  4. Introduction A possibility to accelerate high-intensive polarized proton beam up to 70 GeV at the IHEP U70 accelerator, extract it from the main ring and deliver to several experimental setups is being studied now in Protvino. We propose to study a wealth of single- and double-spin observables in various reactions using longitudinally and transversely polarized proton beams at U70. March 1-2, 2005 – Workshop on polar70 at IHEP. Over120 people participated. The IHEP management charged the polar70 working group to prepare the report for SPIN-2005 workshop in Dubna.

  9. AN and ANN in elastic scatteringBig effects in the previous experiments

  10. Experimental setup SPIN@U70 at IHEP(channel 8 at U70)

  11. Measurements of Polarization in pp-elastic scattering at SPIN@U70 • Both particles, forward and recoil protons will be detected by scintillation hodoscopes (forward arm) and drift chambers (recoil arm). • Beam intensity up to 1012 protons/spill. • Particle identification will be performed by Cherenkov counters and additionally by a time-of-flight technique in the recoil arm. • Accuracies to be achieved in the AN measurements : - less than 1% for pT2 up to 6 (GeV/c2) for 200 hours at beam ; - 3% for 10 (GeV/c2) and 6% for 12 (GeV/c2) for 600 hours at beam.

  12. Single spin asymmetry in inclusive pion production E704 result at 200 GeV There are several recent results of such a big asymmtery – 1) E925 at BNL at 22 GeV 2) PROZA in Protvino at 40/70 GeV 3) STAR at RHIC at s=200 GeV

  13. Theoretical approaches to explain big single-spin asymmetry in inclusive hadron production • Sivers: spin and kcorrelation ininitial state (related to orbital angular momentum?) • Collins: Transversity distribution function & spin-dependent fragmentation function • Qiu and Sterman (initial-state) / Koike (final-state) twist-3 pQCD calculations • Usually we have combinations of these three effects in a particular experiment and special technics are required to separate them from observed asymmetries.

  14. FODS – Focusing double arm spectrometer (channel 22 at U70) The channel shielding allows to get a beam intensity up to 1010proton/spill, FODS setup up to~109proton/spill.

  15. Particle ID at FODS Hodoscope photomultipliers are used to detect the Cherenkov light rings. Charged hadron identification in the momentum range of 6 GeV/c ≤ р ≤ 30 GeV/c

  16. Single spin measurements which can be done at FODS * Precise measurements of AN in inclusive production of charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons at hydrogen and nuclear targets– big xT, to separate PT and XF asymmetry dependence, the measurements at several angles are needed (might be done in the range of 10-1300 in c.m.) * AN in symmetric hadron pair production symmetric pairs (+-,etc. )– hadrons produced in the c.m. with about the same momenta and moving in the opposite sides; for these processes kT0 and there is no Sivers effect; if АN≠0 – possible explanation might be an orbital moment ? * Polarization in elastic pp-scattering. * AN in Drell-Yan muon pairs no fragmentation (q+q →l+l) –no Collins effect, AN in р↑рmight be significant if valence quark angular momentum contributes, to suppress hadrons, additional absorbers in each arm will be installed)

  17. Spin parameters in hyperon production * Miscellaneous spin parameters (A,DNN,ALL)in-hyperon production can be detectedat the experimental setup SVD (channel 22 at U70). * The mass spectra of -hyperons at SVD  * More than 200,000 -hyperons were detected over one month of data taking with a beam intensity of 0.5*106 protons/sec. * -hyperons are very well detected in the beam fragmentation region where big spin effects are expected. * Asymmetry in -mesonproduction * Spin effects in strange hadron production - role of strange quarks in the spin structure of nucleon ?

  18. Experimental setup SVD C1,C2-beam scintillation and Si hohoscopes; C3,C4 – target station and vertex Si detector; 1,2,3 – drift tubes (tracking detector) ; 4 – proportional chambers (magnet spectrometer); 5 – threshold Cherenkov counter; 6- scintillation hodoscope; 7 -  -detector

  20. Transverse double-spin asymmetry in Drell-Yan pairs – transversity distribution • One of the first measurements of the transversity distributionhq1(x,Q2) of the valence quarks and sea anti-quarks in the transversely polarized proton ; • Measure the transverse double spin asymmetryATTin the Drell-Yan production of muon pairs ; • Luminosity of p↑p↑ - interactions is about 1035 cm-2s-1 ( compare to 1031 -1032 cm-2s-1 for PAX at GSI or for RHIC) ; • Existing “Neutrino Detector (ND)” setup at U70 – make absorber smaller (5 m instead of 70m), put polarized target in front of the absorber and use the muon detector of the ND setup ; * Acceptance for the Drell-Yan muon pairs is close to 100% .

  21. Transversity distribution in the proton * In proton-proton interactions one measures the product of two transversity distributions, one for a quark and one for antiquark (both in a proton). At U70 energies 50-70 GeV one expects measurements at x1x2 = M2/s => for 50 GeV, M=1.5-3 GeV/c2, x1x2 = 0.02-0.09 ; for 70 GeV, M=1.5-3 GeV/c2, x1x2 = 0.015-0.06 => this leads to the constraint on the quark and antiquark proton content . * The region 1.5 < M < 3 GeV/c2 is free from resonances and can be exploited to access hq1(x,Q2) via Drell-Yan processes.

