Abstract:

Precise measurements of transverse double spin asymmetries A_NN and A_SS in proton-proton elastic scattering at very small values of four-momentum transfer squared, t, have been performed using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) polarized proton beams. The measurements were made at the center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 200 GeV and in the region 0.003 < |t| < 0.035 (GeV/c)^2 , which was accessed using Roman Pot devices incorporated into the STAR experimental setup. The measured asymmetries are sensitive to the poorly known hadronic double spin-flip amplitudes. While one of these amplitudes, \phi_4 , is suppressed as t \to 0 due to angular momentum conservation, the second double spin-flip amplitude, \phi_2 , was found to be negative and small, but significantly different from zero. Combined with our earlier result on the single spin asymmetry A_N, the present results provide significant constraints for the theoretical descriptions of the reaction mechanism of proton-proton elastic scattering at very high energies.

Paper Conclusions:

In conclusion, we present precise measurements of transverse double spin asymmetries in elastic proton-proton scattering at the CNI region and sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. The experimental uncertainty of the result is about a factor of 10 smaller than that of the previous measurements at the same energy.

Extensive studies were performed to evaluate and reduce systematic uncertainties originating from the relative luminosity and a background asymmetry. A detailed analysis of the data from various detectors and processes was carried out in a search for an optimal monitor of the relative bunch luminosity, which should be insensitive to double spin asymmetries. It led to the choice of the BBC detectors. The background asymmetry is not related to any physics process, but is dominated by accidental coincidences of scattered protons with beam halo particles. This background effect was studied and subtracted using two approaches, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The conservative estimate of the corresponding uncertainty was obtained by comparing the results from both approaches.

The measured asymmetry (A_NN - A_SS )/2 is compatible with zero. On the contrary the values of (A_NN + A_SS )/2 are significantly below zero. Its t-dependence is flat and the absolute values are of the order of 0.005. Our results are at variance, both for the sign and t-dependence, with the latest predictions [4] of the model based on the Regge theory. Using the extracted values of the relative double spin-flip amplitudes r2 and r4 , we conclude that the hadronic double spin-flip amplitudes \phi_2^had and \phi_4^had are different at our kinematic range. This indicates that the exchange mechanism is more complex than an exchange of Regge poles only. This conclusion is further supported by comparing \phi_2^had with the STAR result on the single spin-flip amplitude \phi_5^had [3].

The STAR measurements of the double and single spin asymmetries, with small uncertainties and at high energy, provide important constraints for theoretical models aiming to describe the spin-dependence of elastic scattering.

Version 2 (after Collaboration Review)

Originally from the complete version (http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/yipkin/2012/apr/26/paper-q-a) which includes implementation of a lot of obvious text corrections and  here only those related to "Physics" are included :


Flemming Videbaek :

 
> - Is there a reason that 'transverse' is not in the title of the paper?
 
"Transverse single spin" comes up at the first sentence in the abstract.  We would not like to change the title now.
  
> line 168. I suggest you introduce East and West here rather than later. Also I think downstream is
> ill defined in a collider enviroment.
 

A few persons/groups have made suggestions to this sentence.  Now it's changed to be:

"The Roman Pot stations are located on either side of the STAR interaction point (IP) at 55.5 m and 58.5 m with horizontal and vertical insertions of detectors respectively."
 

> line 197 -- I am a little surprised that the signal spreads over up to 5 strips (500microns). Is that
> reasonable? Do you have a explanation.             Also why not give the S:N values.
 
The text just indicates that the set of thresholds are used mostly to deal with the clusters with a length of 3-5 strips.
 
Concerning your comment on the five strip signal spread, most proton hits involve less, one and two are normal and most common.  A hit of two strips is charge sharing between neighboring strips.
 
There is a simple explanation which is due to delta rays from the dE/dx process.
 
Otherwise, there is also non-negligible electronic coupling between adjacent strips. We saw that already during pp2pp days, very large signals had (energy deposits) caused activity in neighboring channels.
 
Protons can also disintegrate, for example at the entrance window or inside the silicon itself. in some cases this can still lead to a valid hit in case the secondary particles are in the forward direction very close to the original proton's momentum and no veto occurs.
 
> line 225. Is the beam p really know to this accuracy?
 
The fractional error is in the order of 1E-4 is.  We change it to 100.2 GeV/c (instead of 100.22 GeV/c).
 
> Fig 6. Suggest to add in caption that error is stat+syst (as far I can tell).
 
Added a sentence "All error bars shown include both statistical and systematic errors."  at the end of the caption.

Now, we have the transport matrix in both symbols and in real nos. and so L^{eff}_x and L^{eff}_y are clearly defined. 

