AbstractWith the exceptions of Synchrotron Radiation sources, beams of accelerated particles are generally designed to interact either with one another (in the case of colliders) or with a specific target (for the operation of Fixed Target experiments, the production of secondary beams and for medical applications). However, in addition to the desired interactions there are unwanted interactions of the high energy particles which can produce undesirable side effects. These interactions can arise from the unavoidable presence of residual gas in the accelerator vacuum chamber, or from the impact of particles lost from the beam on aperture limits around the accelerator, as well as the final beam dump. The wanted collisions of the beams in a collider to produce potentially interesting High Energy Physics events also reduces the density of the circulating beam and can produce high fluxes of secondary particles.

Color Octet Mechanism

The conventional color-singlet model was challenged by the recent data on quarkonium production. Discrepancies in production rates were observed at the Tevatron, at LEP, and in fixed-target experiments. The newly advocated color-octet mechanism provides a plausible solution to the anomalous quarkonium production observed at the Tevatron. The color-octet mechanism should also affect other quarkonium production channels. In this paper we will summarize the studies of quarkonium production in Z0 and ϒ decays.

Searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) can be carried out with precise and GeV-energy-range experiments. In many string theories, a Hidden Sector, decoupled to the SM, foresees the existence of a new massive boson, the A′ or heavy photon, that weakly couples to the electromagnetic current. A new particle with mass in the range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV could explain many astro-particle observations (e.g. positron excess seen by PAMELA and AMS experiments) and some anomalies not yet fully understood (e.g. muon g - 2 factor). The search for A′ has motivated intense experimental activities in almost every accelerator facility using different techniques: colliding beam, fixed target experiments, meson rare decays. Jefferson Lab, a world-leading nuclear physics laboratory, is planning a set of fixed target experiments aiming to discover the A′ or set new limits in its mass and coupling, with an unprecedented sensitivity and reach capability. In this contribution, after reviewing the physics case and some experimental evidences, I will report on the program of measurements planned at Jefferson Lab for the next years.

This paper presents a review of the study of Exclusive Central Production at a center-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] at the Fermilab Fixed Target program. In all reactions reviewed in this paper, protons with an energy of 800 GeV were extracted from the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab and directed to a Liquid Hydrogen target. The states reviewed include [Formula: see text], ϕϕ and D*±. Partial Wave Analysis results will be presented on the light states but only the cross-section will be reviewed in the diffractive production of D*±.
