Search for R-Parity Violating SUSY particles
HERA Luminosity Upgrade 7X Increase 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 Sept 2000-July 2001 50 x 185 m -> 30x110 m a factor of 2.8
HERA II-Luminosity Upgrade Problems Shifts Started September 2000 ZEUS and H1 Plagued with Beam Backgrounds - synchrotron radiation back scatter off beam pipe Y - p beam gas - electron beam gas 2001-2002 understand these backgrounds Jan 2003-June 2003 shutdown Improve vaccuum Rebuild collimators Redo absorbers and coatings Luminosity Run Starts Sept. 29
With 7X Luminosity New Physics Analyses will be Possible ! ZEUS Detector Upgrades - Silicon Vertex Chamber - Straw Tube Tracking Chambers Fast Clear will be Important With 7X Luminosity New Physics Analyses will be Possible !
Physics with Polarized Beams
Sea Quarks well Measure, Valence Quarks Statistically Limited
Future ZEUS has produced quality physics in the last twelve years HERA has completed a major luminosity upgrade problems are being worked on The Ohio State Group worked to understand accelerator backgrounds The Ohio State Group had continued to analyze new data during the shutdown With the new luminosity this group will continue to study high Q2 high x physics
