THIS IS 1 BEMS PROBLEM: NO DATA = NO MEASUREMENT! Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

7 BEMS SUBSYSTEMS Laser & optics system provides laser transportation and necessary focusing to the interaction area. Control system provides change of laser direction to electron or positron beam, control over additional moving shield 2, tune (maximize) the rate of backscattered photons. It uses DAQ system counting rates as a feedback signal. DAQ system reads HPGe data from MCA, saves the raw data to disk. Uses Control system status to distinguish electron/positron records. ALL RAW DATA IS AVAILABLE! On-line analysis system provides online beam energy determination results and writes them to the BEPC database. O-line analysis role is to make various checks and get better results. 2 Up to 18 cm of lead shielding was installed to suppress beam background!

9 Absolute energy measurements by HPGe spectrometers Practical experience has been gained in the eld of nuclear spectroscopy. Idaho group recommendations for precise absolute measurements: use more than one spectrometer simultaneous and unidirectional measurement of calibration lines and energies under investigation perform energy calibration in a narrow range instead of polynomial extrapolation of the whole scale avoid using m 0 c 2 or 2m 0 c 2 values for determination of energy dierence between photo-peak and escape-peaks avoid using pulsers for calibration Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

10 Our approach is dierent cause the range where we work is rather wide. So we'll try to: nd an appropriate function to describe the total total absorption peak shape; check that the parameters of this function have a smooth energy dependence; use BNC PB-5 precise amplitude pulser with declared integral linearity as small as 15 ppm.

27 Conclusions about energy scale calibration Absolute energy scale is based on γ-quanta emitted by excited nuclei. During BEMS-2015 test 137 Cs and 60 Co γ-sources were used. With only three lines the statistical uncertainties for all calibration coecients are rather large. The arbitrary uncertainty of scale calibration is at the level of 10 4, it can be signicantly reduced by adding 2614 kev line ( 208 Tl), as it was done before, during routine BEMS operation in Unstable beam orbit leads to large background uctuations. This is the main reason of instabilities in the calibration procedure. Special care should be paid to satisfy BEMS requirements for beams orbits in the laser interaction area.

34 1 BEMS history & principles of operation 2 Energy scale calibration 3 BEMS-2015: scale calibration 4 BEMS-2015: beam energy determination 5 Conclusion Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

35 Conclusion BEMS is ready for new experiments. Whenever accurate beam energy determination is important in a particular experiment, the following steps should be performed: Contact BEMS group for joint planning of experiment. Contact BEPC team to provide special care on orbits at the North IP (even with possible luminosity loss). Perform fast scans of J/ψ or(and) ψ(2s) resonances for better understanding of systematic uncertainties. Do oine study of BEMS data to check everything prior and along with BES-III data acquisition runs. Long-term BEMS operation without performing the above steps leads to rise of low quality data records. Analysis and understanding of such data becomes more dicult, resulting in increase of systematic errors. Our experience convinces that BEMS should not operate in cases when beam energy is not a matter of interest. THANK YOU! Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

36 Orbit radius oscillations (BPR) from BPM signal Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

37 Orbit radius oscillations (BER) from BPM signal Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38

38 Orbit radius oscillations (BER) from BPM signal Most probable explanation for the observed oscillations is the oscillations in BEPC guide eld, where frequencies are the multiples of AC line frequency. If so, this denitely leads to average energy oscillations. Long-time average distribution of the electrons energies is no more a normal distribution. If so, the edge tting procedure becomes incorrect, leading to systematic shift of results. Nickolai Muchnoi BES-III Winter Collaboration Meeting December 12, / 38
