This HBD contributes to reducing the background from electron pairs produced by real and virtual photon conversion. Furthermore, the author develops a new analysis method for the background reduction, and the signal-to-background ratio is improved by a factor of roughly 2.0. Using the combination of the HBD and a new analysis method, the double-spin asymmetry of the electron production with transverse momentum ranging 0.5 < pT < 3.0 GeV/c is measured and confirmed to be zero-consistent within the limit of the statistical uncertainty of about 1%. This result identifies the constraint of the gluon polarization in the small Bjorken .x. region, a worldwide first. | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Gluon Polarization; Hadron Blind Detector; Heavy Quark Decay; Measurement of Electrons from Heavy Flavo | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-54616-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56368-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-54616-0Series ISSN 2190-5053 Series E-ISSN 2190-5061 | issn_series | 2190-5053 | copyright | Springer Japan 2014 |
