η素介子总宽度的确定

Determination of the total width of the eta-prime meson

E. Czerwinski

摘要:

这项工作的目的是确定η素介子的总宽度。所研究的介子是COSY同步加速器的质子束与氢团簇靶的质子碰撞中pp-> ppeta-prime反应产生的。COSY-11探测器用于测量出射质子的四动量矢量。未登记介子的质量是通过质量缺失技术确定的,而总宽度直接来自于在五个不同的束流动量下建立的质量分布。对关键参数(如靶流的大小和位置)的并行监测和接近阈值的测量允许获得FWHM = 0.33 MeV/c^2的质量分辨率。根据2300多个pp-> ppeta-prime事例的重建样本,确定了η-prime介子的总宽度为0.226 ± 0.017(统计)± 0.017(统计)。0.014(系统)MeV,这是迄今为止最精确的测量。

英文摘要:

The aim of this work was to determine the total width of the eta-prime meson. The investigated meson was produced via the pp->ppeta-prime reaction in the collisions of beam protons from COSY synchrotron with protons from a hydrogen cluster target. The COSY-11 detector was used for the measurement of the four-momentum vectors of outgoing protons. The mass of unregistered meson was determined via the missing mass technique, while the total width was directly derived from the mass distributions established at five different beam momenta. Parallel monitoring of the crucial parameters (e.g. size and position of the target stream) and the measurement close-to-threshold permitted to obtain mass resolution of FWHM = 0.33 MeV/c^2. Based on the sample of more than 2300 reconstructed pp->ppeta-prime events the determined total width of the eta-prime meson amounts to 0.226+-0.017(stat.)+-0.014(syst.) MeV, which is the most precise measurement until now.