  22. Estimated number of Drell-Yan events For a beam intensity of 1011 p/spill at a polarized target and 30 days at beam, the estimated number of the Drell-Yan muon pairs to be detected by the ND setup is as follows : Mass of -pair, MeV/c2 number of DY events 1.5 180,000 1.75 50,000 2.0 24,000 For Polbeam = 0.7 and Poltarget = 0.8 with Dilution Factor =4, the ATT errors in these bins are expected to be in the range of (2-4)%.

  23. Transversity – experimental difficulties • The scheme of the experiment is as follows –> polarized beam interacts with polarized target , then absorber and finally muon detector to detect Drell-Yan muon pairs (beam-dump experiment). • The hadronic background can originate from decays of charged pions and kaons before reaching the absorber and from hadrons penetrating the material (punch-through). • The polarized target will be a major effort; with a 20cm long target, at5T the requirement's on a magnet are severe. Also the energy generated by the beam at 10^11 p cm^-2 is> 1 joule/spill. The microwave power required is also substantial ~40mW/gm, again assuming 140 GHz -> 5 T. So we will need a very substantial pumping system for the highest intensity beams.

  24. Transversity – conclusion Kinematics in three Transversity projects (for Drell-Yan pair masses from 1.5 to 3 GeV/c2 ): 1) RHIC(BNL) – > τ = x1 x2 = 0.004-0.02 ; 2) U70 – > τ = x1 x2 = 0.02-0.09 . 3) PAX at FAIR(GSI) – > τ = x1 x2 = 0.07-0.3 ; 4) First resultsontransversity from hydrogenanddeuteriumare published by HERMES and COMPASS. The different kinematics makes FAIR, RHIC and U70 really complementary in the transversity measurements

  25. Longitudinal double-spin asymmetry in Charmonium production • We propose to simultaneously measure the double-spin asymmetry ALL for inclusive 2 , 1 and J/ by utilizing the 70 GeV/c longitudinally polarized-proton beam on a longitudinally polarized target. • Our goal is to obtain besides the quark-spin information also the gluon-spin information from these three processes in order to determine what portion of the proton spin is carried by gluons. • Gluon contribution into the proton spin as well asstrange quarks and orbital momentum contributions - worldwide studies at HERMES, COMPASS, RHIC, JLAB, SLAC. • We propose a new experiment in this field – should be complimentary to the existing experiments.

  26. (DS)  G+ L Physics Motivation Proton Spin: Quark spinGluon SpinAngular momentum It has been determined, through polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments, that the quarks alone can not account for the spin of the proton (i.e. DS is less than 0.3) To account for the spin of the proton, either the gluons are polarized and/or there are significant contributions to the protons spin from the orbital motion of its constituents.

  27. Requirements on beam intensity Information about gluon polarization might be obtained through simultaneous measurements of ALLin inclusive production of2 andJ/ . This experiment was proposed at Fermilab (P838)at200 GeV as a continuation ofE704.The Fermilab’s PAC pointed out that physics is extremely interesting , but an intensity of the polarized proton beam from -hyperon decays was small – the statistics would not be enough. The experiment was rejected. In our new proposal for U70 we expectinstead of 2.7*107/min (P838) to have up to 4 · 108 /min (factor 15!). In this report we use some estimates for 70 GeV on the base of the estimates which were done for P838 at 200 GeV.

  28. Charmonium production mechanisms in hadronic interactions The hadronic production of the  states involves three parton fusion diagrams : (c) - gluon fusion(a); - light quark annihilation (b); - color evaporation (c). (a) (b)

  29. Parton distributions in proton Parton distributions (at =3.5 GeV, close to the masses of -states) in the 70 GeV proton  see Figure (Alekhin-2005) - valence u-quarks (blue) ; - valence d-quarks(green); - sea quark/antiquarks (red) ; - gluons (black) Estimate shows that at 70 GeV the contributions of gluon-gluon fusion and quark-antiquark annihilation to produce charmonium with a mass of 3.5 GeV in pp-interactions are comparable.

  30. Goals of the experiment The goal is to measure double-spin asymmetry ALL with the use of longitudinally polarized beam and target in the following processes : p + p  -> 2 + X и p + p  -> J/+X J/ +  e+ e-  e+ e-  J/(3096) JPC = 1-- 1 (3510) JPC = 1++ 2 (3555) JPC = 2++

  31. Double spin asymmetry ALL The measured experimental asymmetry is given by ALL = [ 1/(PB * PTeff)] * [ I(++) – I(+ –)] / [ I(++) + I(+ –)], wherePB is the beam polarization, PTeff – effective target polarization , I(++) ,I(+–)are the number of events normalized to the incident beam. The helicity states (++) and (+–) correspond to () and () respectively , where arrows indicate the beam and target spin direction in the laboratory system. Theoretical predictions of ALL mainly depend on two assumptions : 1. gluon polarization ∆G/G and 2. charmonium production mechanism which defines ÂLL at the parton level (in parton-parton interaction)

