Polarization at LEPUnder the influence of synchrotron radiation, the LEP beams polarize spontaneously (align their spins) in the transverse (vertical) direction.
Polarization is a slow and delicate process which requires a lot of care and special machine conditions !
record PT = 57%
routine PT = 5 -10%

To determine the energy Measure !Measure !
Principle : Get a fast magnet (“kicker”). Sweep the B-field and observe PT.
If kicker frequency and match, PT
is rotated away from the vertical axis.
The interest of PT : magnetic moments precess in B-fields.

In the control room : Intrinsic accuracy :
E < 0.4 MeVE/E < 10-5
E < 0.4 MeVE/E < 10-5
Resonant Depolarization II
Sweep the magnet frequency over a selected interval (~ 22 Hz). Observe the effect on PT.
This is more than one orderof magnitude better than any other method !
But it requires an largeamount of DEDICATEDbeam time !

Z Resonance ScansGood regions for PT are ~ 50 MeV wide and spaced by 441 MeV.
Convenient for Z mass and width measurements !
Calibrations cannot beperformed during “physics”

Earth tides :
The Moon contributes 2/3,
the Sun 1/3. NO 12 hour symmetry
(direction of Earth rotation axis). Not resonance-driven
(unlike Sea tides !). Accurate predictions.

The Crack in the ModelSpring of 1994 : the beam energy model seemed to explain all observed
sources of energy fluctuations...
An unexplained energy increase of 5 MeV wasobserved in ONE experiment.
It will remain unexplained for two years…

LEP is affected by the French DC railway line Geneva-Bellegarde
A DC current of 1 A is flowing on the LEP vacuum chamber.
Entrance/exit points :

The current on the railway tracks The current on the vacuum chamber The dipole field in a magnet
correlate perfectly !
Because energy calibrations were usually performed :
• At the end of fills (saturation) During nights (no trains !)
we “missed” the trains for many years !

November 1995 : Measurements of
10.10.2000 J.Wenninger - LEP fest 16
Epilogue
• More than 50 24-hour days of machine time were devoted to energy calibration between 1993 and 2000...
• The mass and width of the Z boson were measured with a remarkable accuracy (see forthcoming talks). The beam energy contributes ~ 1.5 MeV to the total errors. Work is in progress on for the W mass...
• The LEP Energy Calibration Working Group was a very successful collaboration between physicist from the machine and the experiments, building ties between the two communities.
• Many other effects besides tides and trains are included in the LEP energy model. There is not enough time to give details ...
• 5 years (1991-1995) were needed to unravel most of the beam energy “mysteries”.
