stat)  0.05 (syst) d’Hose (INT, 2012) • RHIC spin addresses this question • Overall, RHIC is addressing the role of color AnDY Overview

  3. arXiv:0901.2828 STAR RHIC Spin (2006) HighlightsNew insights from RHIC after 30 years of polarized deep inelastic scatteringWhere is the spin of the proton? PRL 101 (2008) 222001 If not from gluons, then is the spin from orbital motion? Gluon polarization is not large… AnDY Overview

  4. Why polarized Drell Yan? Best answer: RBRC workshop in May, 2011 had 31 talks and ~80 participants from all over the world due to the intense interest in measuring transverse SSA, and other aspects, for Drell-Yan production John Collins, in his Workshop Summary, concluded with these words… AnDY Overview

  5. Attractive vs Repulsive Sivers Effects Unique Prediction of Gauge Theory ! Simple QED example: Drell-Yan: repulsive DIS: attractive Same inQCD: As a result: Transverse Spin Drell-Yan Physics at RHIC (2007) http://spin.riken.bnl.gov/rsc/write-up/dy_final.pdf AnDY Overview

  6. Why ANDY? AnDY Overview

  7. Modeling an Experiment • Run-11 goals… • What is the impact of a third IR on polarized proton operations at RHIC? • Can the hadron calorimeter planned for ANDY be robustly calibrated? AnDY Overview

  8. Run-11 ANDY Trigger/DAQ electronics Left/right symmetric HCal Left/right symmetric ECal Blue-facing BBC Left/right symmetric preshower Beryllium vacuum pipe AnDY Overview

  9. Impact of Collisions at IP2The anatomy of initiating collisions at IP2 Early after a RHIC store is set up, beams are colliding at IP6 (STAR) and IP8 (PHENIX). Beams are transversely separated at IP2 (ANDY). The arrow indicates when collisions begin at IP2 After the beam intensity decays to a threshold (here, 1.3 1011 ions/bunch), collisions begin at IP2. There is loss of beam in the Yellow ring. The beam loss is monitored. The spikes in the Blue ring are due to insertions of carbon ribbons for measuring the beam polarization. Beam-beam tune shift causes loss of ions in Yellow when collisions begin at IP2. This loss typically decays with time, as shown. Luminosity at IP6 (STAR) and IP8 (PHENIX) is mostly constant when collisions are initiated at IP2 (ANDY). AnDY Overview

  10. Minimal impact on STAR,PHENIX Impact of IP2 Collisions Fri. 8 April 1.501011/bunch IP2 collisions have begun <3 hours after physics ON with minimal impact on IP6,IP8. Adequate luminosity for ANDY (10 pb-1/week for s=500 GeV polarized proton collisions) is projected for subsequent runs. AnDY Overview

  11. HCal Calibration • Reconstruction of p0gg from HCal clusters sets the energy scale of the calorimeter • The mass distribution from data is compared to reconstruction of PYTHIA/GEANT events, and agrees well in shape and magnitude AnDY Overview

  12. 7x7 array of “Yerevan” lead glass from BigCal Shower maximum detector Towards Dileptons from Run-11 • Run-11 configuration was supplemented by loan of 120 detectors from BigCal in October, 2010. • A primary purpose was to establish color-trapping center development in glass at IP2. Transparency before/after run-11 was the same to within 10% • Readout triggered on ECal was a “test trigger” in run-11, but ECal clusters paired with “HCal-EM” clusters have mass extending to >4 GeV/c2. Background dominantly from photon pairs AnDY Overview