  32. Gluon polarization in different models In the proposed experimentх ~0.3, where ∆G/Gin different theoretical models is in the range between 0.15 and 1. In Gluon fusion model : ALL (xF) = ÂLL * [ ∆G / G (x1) * ∆G / G (x2) ], where ÂLL = -1. [Doncheski, Robinet] : ALL is negative for 2andJ/ In Colour evaporation model [Contogouris] ALL is positive for2 andJ/

  33. Experimental setup might be assembled at channel 24(former channel 7) at U70 Open geometry experiment. Main parts : electromagnetic calorimeter, proportional chambers, trigger hodoscope

  34. Geometrical acceptance to detect  at 70 GeV Simulations were made for 70 GeV : • must be in the lead tungstate array and e+e- from the J/ -decay are at any place in the combined calori- meter

  35. Electromagnetic calorimeter To separate1 (3510 МэВ) and 2(3555 МэВ) the energy resolution of the calorimeter is critical, especially for decaying . According to the decay kinematics of2, the ’s are effectively detected at very forward angle (<100 мрад). If the calorimeter is placed at~4.5м from the target, the central part of the calorimeter (from~10 up to~100 mrad) has to consist of 1140 lead tungstate crystals (2,8×2,8 × 22 cm3) – an array of 34х34 with a hole of 2x2in the middle for non-interacted beam. To cover a big angle region from ~100 up to~200 mrad, we need toadd1875 Pb-glass counters with a cross section of 3,81× 3,81cm2-an array of 50х50 with a hole in the middle of 25х25 to placePWO-crystals. Such combined calorimeter will cover the region of2production хF from 0 up to 0.4 (see the next slide).

  36. The xF-distribution of the accepted 2-events.

  37. 1 / 2 separation Monte-Carlo for 200 GeV. The J/mass is reconstructed – the e+,e- energies are measured by Pb-glass calorimeter, the angles are measured by the proportional chambers. Resolution is 75 MeV/c2. The momenta of e+ and e- are constrained to give exact J/(3096 MeV) mass by scaling the energies of e+ and e-, while keeping the e+ e- angles unchanged. The e+e- momenta thus constrained are combined with the momentum of the  on the PWO to calculate the 2 mass. Resolution () is less than 10 MeV/c2. -

  38. Proportional chambers and the trigger • The proportional chambers placed between the target and the calorimeter serve to track e+ and e- particles and assure that there are no charged tracks in the  direction. • Trigger on J/ with the pT signals of e+ and e- . Super-blocks in calorimeter – pT for super-block. The scintillator-pad hodoscope containing 100 pads is placed 3.3 m from the target ( 1 m in front of the EM calorimeter ) to tag the charged particles. The size and position of each scintillator pad corresponds to each calorimeter super-block. • The trigger requirements : - 2 or more electron candidates which have pT (super-block) > 0.6 GeV and have hits on the corresponding separate scintillator pads; -  рT(super-block) of the electron candidates being greater than 2.5 GeV. 88% of J/’s detected in Pb-glass and PWO calorimeters satisfy these requirements (see next slide).

  39. The pT correlation between e+ and e- from 2 decays

  40. Trigger rate and background *The trigger rate estimated by Monte-Carlo simulations is ~ 200 events/spill for 6*107protons/spill (spill beam duriation is 2 sec). ~ 35% by electrons from -conversion; ~ 65% from charged hadrons overlapped with ’s within the super-block. * Background for J/- charged hadrons. (hadron pairs – low masses; rejection by lateral shower profile ) For J/ background is ~10% (hadrons and conversion electrons) For 2 background is ~10% ( J/ +  from 0 ) see Figure

  41. Expected sensitivity in ALL for charmonium The Р838 estimate was1640 2/monthand 9200 J/monthfora beam intensity of 2,7*107protons/min. Assuming factor 1/3 in cross section decrease (from 200 GeV down to 70 GeV) and factor 15 in intensity rise, the overall merit factor is 5. We expect 8200 2/month and 46000 J//month. We expect to get a precision of  (ALL) = 0.075 for 2 and 0.025 for J/for one month of data taking.

  42. Conclusions • To accelerate the polarized proton beam in the existing U70 up to 70 GeV with intensity up to 5*1012 protons/spill and polarization up to 70%, the following main tasks need to be completed : - polarized proton source up to 20 mA ; - one snake to be installed in the 1.5 GeV booster ; - equipment from three straight sections (4.6 m each) to be removed; - three partial snakes to be installed in the U70 main ring ; - correction of the U70 vertical orbit down to ±1 mm; - absolute (polarized jet target) and relative polarimetry. • Acceleration of the p beam at U70 gives a brand new opportunity for high energy spin physics in the new kinematic region. The presented spin program includes five miscellaneous sets of measurements : - polarization in elastic scattering ; - single spin asymmetry in inclusive charged hadron production ; - miscellaneous spin parameters in hyperon production ; - transversity in Drell-Yan muon pairs ; - double-spin asymmetry in charmonium. • The results will be complementary to those which might be obtained at COMPASS, HERMES, RHIC, JLaB, GSI and JPARC.
