[Halld-klf-beam] KLF beamline meeting on Thursday, December 12th

[Hovanes Egiyan]

Hi Moskov,

I have a couple of comments about the estimate of kaon flux using the electroproduction article from SLAC.


  1.
I think it is a very good idea to link our kaon flux estimate to real data. The SLAC article in Ref [2] of your PDF file is about electroproduction, while the only factor in your estimate that tries to account for the fact that we are doing photoproduction with a 20% radiator is that factor of 0.2. I think the proper way to use these data to predict photoproduction yields would be to have an electroproduction model that reproduces or fits these SLAC data, then try to use the amplitudes or structure functions in this model for photoproduction case. Otherwise, it is hard to be confident that we will get the right answer within a factor of two by simply guessing a correction factor. Another thing that could be done, although I am not sure if it is doable since I have never done it myself, is to integrate the virtual photon flux Γ in electroproduction within some reasonable range of small Q2 and some W-range that are applicable to the SLAC experiment to try to relate these data to photoproduction with a know photon flux.
  2.
The difference in the tungsten plug thickness of a factor of 2 will result in a kaon flux reduction/increase factor of e2~7.4 , as the flux depends exponentially on the thickness of the tungsten (see formula for the yield YK(pK) in that SLAC article). But my impression was that they had multiple absorbers at the same time, including 27 radiation lengths of lead. So I do not think our absorber is thicker than what SLAC had.

Best,

Dear all,

I tried to make some estimation of
the KL flux based on SLAC measurements.
Please see my file in the attachment.
If I am correct then the proposed flux of
~10^4 is achievable.
Please let me know if I am missing something.

Best regards,
Moskov.
