Search for the Formation of the Quark-Gluon Plasma by Measurement of Cross Sections for Direct Photons and Leptons: Annual Progress Report, April 1, 1987-March 31, 1988

摘要

The Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics Group at LSU participated in three experiments during the past year. Two of these, the search for direct lepton pairs with the DLS and the study of e+ e- annihilation at KEK, are still on-line and logging data. The third, the search for subthreshold production of kaons and antiprotons was completed in the spring of 1987, and the apparatus was disassembled. We are pleased to report that during the months of April and May 1987, the three detectors built by our group - the drift chambers for the DLS, the multiwire proportional chambers for the kaon/LEBL beam line, and the ring veto counters for AMY at KEK - were operational and logging data all within the same general period of time. 29 figs.