 


Hal for the Argonne group :

 

> ** l.168  -  maybe change "downstream" -> "away from"??

 

A few persons/groups have made suggestions to this sentence.  Now it's changed to be:

"The Roman Pot stations are located on either side of the STAR interaction point (IP) at 55.5 m and 58.5 m with horizontal and vertical insertions of detectors respectively."

 

> ** l.225  -  "... with p = 100.22 GeV/c the beam momentum."  or something like this to explain why p is not 100.00.

 

Actually, even the total energy is not 100.00 GeV.  All of these come from the fact that G-gamma has been set to be 191.5 between 191 and 192 (to avoid integers which might result in resonance).  We've changed it to be "p = 100.2 GeV/c" as have the fraction error in the order about 1e-4.

We now mention "higher order correction terms are ignored" under Equation 11, as you suggest.

   

> ** l.272  -  perhaps quote the actual values instead of "~55" and "~10"??

 

The "collinearity" in reality is slightly different from run to run, not just one single value.

 

 

> ** l.283  -  do we understand correctly that there may be a false asymmetry that is proportional to the beam polarization, and it has not been ruled out by your tests? 

 

There we try to explain in detail that the false asymmetry is ~ 0.

 

 

> ** Fig.6  -  The text and error bar run into each other for (d).

>   Fig.6 caption  -  is the vertical dashed line the average of experimental values or just zero or ...?? 

> Please include in the caption. 

 

We've added "The vertical dashed line indicates where Im($r_5$)=0." at the end of the Fig. 6 caption.

 

 

> ** l.299,300  -  this sentence is a bit confusing.  You use "variable" for both deltaB and Re r_5, we believe.  Maybe

> something like "The remaining lines show changes of Re r_5 and Im r_5 when the parameter was varied by +/- 1

Actually, you've understood perfectly. We've made the changes as you've suggested.

 

 

> ** l.308,9  -  "... more emphasized in estimating ..."  we are confused by this and aren't sure what the  

> authors are trying to say.  

 

It just says the AN peak is more sensitive to Im(r5) and thus attracts more attention.  This explains why we look at the Im(r5)'s in Fig. 6.

 

 

 


 


Panjab University :

Most cuts are at 3 sigma-level and so this so-called chi**2 at 3-sigma is 3**2 = 9.

We feel that the figures are already too busy and it's not good to add more. The larger error b\
ars are because of low statistics and they're related to how close the respective vertical roma\
n pots were moved to the center of the beampipe. During the run, we tried to move the pots as c\
lose to the beampipe as possible without having too much background.

The point with the smallest -t range is probably the most interesting point in this measurement\

 Janusz from the Cracow group :

> General:
> Explain fully the coordinate system shown in Fig. 1

In the caption of Fig. 1, I now add "Positive y is pointing towards the sky and positive x is pointing to the center of the RHIC ring."

> 144. At very high energy sqrt(s) - -> At high centre of mass energy, sqrt(s),

Now, we define "center of mass energy" for sqrt(s) in "Introduction" (the 1st time that it appears, line 127) and here, we just say "At very high sqrt(s)".

> 154-155. The contribution of the two spin-flip amplitudes, …., to the asymmetry AN is small as  indicated by  both experimental estimates [] and th. pred.[18]

OK.  We have changed it to :

"The contribution of the two double spin-flip hadronic amplitudes, …., to the asymmetry AN is small, as  indicated by  both th. pred.[18] and experimental estimates [19,20]".


> Section 3
> 168. on each side - -> on West and East side

A few persons/groups have made suggestions to this sentence.  Now it's changed to be:

"The Roman Pot stations are located on either side of the STAR interaction point (IP) at 55.5 m and 58.5 m with horizontal and vertical insertions of detectors respectively."

> 190. Give also value of the distance of 10 mm in units of the beam width at RPs.

It's about 10-12 sigma's but it's probably difficult to be exact.

> 214.  small correction less than 4 $\mu$rad, the full  - ->  small, less than 4 $\mu$rad, correction, the full

We've adopted Hal's suggestion : "small corrections of less than 4 $\mu$rad" .

> replace: are taken from the fits similar to those in Fig. 2 - -> are taken from the fits to data performed for each run. An example is presented in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b).

We've changed to  "are taken from the fits to data performed for each data segment.  An example is shown in Fig.~2."

> 257.  the position of the t = 0 trajectory … - -> the position of the t = 0 elastically scattered proton trajectory   or   the beam position

The present form seems cleaner and the acceptance is mentioned in the following sentence.

"unpolarized" is probably easier to understand.