  13. Dileptons from Run 11 Data • ANDY profiling methods were applied to a limited data sample (Lint=0.5 / pb) of run-11 ECal triggered data. • Dominant backgrounds are now from g, and are suppressed by using MIP response of beam-beam counters to tag clusters. • Individual detector p0ggcalibration for HCal was an essential step to reconstruct J/ • Limited granularity of BBC and poor position resolution of HCal-EM cluster results in less photon suppression than expected for final ANDY apparatus (project ~100x better suppression) • Hadron suppression is not yet required, but will be in going from dileptons to DY • J/e+e- peak has ~120 events with 5.4s statistical significance. PYTHIA 6.425 with NRQCD expects 420 events in the run-11 acceptance, approximately consistent with observation after crude efficiency correction. From PYTHIA 6.425, DY with M>4 GeV/c2 is 170x smaller in this acceptance. • J/ is a window to heavy flavor via BJ/ K and LbJ/ p p- that would help quantify intrinsic b from proton backgrounds to DY AnDY Overview

  14. Dileptons from Run 11 Data versus Simulation • Compare run-11 mass distribution to model used to make background estimates for DY • Large-mass background found to be well-represented by fast-simulator model in both magnitude and shape AnDY Overview

  15. ANDYRun-13 elements and their purpose • ECal – primary detector for detecting dielectrons • HCal – hadron rejection • Preshower – hadron rejection and photon/electron discrimination • Tracking – the value of accurate space points / deflections through magnet • DY relative to reducible backgrounds • DY relative to irreducible backgrounds AnDY Overview

  16. Goal of ANDY Project GEANT model of proposed ANDY apparatus (run-13) Projected precision for proposed ANDY apparatus Measure the analyzing power for forward Drell-Yan production to test the predicted change in sign from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering to DY associated with the Sivers function AnDY Overview

  17. arXiv:0906.2332 Proposed ANDY ECal • 1596-element TF1 lead-glass calorimeter borrowed from JLab, with return date of July, 2014 • ECal dimensions are driven by optimizing the acceptance for forward DY production • ANDY ECal has similar scope to earlier projects completed by the proponents • Full GEANT response of ~18X0 and ~1 hadronic interaction length glass can be parameterized for fast simulation of detector response

  18. HCal Side View ECal Top View Proposed ANDY HCal • Primary purpose of ANDY HCal is to veto hadrons that deposit DE=fE in ECal, by observing (1-f)E in HCal • Full GEANT simulations of ECal+HCal show 82% hadron rejection with 99% electron retention. • Uses existing E864 detectors (117-cm long / 47x47 scintillating fiber matrix embedded into lead) •  Proposed run-13 configuration requires borrowing 60 additional detectors from PHENIX AnDY Overview

  19. ANDY Preshower • HCal rejection of hadrons that deposit f>0.7 of their energy in ECal is not very effective • A preshower+converter detector upstream of the ECal rejects 86% of hadrons while retaining 98% of the electrons and positrons • First component of preshower (prior to converter) is needed for discrimination between photons and electrons. 98% of photons are vetoed here while retaining 98% of electrons • Segmenation of proposed preshower minimizes multiple occupancy in a PS detector AnDY Overview

  20. Tracking + Split-Dipole • Prior experience with ECal shows (x,y) position localization to ~1/10 cell size, or ~4mm. • A single tracking station provides space point of resolution better than 0.2mm  robust zvertex and robust ECal/PS association even without magnet • Split-dipole magnet is planned for RHIC run 14. • Radial deflections through split-dipole result in effective shift of zvertex from tracking, relative to true value, that depends on charge sign • Charge sign discrimination can determine if hadronic backgrounds are suppressed AnDY Overview

  21. Strategy for Estimates • Experience with run-11 analysis, shows that full PYTHIA/GEANT required ~2.5 weeks to generate 0.5 pb-1 of QCD background simulation. • We are exploring the possibility of using NSERC for GEANT simulations. • Until then, use fast simulator, benchmarked to run-11 data • Reducible backgrounds: QCD hadron + photons • Irreducible backgrounds: heavy quarks AnDY Overview

  22. Reducible Backgrounds AnDY Overview

  23. Irreducible Backgrounds AnDY Overview

  24. Projected precision for proposed ANDY apparatus ANDY Projections AnDY Overview

  25. Outlook • Low-x physics at RHIC • There’s more to Drell Yan than just the sign change • There’s more to forward physics than just DY • From RHIC-DY to EIC AnDY Overview
