  10. Study of p pbar production at VEPP-2000 Picture of expected event Goal– measurement of proton e.m. FF at threshold, 1 – significant improvement of accuracy, 2 – separation between GMand GE , 3 – confirm rise of both FFs at threshold, 4 – search of resonant structure GEANT p pbar DC trigger efficiency P pbar z-distribution (MC) Estimates of statistics at threshold : Instant luminosity – - 0.1/(nb.sec) Time – 107 sec Integrated luminosity - 1/fb Cross section - 0.7 nb Detection efficiency – 0.15 Number of events: 105 GE /GM – with 5% of statistical accuracy, 10 bins N Nbar at VEPP-2000

  11. Detection of antineutrons at VEPP-2000 Picture of expected event Goal– measurement of neutron e.m. FF at threshold, 1 – significant improvement of accuracy, 2 – separation between GMand GE , 3 – confirm rise of both FFs at threshold, 4 – search of resonant structure MC accuracy of angle measurement, s~7-10o Estimates of statistics at threshold : Instant luminosity – - 0.1/(nb.sec) Time – 107 sec Integrated luminosity - 1/fb Cross section - 0.7 nb Detection efficiency – 0.15 Number of events: 105 GE /GM – with 5% of statistical accuracy, 10 bins N Nbar at VEPP-2000

  12. Antineutron interaction with detector material General comments: - the antineutron annihilation length ~ 15 cm is ~calorimeter thickness 35 cm - neutrons and antineutrons have similar interaction lengththe detection efficiency of n nbar events is close to 100% Detection efficiency =aTrRec , where a = annihilation probability, Tr= trigger efficiency 0.8 Rec= reconstruction eff.  0.5 The detection efficiency at T=10 MeV:  0.3 - 0.4 N Nbar at VEPP-2000

  15. Background in n nbar process Physical background e+ e--> KSKL, 0.1nb e+ e--> KSKL0, 1nb   e+ e--> 0->00, 0.1 nb   e+ e--> ,->neutrals,10 pb   e+ e--> hadrons->neutrals,<0.1   e+ e--> 4,5, (QED),0.1 nb For comparison e+e-->n nbar cross section 1 nb The most physical background comes from the reactions with production of KL. KLinteractions and decays in flight look similar to nbar because they give ‘stars’ outside the detector center. 3 types of background: • Cosmic background: • - they are suppressed by cosmic • veto system; • the survived events can fake • the n nbar events; • time measurements can separate • the effect from cosmic background • Beam background: • is inverse proportional to the beam • life time • can be monitored by measurements • with one beam in the ring; • can be suppressed by nbar • annihilation time measurements N Nbar at VEPP-2000

  16. Example of suppression of physical background for n nbar in SND (MC) e+e->n nbar Event momentum cut e+e->KsKL Conclusion: effective suppression of physical background by ~ 2 ordersis possible using event momentum vs event energy distribution e+e->KsKlp0 e+e->wp0 Event energy N Nbar at VEPP-2000

  18. Conclusions 1. VEPP-2000 can produce ~105 ppbar and nnbar events per year at the threshold region 2E<2000 MeV. This exceeds by 2-3 orders the world statistics of e+en nbar process. 2. The ppbar events can be detected by pbar annihilation star in beam pipe. The GE/GMratio can be obtained from the star z-coordinate distribution 3. SND calorimeter can be used as efficient antineutron detector. Time measurements in NaI(Tl) option is considered to improve events selection and suppress background (physical, beam and cosmic) .
