  1. BEACH2018 The XIII International Conference on Beauty, Charm and Hyperon Hadrons Peniche, Portugal Study of charm hadroproduction & Tau neutrino production at CERN SPS A.Murat GÜLER METU Ankara On behalf of the DsTau Collaboration A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  2. Physics Motivations • Tau neutrinos are the least known particle in the Standard Model. • Testing the lepton universality in ντ CC cross section • ντ cross section was measured with a large uncertainty • Important for future neutrino experiments, SHiP, DUNE, Hyper-K.. A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  3. Concept of ντDetection ντ ντ detection ντ τ X Proton beam ντ production ντ detection: • Statistical uncertainty 33% in DONUT. ντ Primary proton X Ds τ ντ D+ Main ντ source: Ds →  decays produced in proton interactions  No experimental data on differential cross section of Ds  Large systematic uncertainty (~50%) in the ντ flux prediction X' A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  4. DONuT Experiment ντ CC cross section where n is the parameter controlling the longitudinal part of the Ds differential cross section “Final tau-neutrino results from the DONuT experiment”, Physical Review D 78, 5 (2008) transverse dependence longitudinal dependence 9 ντ CC events observed A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  5. DsTau Experiment • Emulsion based experiment @ CERN SPS • Precise mesurement of ντ CC cross section • Aiming to detect 103 Dsτ 0.05 A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  6. Emulsion detectors AgBr crystal 1014crystals in a film Highest position resolution Emulsion film Cross-sectional view Emulsion layer (44 m) Plastic base (200 m) 200 nm Emulsion layer (44 m) 3D tracking device Sensitivity36 grains/100 m 10GeV/c  beam 20 m A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  7. High precision measurement Piezo objective scanner σx = 50nm θ 200 μm base Position reproducibility ~ 8 nm Angular reproducibility ~ 0.15 mrad Beam angle • Intrinsic resolution of each grain = 50 nm • Two grains on top and bottom of 200 mm base  0.35 mrad • Discrimination of 2 mrad at 4σ level • A new system with piezo-based Z axis under development • Angular measurement reproducibility of 0.15 mrad was achieved A.

  8. A pion Interaction in Emulsion 3D Vector information, position and slope . Tracking by 35 nm position resolution. m.i.p and nuclear fragment is easily distinguished

  9. Detector Structure 400 ECCs will be exposed to accumulate 2.3x108 interactions ECC for momentum measurement (26 emulsion films interleaved with 1 mm thick lead plates) 10 units (total 100 emulsion films) Proton Tungsten / molybdenum τ X Ds D+ X’ A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  10. Detection of Ds → τ → X event Kink angle of Ds <θ> 7 mrad Need high precision measurement! Flight length of Ds Flight length of τ <FL> = 3.3 mm <FL>=2.0 mm The analysis chain: 1) Tag X decay (mean ~100 mrad) 2) Perform high precision measurement to detect Ds decay A. Murat GÜLER@METU

  11. Ds momentum reconstruction • Difficult to measure Ds momentum directly due to short lifetime • Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using 4 variables Measure xFdistribution Δp/p= 18% Fit to (1-|xF|)n n = 5.8 Primary proton ΔθDs → τ Ds τ Δθτ →X FLDs FL τ FL: flight length Δθ: kink angle A.
