WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Background sources in PEP-II  Synchrotron radiation  Synchrotron radiation (this bkg negligible in PEP-II)  Beam-gas (bremsstrahlung + Coulomb)  HEB only: B Hbg ~ I H * (p H 0 + P H Dyn * I H ) Note: p 0 = f(T) !  LEB only: B Lbg ~ I L * (p L 0 + P L Dyn * I L ) Note: p 0 = f(T) !  beam-gas x- term: B LHbg ~ c LH * I L * I H (LEB+HEB, out of collision) (?)  Luminosity (radiative-Bhabha debris) – major concern as L   B P ~ d P * L (strictly linear with L)  Beam-beam tails  from LER tails: B L, bb ~ I L * f L (  L,H +/- )  from HER tails: B H, bb ~ I H * f H (  L,H +/- )  Trickle background: B Li, B Hi  Trickle background: B Li, B Hi (injected-beam quality/orbit + beam-beam)  Touschek: B LT  Touschek: B LT (signature somewhat similar to bremsstrahlung; so far small)

4 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Beam Gas Background Illustration Beam-gas bremsstrahlung reduces the energy of the incoming electrons and positrons. The separating dipoles bend some of these into the detector along the horizontal plane. K S p production vertices from a pentaquark search e-e- e+e+ J.Coleman and W.Dunwoodie

5 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Luminosity background e + e -  e + e -  elm shower debris neutrons! no contribution from coasting HEB or LEB may dominate DCH, DIRC rate

6 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Neutrons A high rate of neutrons is generated from radiative Bhabha interactions. These neutrons are believed responsible for DCH electronics radiation upsets at a rate of 2/hour. A small fraction of these alter the electronics behavior, and data acquisition must be paused to re- configure the electronics. J. Va’vra More Luminosity Background

7 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Background characterization measurements Step 1: Beam-current scans  single-beam terms Data: Jan 04

8 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 SVT occupancy (FL1 M01-  ) EMC cluster multiplicity Beam-beam term present in all subdetectors fluctuations, short - & long-term  parametrization optimistic ? Step 2: L & beam-beam terms Total occupancy -HER single beam - LER single beam

9 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Step 3: Background Parametrizations  DCH example: total current & occupancies Step 4: Background Extrapolations I DCH = 60 L Given PEP projections for HER, LER currents and luminosity, estimate detector impact (occupancies, dose) and data acquisition required performance. Predictions are valid in the absence of abnormal vacuum activity. Should repeat characterization when PEP-II reach is extended.

11 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Injection- & trickle- background history HER injection-quality monitor LER LER injection-quality monitor Monitor by integrating SVTRAD diode signals over 12 ms after each injection SVT electronics are sometimes “upset” by exposures greater than 50 mrad / injection.

16 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Tracking efficiency expected to drop by roughly 1% per 3% occupancy Observed significant drop in yields for run4 data. Validation review is underway to investigate run4 yields and correlate with background and other factors DCH LER contribution very small Impact on tracking

18 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 BaBar Efforts to Improve Backgrounds  We continue to develop background monitors that are useful to the operators (low latency, fast updates) for tuning the accelerator { injection dose, occupancies }  Background simulation efforts target possible improvements { beam-beam collimation, sensitive vacuum regions }  Analysis of events which disrupt PEP operation { aborts, vacuum bursts }

23 M. WeaverB-Factory Operations Review April 24, 2006 Summary  Vacuum problems and consequent incursions have impacted PEP performance and background levels.  Characterization experiments allow understanding of background sources and enable us to predict impact of future conditions. A new set of experiments is planned.  Future expected trigger rates of 5 kHz are nearing the edge of data acquisition performance and have no allowance for worsened conditions (would like to have 7 kHz performance). Historicly, we’ve seen thermal outgassing episodes that push background beyond expectatations.  We need to continue working with PEP experts to monitor and control background levels.
