Background studies with HERA beam Torsten Limberg Overview of studies with beam Synchrotron radiation background studies: Beam Based Alignment Dedicated e+ runs with special filling patterns Positron particle background studies: Collimator studies upstream of experiments Beam tail studies with scrapers and increase of positron tail density with HERMES target Beam position/angle scans at IP Proton background studies: Background rates vs. local IR pressure bumps Ramp detector solenoid to check for trapped ions Use e+ beam as vacuum measurement inside detectors Beam Based Alignment Question: Are magnets so far off their design position that steering through the Interaction Regions without radiating into the experiment is impossible? BBA Method Principle: BBA Results e+ only Runs  Separates synchrotron radiation background (linear in positron current) from positron particle background (quadratic in good approximation) Detector drift chamber currents vs. time differentiates between directly hitting synchrotron photons and backscattered radiation (needs special fill patterns) Determine proton contribution to background rates H1 Drift Chamber Current vs. Ie+ ZEUS Drift Chamber Hits vs. Time(for the passing of a ‘single’ bunch) Positron Particle Collimator Studies Positron particle collimators at 15 and 40 meters do not improve e+ particle background Simulations show that they will not be effective against e+ particles scattering in an 80 meter range upstream of the detector Beam Tail Studies with Scrapers Scraper Measurement Result of Scraper Studies Measured horizontal and vertical tails of positron density distribution with scrapers: Similar to 2000 running Increased pressure in HERMES gas target to reduce positron life time. Repeated scraper measurement and found tail population increased by a factor of ten: No significant deterioration of background conditions (at 4 mA) Beam Position and Angle Scans at Ip’s Results of Beam Position Scans Studies of Pr