A few people have commented/suggested, we've changed to:

"In Table II, we show the central value of the fit  and uncertainties on Re$\:r_5$ and Im$\:r_5$ due to various effects. In the first line of the table, the statistical error to the fit with the central value of the parameters is shown.

This sentence explains why we look at Im(r5), but not Re(r5).

It's difficult to say which nos. are more important in this table.   ( And we have changed 1st two lines into one line as Andrzej has suggested. )

If we look at the variation of point-to-point, it's bigger than statistical variations. That means there
are some point-to-point systematic uncertainties. These variations are likely from the variations of 
geometry of t=0 and the uncertainties are factored in systematic uncertainty of delta_t(alignment).
If we add systematic errors to the points before the fits, we'll certainly get better/more realistic chi-sqs.


The other point is that the function we are fitting with is not "perfect".
If we add high order/off-set terms, such as phi0 which we've decided to drop, chi-squares get better.
We have chi2/dof = 11.1/16,  25.8/16, 12.6/16,  23.2/16, and 14.2/16 for the 5-bins (when phi0 is included).

 
The errors look small partly because we use the same “large scale” for all the plots because
we want to accommodate the with the largest AN scale, ie. 3(a), in which the chi2/dof = 11.32/17 < 1.
For the other 3 fits,  chi2/dof~1.18, 1.54 and 1.32 which seem to be reasonable experimental fitting results. 
And of  course, we've used the method/formula to calculate the error on each bin.

L^{eff} (for x or y) are just two of the elements (the two > 20 m) in the transport matrix

and so when the transport matrix was used, they were indeed used. These were the two dominating terms in the transport matrix and the other elements are very small

compared to L^{eff}.  Conceptually, it's often easier to just consider these two terms

when you try to understand various things in the analysis. So, equations (8) and (9) are

just approximations to help people understand/grasp the main idea and the transport

matrix has been used in the analysis.  And indeed, the uncertainties L^{eff} are

essentially the uncertainties of the transport.

The double-spin asymmetries A_NN/A_SS indeed belong to another set of analysis. Unlike the single-spin asymmetry (A_N) in this paper,  there is NO square-root formula for extracting A_NN/A_SS. The square-root formula helps cancel out a lot of luminositybunch variance etc. We therefore need reliable normalization (bunch intensities etc.) for the A_NN/A_SS analysis which is an ongoing effort. We'd like to publish the A_N and r5 results first.

> in the paper.

 

What we've done is to show 3 significant figures for the measurements and 2-significant figures

for the errors.  A "typical" (but not always) rule for displaying experimental uncertainties is to show

1-significant figure less since the uncertainty is an estimate and cannot be more precise than the best

estimate of the measured value.  For some errors are too small compared to the dominant one (polarization),

so we've also restricted the significance to 4 decimal points which is ~O(1%) of relative accuracy.

  1. The MuDst (for the 2009 pp2pp/STAR run) was made using the $STAR/StRoot/St_pp2pp_Maker together with all other standard packages in the STAR reconstruction chain.


  2. The codes to analyze the MuDst are only AnalyzeMu.h  and  AnalyzeMu.C  in $CVSROOT/offline/pp2pp/kinyip .
  3. Running it requires several input files and some of which depend on which run number you're running against.

     

    // ---------- Codes (say "mytest.C")  to compile and run once if you have the filename(s) in .file.list --------------

Installation and running of slow-server

List of additional software for installation

(It could also be required to install some missing packages from the system distribution like kernel-devel, sox etc.)
  1. National Instruments GPIB drivers. 
  2. Advantech ADAM 4570 driver.
  3. LabView for Linux.
  4. Configure GPIB devices using gpibexplorer (/usr/local/natinst/ni4882/bin/gpibexplorer in default instllation). IP addresses are listed above.
  5. Compile and install advantech driver. Copy configuration files from the attached advtty_conf.tgz to the proper directories:
  • 80-advtty.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d
  • advtty to /etc/init.d
  • advttyd.conf to /usr/local/advtty (for default installation) --- (KY: 2014-9-5) which contains the IP's for ADAM.
  1. Enable and start advttyd using system-config-services

Running of slow control

  1. Login as user daq.
  2. You may need to rebuild lv-pp2pp-slow.so library if the server IP changed. cd to pp2pp-slow, edit pp2pp-slow.h for the new IP and run make.
  3. Start the server if it was not running : pp2pp-slow-server &. It is assumed that we keep it running all the time.
  4. Start the LabView application lv-ppslow and press "Run continuously" button. Generally application could be run from a PC different from the server.
  5. In case of some configuration changes - edit the configuration file bin/pp2pp-slow.conf and restart the server either manually or using the LabView application.
