  1. Charmonium Production with Antiproton - Gas Jet Interactions at FNAL Matteo Negrini University of Ferrara - INFN for the E835 collaboration: Fermilab, Ferrara, Genova, Northwestern, Minnesota, Irvine, Torino ISMD-2003, Krakow, September 5-11, 2003

  2. Why ? • e+e- annihilation  only JPC=1–- states directly formed (J/y and y’) • gg fusion  all C=+ (J1) states directly accessible • B factory • annihilation  all the states directly formed through 2 or 3 gluons intermediate states • Large hadronic background • Detection of EM final states ISMD-2003, Krakow, September 5-11, 2003

  3. FNAL Antiproton Accumulator ISMD-2003, Krakow, September 5-11, 2003

  4. FNAL Antiproton Accumulator • Antiprotons are accumulated until the desired current (~50 mA) is reach. Then they are stochastically cooled and decelerated to the desired energy (continuous beam) • Energy determined from the orbit lengthL and the revolution frequency f • L from reference orbit (LREF) measured at the y’: DL/L ~ 210-6 • f measured with precision: Df/f~ 10-7 • The error on the beam energy measurement is sE50-150 keV • Energy spread after stochastic cooling: sE400 keV.

  5. Hydrogen Gas-Jet Target • Jet of clusterized H2 molecules • Density up to 1-4·1014 atoms/cm3 • Instantaneous luminosity up to 3·1031 cm-2s-1 • Luminosity is measured from elastic at 90° with 3% precision • Interaction region: 557 mm3 ISMD-2003, Krakow, September 5-11, 2003

  6. Experimental technique • Charmonium is formed in the complete annihilation of so the ECM is determined from the beam parameters • The beam energy is moved to scan the resonance • The number of events N of a given final state at energy E is obtained as: • L = instantaneous luminosity • G(E) = beam energy distribution (gaussian) • e = detection efficiency • The resonance cross section is obtained by deconvolution of the measured rate with the beam profile ISMD-2003, Krakow, September 5-11, 2003
