J/ψ production in p+p and p+Pb collisions at ultrarelativistic energies

The production of J/ψ mesons in p+p and p+Pb collisions is studied in the framework of color-glass condensate together with a simple color evaporation model.Considering the nuclear effects with the Glauber–Gribov approach,we calculate the cross section and the nuclear modification factor of forward J/ψ production in p+Pb collisions at s^(1/2) 5:02 TeV.Then,the backward J/ψ production in p+Pb collisions at s^(1/2) 8:16 Te V is also analyzed.In our calculation,the phenomenology KLRAd S/CFT model and the rc BK approach,which are valid at a small x,are used to calculate the three-point function.It is shown that the theoretical results fit well with the experimental data from ALICE and LHCb.

Design, assembly, and pre-commissioning of cryostat for 3W1 superconducting wiggler magnet

One of the most important devices for the High Energy Photon Source Test Facility project,the 2.6 T 32-pole 3W1 superconducting wiggler,was designed by the Institute of High Energy Physics(IHEP);its magnetic gap is 68 mm,and its storage energy is 286 kJ.It will be installed at the storage ring of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider Upgrade Project at the IHEP to replace the old permanent wiggler.The primary purpose of the cryostat is to create a safe and reliable system and realize long-term operation with zero liquid helium consumption.To maintain liquid helium temperature,four identical two-stage cryocoolers are placed symmetrically at the wiggler ends.The cryostat has only one 60 K thermal shield,which is used to reduce the heat load to the liquid helium vessel.The cryostat has several novel features,including a suspension system with little heat leakage that is self-centered during cooling of the cryostat,a special copper liner and high-efficiency condensers,three pairs of binary current leads,and three-level safety design.The cryogenic system has been cooled three times,and the residual cooling capacity is approximately 0.41 W at 4.2 K without current.

High energy and high brightness laser compton backscattering gamma-ray source at IHEP

Based on the LINAC of BEPCII, a high-polarized, high bightness, energy-tunable, monoenergetic laser compton backscattering (LCS)gamma-ray source is under construction at IHEP. The gamma-ray energy range is from 1 MeV to 111 MeV. It is a powerful and hopeful researchplatform to reveal the underlying physics of the nuclear, the basic particles and the vacuum or to check the exist basic physical models, quantumelectrodynamic (QED) theories. In the platform, a 1.064 mm Nd:YAG laser system and a 10.6 mm CO_(2) laser system are employed. All the triggersignals to the laser system and the electron control system are from the only reference clock at the very beginning of the LINAC to make sure thetemporal synchronization. Two optical transition radiation (OTR) targets and two charged-couple devices (CCD) are used to monitor and to alignthe electron beam and the laser beam. With the LCS gamma-ray source, it is proposed to experimentally check the gamma-ray calibrations, thephoton-nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and some basic QED phenomena.

Superconducting multipole wiggler with large magnetic gap for HEPS-TF

A 16-pole superconducting multipole wiggler with a large gap of 68 mm was designed and fabricated to serve as a multipole wiggler for HEPS-TF.The wiggler consists of 16 pairs of NbTi superconducting coils with a period length of 170 mm,and its maximum peak field is 2.6 Tesla.In magnet design,magnet poles were optimized.Furthermore,the Lorentz force on the coils and electromagnetic force between the upper and lower halves were computed and analyzed along with the stored energy and inductance at different currents.To enhance the critical current of the magnet coil,all the pole coils selected for the magnet exhibited excellent performance,and appropriate prestress derived from the coil force analysis was applied to the pole coils during magnet assembly.The entire magnet structure was immersed in 4.2-K liquid helium in the cryostat cooled solely by four two-stage cryocoolers,and the performance test of the superconducting wiggler was appropriately completed.Based on the measured results,the first and second field integrals on the axis of the superconducting wiggler were significantly improved at different field levels after the compensation of the corrector coils.Subsequently,the wiggler was successfully installed in the storage ring of BEPCII operation with beams.

System design and measurements of flux concentrator and its solid-state modulator for CEPC positron source

Positron sources are one of the most important components of the injector of a circular electron positron collector(CEPC).The CEPC is designed as an e^(+)e^(−)collider for a Higgs factory.Its accelerator system is composed of 100-km-long storage rings and an injector.The design goal of the positron source is to obtain positron beams with a bunch charge of 3 nC.The flux concentrator(FC)is one of the cores of the positron source.This paper reports the design,development,and measurements of an FC prototype system.The prototype includes an FC and an all-solid-state high-current pulse modulator.Preliminary tests show that the peak current on the FC can reach 15.5 kA,and the peak magnetic field can reach 6.2 T.The test results are consistent with the theoretical simulation.The FC system fulfills the requirements of the CEPC positron source as well as provides a reference for the development of similar devices both domestically and abroad.

Prompt photon production in proton–nucleus collisions at LHC:a comparison among color dipole models

The nuclear modification factor for prompt photon production in proton-nucleus collisions is investigated within color dipole formalism.By means of the Glauber-Gribov approach,the nuclear effects are studied in various rapidity bins with the evolution equation-based saturation models and the phenomenological dipole models.The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data provided by PHENIX,ATLAS and CMS Collaborations.At forward rapidity and midrapidity,a reasonable agreement with the experimental data is shown for the theoretical results with the modified Kharzeev,Levin and Nardi model,and the Kowalski and Teaney model.Then,we analyze the influence of the initial state energy loss effect on the nuclear modification factor and find that it is obvious only at backward rapidity together with small pT.Finally,the theoretical results are also compared with those of JETPHOX Monte Carlo program and the predictive results for the LHCb at very forward rapidities are presented.
