Overview

Overview (4)FPD++ and Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS)
FMS proposed to enlarge acceptance for gluon distribution studies
Stage FPD++ for Run6 as FMS engineering run
Stage full FMS for Run7 dAu
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
FMS Physics GoalsThese we know we can do from FPD analysis of π0
1. Measure gluon distributions xg(x) in protons and gold nuclei from 0.001<xb<0.1
Check universality of xg(x) in region of overlap with DIS (0.02<xb<0.1)
2. Characterize correlated pion distributions as a function of Q2 to search for onset of saturation effects
Is Au a Color Glass Condensate (CGC)?
3. Resolve the origin of large transverse spin asymmetries in p+p -> 0+x for forward 0 production
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
Expanded FMS Physics GoalsWe intend to test these ideas using an FPD++ in Run6
4. Measure g(x) using direct photons
Is known asymmetry in pp π0 present in pp ?
Much simpler probe because no final-state effects
5. Measure J/ (with small acceptance)
Simulations underway
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
How do we measure g(x)?
Quark from Blue beam scatters off gluon in Yellow beam to produce π0 or in forward direction (2.8<<4.2)
We measure E, , and for π0 or in coincidence with π0 , or leading hadron jet surrogate from BEMC, EEMC, or accompanying (s) within FMS to cover 0.001< x <0.1
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
How do we tell if there is a CGC? ln(1/x) and the scale (Q) is taken as pT
Require two (jets) in FMS probes smallest x gluons in Au nucleus (largest )Look for broadening or disappearance of peak as pT decreases
pT decreasing

Run-5 FPDRun-6 FPD++Run-7 FMS
FPD++ Physics for Run6
We intend to stage a large version of the FPD to prove our ability to detect direct photons. These give a cleaner signal of the underlying qg interaction because they are free of final state interactions.
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
How do we detect direct photons?
Isolate photons by having sensitivity to partner in decay of known particles:
π0 M=0.135 GeV BR=98.8%
K0 π0π0 0.497 31%
0.547 39%
π0 0.782 8.9%
’ 0.958 2.1%
Other decay modes yield more photons with less Q
Background simulations underway
31 July 2005 HjC at STAR in Warsaw
Where do decay partners go?
• Gain sensitivity to direct photons by making sure we have high probability to catch decay partners• This means we need dynamic range, because photon energies get low (~0.25 GeV), and sufficient area (typical opening angles few degrees at our ranges).
m = di-photon parameters
z = |E1-E2|/(E1+E2)

Sample decays on FPD++
With FPD++ module size and electronic dynamic range, have >95% probability of detecting second photon from decay.

On to the Full FMS
Following Run6 we will have shown direct photon capability which will only improve with larger detector. We will have proven electronics and trigger schemes and may well have shown J/ capability, which will also only improve with acceptance of FMS

Conclusions
We have shown we can do π0 reconstruction in the FPD for CuCu and pp and discovered large spin asymmetry at large in polarized pp where the cross section is explained by NLO pQCD. We have observed suppression of forward π0 in dAu
We intend to use the FPD++ arrays to show that we can measure direct signal and to continue the study of asymmetry in pp
Run6 will allow engineering test of “new” calorimeter cells and of the new 12 bit digitizer boards
We will work with BNL management to produce the full electronics set for the FMS and stage it for Run7 measurements of the gluon distribution in protons and Au nuclei covering 0.001<x<0.1, checking the universality of the pdf’s determined through DIS
