Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.6/26
7 Liquid Krypton Calorimeter Photons, Electrons create electromagnetic showers im liquid krypton (ρ = 2.7 g/cm 3, radiation length = 4.7 cm, T = 121 K). Ionization products drift to electrodes. = Collected charge particle energy DETAIL ON RIBBONS AND SPACER-PLATE +/ rad 2 cm x 2 cm cell cathodes anodes cells of 2 2 cm 2 along beam axis in 10 m 3 liquid krypton. Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.7/26
8 Liquid Krypton Calorimeter (Shower Reconstruction) Shower energy: Total energy deposition of all cells within 11 cm radius. Corrections: Dependence from impact point in a cell (< 1%). Energy losses at the calorimeter borders. Energy losses in dead cells ( 0.4% of all). Energy losses on material before the LKr (15 MeV for γ s). Energy transfers between neighboring showers. Shower position: Energy centre-of-gravity in 3 3 inner cells. (Corrected for bias from missing cells.) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.8/26
9 Liquid Krypton Calorimeter (Energy and Position Resolution) Energy resolution: E E = 3.2% E[GeV] 90 MeV E 0.42% = E/E 1% for 20 GeV electrons/photons. Position resolution: 1 mm for 20 GeV photons. Resolution σ(e/p) σ(e)/e Energy (GeV) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.9/26
10 Liquid Krypton Calorimeter (Energy Scale) Determination of the energy scale: E/p K 0 π e + ν e decays (K e3 ): Measure p(electron) in spectrometer and compare with energy in LKr. K S π 0 π 0 decays: Beginning of decay region defined by veto counter. = Fit of the decay vertex distribution. Non-linearities: < % Electron Energy (GeV) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.10/26
11 Determination of the Decay Vertex Decays in two photons: (z.b. π 0 γγ) m 2 = 2 E 1 E 2 (1 cos θ) = E 1 E 2 d 2 12 d 2 LKR E 1 d 12 If mass m known: θ d LKr E 2 d LKR = 1 m E1 E 2 d 2 12 m Decays in many photons: (z.b.

