  1. Status Report of Neutral Kaon Study byNeutral Kaon Spectrometer 2 Masashi Kaneta for the NKS2 Collaboration Department of Physics, Tohoku University Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  2. The experiment • Investigation of strangeness production mechanism • Threshold region of production • No resonance decay • Good for comparison with models • Small cross-section, i.e. high statistics is required • Neutral channel in strangeness photo-production • Past experiments studied by K+ production • Not enough data for g+nK0+L(S0) • Neutral Kaon Spectrometer (NKS) experiment at LNS-Tohoku • Successfully done in 2004 using NKS • Used TAGX spectrometer of INS • Some weak points was found in TAGX • No coverage on forward region • No Stereo wire in Chambers • Now we are on the second stage (NKS2) • New Spectrometer was designed and constructed in 2004-2006 • Runs in Mar., Jun. 2006 by Carbon target Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  4. Tagged Photon Beam at LNS-Tohoku 0 5m Neutral Kaon Spectrometer 2 200 MeV electron beam from LINAC Sweep magnet 1.2 GeV Stretcher-Booster Ring Photon tagging system Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  5. Tagged Photon Beam at LNS-Tohoku • Photon beam • Electron beam on carbon wire • Tagged by electron which has energy loss • E=0.8-1.1 GeV • from 1.2GeV electron beam • 6 MeV coverage per tagging counter Tagger Backup Tagger Finger Radiator Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  7. Detector Setup g + n K0S + X p+ p- To measure 3720 mm • 680 magnet • Dipole magnet with 0.42 T • 800mm radius of the pole • Target • Natural Carbon • Liquid deuteron • Inner Hodoscope Outer Hodoscope • Trigger counter • Time of flight measurement • Straw Drift Chamber Cylindrical Drift Chamber • Tracking (momentum) • Decay vertex finding • Electron veto counter (EV) • e+e- background suppression 1700 mm  beam Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  8. Inner Hodoscope 680 Magnet Straw Drift Chamber g beam Outer Hodoscope Electron Veto Cylindrical Drift Chamber Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  9. Run Summary • Two weeks for the run 2006-June • Natural Carbon target • Finished with no physical injury • 2/3 of time is used for setup • to make counters ready • to make efforts of noise reduction • to fix some troubles of DAQ and chamber readout • to re-wiring to fix wires loosed • Trigger study and data taking • 4 days for trigger study • ~11 hours for data taking • Useful data • ~2.7 x 106 events • Number of K0S estimated = ~10 Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  10. Particle Identification • PID by 2D cut on TOF vs. momentum plot • TOF between Inner Hodoscope and Outer Hodoscope • Momentum is reconstructed by hits on CDC and SDC charge sign  momentum [GeV/c] 1/b Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  11. Tracking • Track is reconstructed from hits on CDC and SDC Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  12. V0 Vertex Distribution On beam plane [cm] Counts / bin Vacuum pipe window stays ~50cm from Carbon target Beam direction [cm] Beam direction [cm] With opening angle cut: -0.9<cosq<0.8 Counts / bin Beam direction [cm] • Main background is e+e- pair produced by air • Opening angle cut works to remove background in off-line analysis • Huge number of background in data... • Vacuum pipe was short • Now (Sep. 2006), the window stays at ~20 cm from the target for incoming run Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  13. Summary • We have finished the construction of Neutral Kaon Spectrometer 2 (NKS2) • The commissioning run was carried out • Used carbon target • There were many troubles.., however • Finally we could move to data taking stage • Analysis • the code is ready to use • same with NKS • need to have more work for calibration • Ready to long run for data taking Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大

  14. Outlook • Construction • 2004~2005 • Commissioning • 2006, Mar. and Jun. • Carbon target • Detector start-up • Trigger Study • Some modification of detectors after run • 2006 Sep • Trigger Study with longer vacuum pipe • Physics data taking with Carbon target • Deuteron target run • 2 weeks/month over 5 months Masashi Kaneta, Tohoku Univ. 日本物理学会2006年秋季大会　於 奈良女子大
