CHARMONIUM AT

1. Agnes Lundborg Uppsala University Sweden CHARMONIUM AT Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

2. Background • We thought that we understood charmonium quite well. Positronium of QCD, medium heavy quarks, potential model, narrow states. Perfect laboratory! • In the last few years the B-factories and CLEO-c have been making unexpected discoveries. BESIII is coming up. E835 and Crystal Barrel are done. • PANDA as next generation (2011) • What, why and how can PANDA do better?

3. Proton-antiproton versus electron-positron Formation The two particles fuse into the intermediate state. Production The state is reached through decays or nonresonant production. Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

4. E835 Typical resolution in production Crystall Ball e+e- Resolution of nonvector charmonium depends on the detector. B-factories and other current e+e- experiments (BES, CLEO-c) Typical resolution in formation Proton-antiproton E835 Energy spread in beam CBall, Edwards et al. PRL 48 (1982) 70 E835, Ambrogiani et al., PRD 62 (2000) 052002 CBall 100 cc1 1000 CBall ev./2 MeV E 835 ev./pb ECM 3500 3510 3520 MeV Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

5. ECM Scanning mode Discovery in production and precision measurement in scanning. Important for: cross section shape measurements Precision measurements on mass and widths both at resonance-energies and two-meson thresholds. Resonance shape (Breit Wigner?) Measured cross section Beam momentum profile Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

6. HESR at FAIR High Energy Storage Ring Storage ring for p High density target pellet ,cluster jet, wire High luminosity mode stochastic cooling High precision mode Electron cooling to 8 GeV Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

7. QCD conceptually allows for states where gluons contribute to the quantum numbers • Calculation flux-tubemodel, latticeQCD, bag-model, constituent gluonmodel. • Observations in the light quark sector: • Exotic qn. 1-+ • Hybrid? • Difficult to identify in the light quark sector, many overlapping states which mix. • Charmonium energy region • Light quark form a structureless continuum with few heavier states on top. • A spin exotic can be seen in production but not formation and would then immediately be identified as interesting. • Model independently! Without a complicated formalism! Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

8. A possibleexotic charmonium hybrid channel: Production mode JPC=1-+ Nonrelativistic decay: charmquarks stay as they are. Gluonic excitation goes into a light scalar. Final state: 7 photons! 1 lepton pair! We need: 1 Excellent calorimeter with full angular range coverage. Lowest energy charmonium hybrid (spin-exotic) [C.Bernard, Phys.Rev. D56 (1997) 7039] [F.E. Close, Phys. Rev. 1998] [P.R. Page, Acta Phys. Polon. 1998] [P. Page, Phys Lett.B402(1997)] [UKQCD, McNeile, Phys. Rev. D56(2002)] Good experimental tag! Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

9. We need an excellent: Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) Almost -acceptance barrel plus endcaps Compact material (PWO, BGO) Granularity (Molière radius) Low threshold tens of MeV Readout inside magnetic field: APD Also high energy photons GeV 22 radiation lengths of crystal Timing 1 ns – triggering And high count rate (10 annihilations per s) Radiation hardness (less radiation than CMS) Last thing to solve: High resolution requires a large light output! Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

10. Cooperation with manufacturers in Bogoroditsk and Shanghai working with doping and crystal growth processes has produced better crystals. Third generation PWO with much larger light yields and therefore better resolution. But that is not enough! Cooling gives overall good performance. Already at acceptable resolutions!

11. Charmonium production Complicated QCD process! Only theoretical guideline PCAC for only one channel. Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

12. Use experimental data [A.Lundborg, T.Barnes, U. Wiedner PRD73 (2006) 096003.] It’s a kinematical extrapolation, not very far.. We know this decay width… Width proportional to Dalitz area Integrate We want to know this cross section. Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT

13. Results Constant amplitude? First estimates. Cross section in the order between 10 pb to 1 nb 200 to 20 000 events per day. Background 10 000 000 events per second. Agnes Lundborg QWG workshop Brookhaven June 2006 CHARMONIUM AT
