Asymmetry measurement of charged hadron production in pA collisions at 40 GeV

The single spin asymmetry of charge hadron production by a 40 GeV/c proton beam with 39% transverse polarization incident on nuclei (C, Cu) has been measured using the Focusing Double Arm Spectrometer (FODS). The measurements were carried out for hadrons with high Xt (82 deg. in c.m.) and with high Xf (one arm at 51 deg. and the other arm at 99 deg. in c.m.). The results are presented for charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons with high Xt.

Studies of the Response of the Prototype CMS Hadron Calorimeter, Including Magnetic Field Effects, to Pion, Electron, and Muon Beams

We report on the response of a prototype CMS hadron calorimeter module to charged particle beams of pions, muons, and electrons with momenta up to 375 GeV/c. The data were taken at the H2 and H4 beamlines at CERN in 1995 and 1996. The prototype sampling calorimeter used copper absorber plates and scintillator tiles with wavelength shifting fibers for readout. The effects of a magnetic field of up to 3 Tesla on the response of the calorimeter to muons, electrons, and pions are presented, and the effects of an upstream lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter on the linearity and energy resolution of the combined calorimetric system to hadrons are evaluated. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and are used to optimize the choice of total absorber depth, sampling frequency, and longitudinal readout segmentation.