12 Principle of the η Mass Measurement Measure π 0 vertex positions of the π 0 s from a η 3π 0 decay. d π0 LKR = 1 m π 0 E i E j d 2 ij Measure η vertex from all γ s: d η LKR = 1 m η i,j;i>j E i E j d 2 ij π 0 lifetime negligible = η vertex d η LKR = π0 vertices d π0 LKR = m η = m π 0 i,j;i>j E i E j d 2 ij ( 1 3 E1 E 2 d E 3 E 4 d ) E 5 E 6 d 2 56 Conclusions: Normalization to π 0 mass m π 0 = ± MeV/c 2. No dependence from the energy scale. Only Non-linearities in the LKr have to be considered. (Not for symmetric events with E any shower = 1 6 E tot!) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.12/26
13 Event Selection Only events with exactly 6 showers in-time in the LKr calorimeter. Shower energy fully reconstructed: Distance between 2 showers > 10 cm. Sufficient distance to calorimeter edges. Distance to dead cells > 2 cm. Total energy: 70 GeV < E tot < 180 GeV Reconstructed vertex position: Within 4 m from η target. (vertex resolution: 50 cm) Minimization of dependence from non-linearities: Only symmetric events with (Rejects 99.9% of all data!) 0.7 < E shower 1 6 E tot < 1.3 = 8 GeV < E shower < 37 GeV (ɛ /ɛ measurement: 3 < E < 100 GeV) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.13/26
14 Identification of η/k 0 π 0 π 0 π 0 Rellipse = constant: Ellipsoids around correct π 0 masses. Two-dimensional case: Ellipse (e.g. KL π 0 π 0 ) Mass γ3 γ4 [GeV/c2] χ2 -like variable for agreement of 2γ masses m1, m2, m3 with mπ0 : m +m +m m2 +m m (m ) (m m ) π Rellipse = σ1 3 σ2 3 σ KL π0 π0 candidates σ1, σ2, σ3 fitted to data Assignment of photons to π s: Take pairings with smallest Rellipse (99.75% correct) Mass γ1 γ2 [GeV/c ] 2 0 Background suppression (e.g. Dalitz decays πdalitz e+ e γ): Require Rellipse < 1.5 (= Background negligible) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.14/26
15 Data Taking Data taking period in 2000 (June September): Accident end of 1999 No drift chambers = Helium tank evacuated, no window between decay region and helium tank. = No material between collimator and LKr calorimeter (Except: Hodoscope 1 m before LKr.) = Ideal environment for measurement of neutral decays! First part of the run period: K L run for ɛ systematics + η run Second part: High-intensity K S run. Trigger: Horizontal + vertical projections of LKr signals. = Total energy, energy centre-of-gravity, decay vertex (Very loose selection criteria.) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.15/26
16 Measurement of the η Mass In total 1134 selected η π 0 π 0 π 0 events. Mass resolution of single events: 1 MeV/c 2. Result: m η = ± stat MeV/c 2 events per 0.1 MeV/c 2 M(η) M(PDG) (GeV/c 2 ) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.16/26
17 Systematic Uncertainties (Non-Linearities) Determination of non-linearities: M/M Use π 0 γγ and known η target position. = π 0 mass can be determined from γ energies M/M R(γ) (cm) E(π 0 ) (GeV) Look for dependencies of the π 0 mass from: shower energies shower positions Emax(γ) (GeV) Emin(γ) (GeV) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.17/26
18 Systematic Uncertainties (Non-Linearities) Parametrization of non-linearities of the energy measurement: E E = α E + β E + γ r LKr Determination of the parameters from π 0 γγ: η mass: α = ± 10 MeV = ± 2 kev β = ± 0.02 MeV 1 = ± 2 kev γ = ± 10 5 cm 1 = ± 23 kev If not requiring symmetric events: m η (α) ± 35 kev m η (β) ± 25 kev Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.18/26
19 Systematic Uncertainties (Other Contributions) Energy transfer between two showers ( shower profile): Compare GEANT with data from monochromatisc electron beams. = ± 33 kev Uncertainties in the shower position: Difference with uncorrected positions = ± 9 kev Non-gaussian contributions to the energy measurement: (e.g. Hadron production in showers) Turning on/off the corresponding parametrization from K e3 and π 0 data = ± 2 kev Overlaid events: negligible Possible bias from fit method: Monte Carlo simulation = 7 ± 5 kev Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.19/26
20 Cross-Check: η Mass from η/π 0 γγ Mass measurement using η γγ decays: Principle: Build ratio of η and π 0 mass from γγ decays from η target. Two possibilities: d LKr = 1 m π0 /η E1 E 2 d 2 12 Equal photon shower distances: = Energies different by factor of m η /m π 0 4 Sensitivity to non-linearities. = m η = ± 0.35 MeV/c 2 Equal energies of η and π 0 : = Shower separation different by factor of 4 Sensitivity to energy transfers. = m η = ± 0.14 MeV/c 2 Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.20/26
21 Cross-Check: K 0 Mass Measurement Selection of K L π 0 π 0 π 0 events: Data from 2000 K L run period Maximum lifetime < 6.5 τ KS (corresponds to 60 m from collimator) Otherwise: identical selection to η measurement. Main differences to η mass measurement: Collimation: K L beam much better collimated. = More narrow distribution of energy centre-of-gravity for K L. Lifetimes, masses (almost the same!), energy spectra = Slightly different decay topologies. = Only small differences. Taken into account in systematic uncertainties. Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.21/26
22 Cross-Check: K 0 Mass Measurement In total selected K L π 0 π 0 π 0 events. Result: m K 0 = ± stat MeV/c 2 events per 0.1 MeV/c 2 M(K 0 ) M(PDG) (GeV/c 2 ) Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.22/26
23 Further Cross-Checks Further Cross-Checks (a.o.): Data from for K 0 and η mass. = Consistent results. K 0 mass from K S π 0 π 0 decays from ɛ and η runs. = Consistent results. Kinematic fit of K L π 0 π 0 π 0 decays. = Change in result: ±10 kev/c 2 (cut dependent), with different systematics. Relaxation of cuts on event symmetry, photon energies and separation: = Change in result: 9 kev/c 2, but doubling the systematics. Rainer Wanke, Crystal Ball Meeting, Mainz, March 20, 2004 p.23/26

25 Measurement of the η mass: m η = ± stat ± syst MeV/c 2 Previous world average: m η = ± 0.12 MeV/c 2 = Most precise measurement. More than 4 σ (540 kev) above old PDG value. We have omitted some results that have been superseded by later experiments. The omitted results may be found in our 1988 edition Physics Letters B204 (1988). η MASS Result We no longer use the bubble-chamber measurements from the 1960 s which seem to have been systematically high by about 1 MeV.

26 Conclusion NA48 Experiment at CERN: Measurement of the η mass to ±51 kev/c 2 by normalizing to the π 0 mass in η π 0 π 0 π 0 decays. Event reconstruction in liquid krypton calorimeter. Independence of calorimeter energy scale. Effect of non-linearity of energy measurement small. Many cross-checks, in particular: K 0 mass measurement with same method. Result significantly ( 0.5 MeV/c 2 ) higher than measurement at production threshold, about 0.5 MeV/c 2 below bubble chamber measurements. Eagerly awaiting new MAMI measurment!
