HERA Luminosity - First Interaction Beam Vaccum graded P Energy GeV 1997
O.S.U. Physics Analysis Structure Function and High Q 2 Camille Ginsburg, Physics Coordinator Contact Interactions Jason Gilmore, Thesis Inclusive D * Photoproduction Cross Section C.L. Kim, Main Analysis Total Photoproduction Cross Section Camille Ginsburg, Main Analysis
N.C. Dependence on - clear evidence for Z exchange in spacelike DIS
Death of a Leptoquark
Photoproduction HERA basically is 2 colliders in one ! For low Q 2 a nearly real photon exchange P Collider E GeV W GeV Weizacker-Williams corrects to ‘real’ photon
Summary - NLO calculation below data particularly in forward direction - Fragmentation agrees with other experiments D * Fragmentation Function

HERA has NOT Met Lumiosity Expectations Quotes Circa 1987 “ 100 pb -1 /ZEUS YEAR” “ the MC Contains 1000 pb -1 worth of data” HERA Luminosity Upgrade 7X Increase 10 Months Shutdown Starting Sept improve beampipe vaccuum - install short focusing quad near interaction region
ZEUS Detector Upgrades - Silicon Vertex Chamber - Straw Tube Tracking Chambers Fast Clear will be Important With 7X Luminosity New Physics Analyses will be Possible !
With 1000 pb -1 this will be a Precsion Measurement ! Extraction of xF 3 xF 3 parity violating term from Z 0 exchange
Physics with Polarized Beams
Future ZEUS has produced quality physics in the last eight years HERA is undergoing a major luminosity upgrade beginning in September The Ohio State Group will continue to analyse new data during the shutdown With the new luminosity this group will continue to study high Q 2 high x physics
