The H1 experiment:
H1
is an international collaboration performing fundamental research in
the field of Elementary Particle Physics colliding positron-proton beams of
the HERA collider
located at the German national laboratory for
elementary particle physics
DESY
(Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) in Hamburg.
The main interest of research of the H1 collaboration is the
understanding of the proton structure, measuring the proton
structure in a wide kinematic range and studying the fundamental
interactions between particles with the proton and inside the proton.
HERA is also an important tool to search for physics beyond the
Standard Model. For more details, refer to the
H1
publications.
H1 Collaboration Meeting September 2005 Organized in Belgium |
IIHE participating people to H1:
University of Antwerp:
Université Libre de Bruxelles:
Vrije Universiteit Brussel:
Contribution of the IIHE to the H1 detector:
The IIHE group has built and installed laready for the first data
taking,
the COP
multiwire proportional chamber of the H1 detector which delivers
the vertex position on line.
A new Proton Spectrometer
(VFPS) has been
constructed and integrated into H1 in 2003. The project is a collaboration
of the IIHE, Lund, Hamburg II and Birmingham groups within
H1 taking place in the high Luminosity HERA-2000 frame.
The new Proton Spectrometer has a large acceptance for
tagging the diffractively scattered protons.
Implication of the IIHE physicists in the H1 analyis:
The main activities in the Belgian group have been centered on the study
of diffraction: vector meson production, deeply virtual compton
scattering, inclusive diffractive photoproduction; and on the study of
the characteristics of the hadronic final states.
