LEAR offered unique opportunities to study the symmetries which exist between matter and antimatter. At variance with other approaches at this facility, CPLEAR was an experiment devoted to the study of , and symmetries in the neutral-kaon system. A variety of measurements allowed us to determine with high precision the parameters which describe the time evolution of the neutral kaons and their antiparticles, in...
This paper discusses hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS barrel prototype combined calorimeter (consisting of a lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and an iron-scintillator hadronic part) in the framework of the non-parametrical method. The non-parametrical method utilizes only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a min...
A new combined test of an electromagnetic liquid argon accordion calorimeter and a hadronic scintillating-tile calorimeter was carried out at the CERN SPS. These devices are prototypes of the barrel calorimeter of the future ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The energy resolution of pions in the energy range from 10 to 300 GeV at an incident angle [theta] of about 12° is well described by the expression , where E is...
The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a prototype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been investigated. This calorimeter presents a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV, a detailed picture of transverse shower behaviour is obtained. The underlying radial energy densities for the four depth...
Neutral-kaon decays to [pi]e[nu] were analysed to determine the q2 dependence of the K0e3 electroweak form factor f+. Based on 365 612 events, this form factor was found to have a linear dependence on q2 with a slope [lambda]+=0.0245±0.0012stat±0.0022syst. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TVN-414F7YB-Y/1/f9d5dd66c27d4f9264d1cec6fac93c68
We test the Principle of Equivalence for particles and antiparticles, using CPLEAR data on tagged K0 and decays into [pi]+[pi]-. For the first time, we search for possible annual, monthly and diurnal modulations of the observables [eta]+- and [phi]+-, that could be correlated with variations in astrophysical potentials. Within the accuracy of CPLEAR, the measured values of [eta]+- and [phi]+- are found not to b...
We report on the first observation of time-reversal symmetry violation through a comparison of the probabilities of transforming into K0 and K0 into as a function of the neutral-kaon eigentime t. The comparison is based on the analysis of the neutral-kaon semileptonic decays recorded in the CPLEAR experiment. There, the strangeness of the neutral kaon at time t=0 was tagged by the kaon charge in the reaction at...
The EPR-type strangeness correlation in the K0 system produced in the reaction at rest has been tested using the CPLEAR detector. The strangeness was tagged via strong interaction with absorbers away from the creation point. The results are consistent with the QM non-separability of the wave function and exclude a spontaneous wave-function factorisation at creation (CL >99.99%). ; http://www.sciencedirect.co...
Prototypes of the FERMI system have been used to read out a prototype of the ATLAS hadron calorimeter in a beam test at the CERN SPS. The FERMI read-out system, using a compressor and a sampling ADC, is compared to a standard charge integrating read-out by measuring the energy resolution of the calorimeter separately with the two systems on the same events. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TJ...
