A MonteCarlo
to study elastic events with the FPD spectrometer setup has been implemented.
It includes the 8 vertical quadrupole and two dipole detectors. We are
in the process of making all possible checks to the MonteCarlo.
MonteCarlo
Studies for Alignment
Investigate
the uncertainty on beam position with respect to fpd pots when elastic
events are used to determine the beam position.
MonteCarlo
Studies for measurement of Total Cross Section
Study
the feasibility of performing a Total Cross Section measurement using the
Tevatron injection Lattice.
Algorithm
for Online alignment of fpd detectors.
Using
elastic events one can the beam position respect to the FPD pots. if beam
if offcentered we want to have an automatic procedure to
simmetrize the pot positions respect to the beam.
Procedure
for total cross section and Luminosity measurement.
We want
to do a total cross section measurement with a special low luminosity run
and then have a procedure to normalize runs with normal conditions to the
low luminosity one to determine luminosity run by run. This information
will be useful to combine with the Luminosity monitor to reduce uncertainty
in D0 Luminosity value.
