6. Frascati, 19/01/06F. Anulli - INFN road map6 Electron tagging  Electrons emitted preferentially at small angles  Most of them depart from the main beam orbit after several meters  However, they behave differently w.r.t. the nominal beam when going through magnets, because of lower energy  A tagging system can be conceived only taking into account the constraints imposed by the design of the machine lattice  Interaction with accelerator group to optimize acceptance in specific regions  Careful evaluation of machine backgrounds (mainly radiative Bhabha events) - Collect scattered electrons bent by the Split Field Magnet - SAT located at ~8.5m from the IP - Beam pipe shaped to allow electrons to escape - Quads and sextupoles with large horizontal aperture IP ~5m Small angle Tagging (SAT) system proposed for Da  ne (1994) SAT 0 <  e < ~20 mrad 250 < E e < 450 MeV E beam = 510 MeV B Z = 0.17 T

9. Frascati, 19/01/06F. Anulli - INFN road map9 W  vs Tagging Scheme  Tagging at very small angles introduce a cut on the minimun energy for tagged electrons  cut on the maximum photon energy  cut on the high side of the invariant mass spectrum, especially for double small angle tag  problems if working at  peak, need to add a relatively large-angle tagging

10. Frascati, 19/01/06F. Anulli - INFN road map10 Conclusions   physics can be successfully exploited at the energy range covered by DAFNE2 (1 <  s < 2.4 GeV), with some advice: It is not clear that the much higher hadronic background can be fully suppressed with kinematic cuts A tagging system would clean up the selected samples  E b = 510 MeV Very few channels available Precise measurements of radiative   and  widths, and  cross section at threshold If working at  peak, tagging is necessary, reducing the available phase space  study of the  (400÷600) over the full width looks problematic.  E b = 1200 MeV Very interesting physics program. M  up to 1 GeV/c 2 can be reached, giving access to  f 0, a 0, It should also allow a precise study of the  →     channel Single tagging would not cut the invariant mass spectrum Small yield reduction, but possible full background suppression
