Fermilab E906/Drell-Yan: Kick-off

1. Fermilab E906/Drell-Yan:Kick-off Don Geesaman Argonne National Laboratory

2. E906 • It has been a long time since we have been together. • Lots of new faces • FNAL is now willing to move • Lots of details that must be settled • This meeting is to get everyone in gear and moving together

4. Measurements and origins of the sea quarks: d-bar/u-bar d ¹ · ¸ ( ) d p 1 ¾ x 1 + ¼ ( ) 2 2 p p ¹ ¾ u x • Drell-Yan allows for selective study sea quarks. • In a fixed target experiment, kinematics, acceptance and parton distributions combine to select interactions dominated by annihilations of antiquarks in the target. • What is the structure of the nucleon? • What is d-bar/u-bar? First large-x measurement of sea quarks. • What are the origins of the sea quarks? • What is the high-x structure of the proton? Drell-Yan measures beam valence parton distributions at very high-x with no nuclear corrections! • CTEQ and MRST want these data!!

5. E906/Drell-Yan Timeline • 2001: Approved by Fermilab PAC —scheduling deferred until other fixed target experiments could also be ready to run. • 2005-06: Scheme to run E906/Drell-Yan with minimal impact on Neutrino production developed. No need for major fixed target run. • 2006: Fermilab PAC re-endorses wisdom of 2001 PAC. • 2007: DOE/Nuclear Physics begins funding spectrometer upgrade • 2007: Fermilab estimates cost (to Fermilab) to stage E906 at $1.5M in M&S [plus $1.5] manpower. Requests collaboration obtain additional funding to cover the M&S cost. • 2008: Additional institutes join collaboration, taking responsibility for some of Fermilab’s tasks, and promise to provide additional money to Fermilab for E906/Drell-Yan infrastructure. • 2008: Spectrometer redesign promises reduces cost, savings in DOE/Nuclear Physics money may be transferred to Fermilab. We believe we have identified sufficient resources to run E906. However, with 2008 and 2009 continuing resolutions it still needs to be nailed down with MOU.

6. Spectrometer Redesign: Solid Iron Magnet • Replace 1st open aperture magnet with solid iron magnet • Motivation: Cost--coils for open aperture magnet would have cost ≈1.5M • Solid iron magnet can be assembled from: • Existing magnet coils from SM3 • Existing Iron blocks from SM12 • New tracking chamber at Sta. 3 for better acceptance • KEK, Kyoto, RIKEN, Tokyo Tech • New readout electronics • Academia Sinica, Ling-Tung Univ. • Add target expertise (UM2) • Add gas system SM12 Iron SM3 Coil Concrete absorber& support

7. Kinematics, Energy loss and multiple scattering • What we want is x2>0.4 and positive xf Remember at xf=0, x2 = (m/s1/2), so M ~ 6-7 GeV In 189 inches of Fe These muons multiple scatter by 0.272/Pmu ~9 mr Ytarget resolution of 2 cm In 189” of saturated Fe = 3.3 GeV Pt kick 30 Gev muons bend by 110 mr. They lose ~ 7.3 GeV with a sigma of 0.8 GeV Ytarget resolution of 1.5 cm This defines resolution and scattering angle acceptance But both multiple scattering and energy loss have large non-gaussian tails.

8. Energy loss fluctuations

9. Monte Carlo of New Design Effect on Experiment (Monte Carlo): • Acceptance increased at large-x2 • Larger fiducial volume of magnet • Decreased acceptance at low-x2 • Resolution degraded by additional energy loss and multiple scattering • Experimental goals still achievable Expected statistical uncertainty x2 Resolution for x2 > 0.35 x2 Resolution Mass Resolution (GeV) Note additional events at large-x2.

10. Collaboration and Funding Additional collaborating institutions (since 2006 proposal): • KEK, Kyoto, RIKEN, Tokyo Tech—Station 3 Tracking; substantial funding of “common” equipment (e.g. beam line and magnets) • Academia Sinica, Ling-Tung Univ.—modern readout electronics via FPGA. • Maryland, Michigan—cryogenic targets These groups have agreed to take on key tasks for the E906/Drell-Yan experiment and demonstrate continued interest in this experiment Funding • DOE/Nuclear Physics has agreed to fund the spectrometer upgrade • Initial funds received in FY07. • With new design, funds can now be “reprogrammed” to Fermilab for infrastructure (e.g. beam line, etc.) needed for experiment. • Japanese collaborators have indicated they expect to contribute significantly toward Fermilab infrastructure as well. • We believe that we have found sufficient resources to cover Fermilab’s M&S costs for E906. In order to proceed, an MOU detailing Fermilab’s and collaboration’s responsibilities is needed. • Fermilab task force is currently reviewing costs in preparation for this MOU

11. Funding Model • DOE NP • FNAL Common items $400k FY07, $200K FY08, $200k FY09 • Stations 1 WC (Colorado) • Hodoscopes (ACU) • LANL LDRD • Station 4 prop tubes • NSF • Gas system • Trigger • RIKEN • $500k • Station 3 chambers

12. Goals for this meeting • Confirm this concepts works • Confirm funding model • Path to finalize geometry • Establish standards • Procedures and Units • Software • ? • Agree on Schedule • Make sure we know all issues for MOU • What else do we need to do?
