The high granularity of the ARGUS shower counter system allows one to determine the lateral energy deposition. An algorithm based on the number of shower counters set by an incoming particle, the amount of energy deposited in the shower counters and the lateral distribution of the energy allows to separate electrons from muons and hadrons. For electrons with momenta larger than 0.7 GeV/c the hadron rejection rate is of the order of 50 at an electron detection efficiency of 80%.
The e+e -storage ring DORIS II provides polarized beams with polarizations up to 80% in the energy range of the T' meson. The method of resonance depolarization allows the average beam energy to be determined to a precision of ± 0.1 Mel/. An energy scan of the hadronic cross section over the resonance range with the detectors ARGUS and Crystal Ball determines the T ' mass to be (10023.1 ± 0.4 ± 0.3) MeU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
