A lead scintillator sandwich sampling calorimeter has been installed in the HERA tunnel 105.6 m from the central ZEUS detector in the proton beam direction. It is designed to measure the energy and scattering angle of neutrons produced in charge exchange ep collisions. Before installation the calorimeter was tested and calibrated in the H6 beam at CERN where 120 GeV electrons, muons, pions and protons were made incident on the calorimeter. In addition, the spectrum of fast neutrons from charge exchange proton-lucite collisions was measured. The design and construction of the calorimeter is described, and the results of the CERN test reported. Special attention is paid to the measurement of shower position, shower width, and the separation of electromagnetic showers from hadronic showers. The overall energy scale as determined from the energy spectrum of charge exchange neutrons is compared to that obtained from direct beam hadrons.

The HERA luminosity upgrade is expected to generate two major problems in the current method of luminosity determination which is based on counting brehmsstrahlung photons: damage of the calorimeter monitor due to high primary synchrotron radiation a
nd large multiple event (pile-up) corrections. The luminosity spectrometer presented in this talk, is a novel method that reduces the impact of these problems in the luminosity measurement and is expected to yield a total systematic uncertainty of 1.4%. The spectrometer counts brehmsstrahlung photon
A summary of recent results from ZEUS is presented. New ZEUS results from HERA-1 data include Structure Functions, QCD fits, analysis of hadronic final states, precision measurements of alpha_s, production of heavy flavor mesons and baryons and studi
es of diffraction. Results from the new HERA-II running include the measurement of the cross section for polarized charged current events and charm events tagged with the new ZEUS vertex detector.
A new event visualization tool for the ZEUS experiment is nearing completion, which will provide the functionality required by the new detector components implemented during the recently achieved HERA luminosity upgrade. The new design is centered ar
ound a client-server concept, which allows to obtain random access to the ZEUS central event store as well as to events taken online via the HTTP protocol, even from remote locations. The client is a lightweight C++ application, and the ROOT system is used as underlying toolkit. Particular attention has been given to a smooth integration of 3-dimensional and layered 2-dimensional visualizations. The functionality of server and client application with its graphical user interface are presented.
To fully exploit the HERA-II upgrade,the ZEUS experiment has installed a Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) using n-type, single-sided, silicon micro-strip sensors with capacitive charge division. The sensors have a readout pitch of 120 micrometers, with fi
ve intermediate strips (20 micrometer strip pitch). The designs of the silicon sensors and of the test structures used to verify the technological parameters, are presented. Results on the electrical measurements are discussed. A total of 1123 sensors with three different geometries have been produced by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. Irradiation tests with reactor neutrons and Co-60 photons have been performed for a small sample of sensors. The results on neutron irradiation (with a fluence of 1 x 10^{13} 1 MeV equivalent neutrons / cm^2) are well described by empirical formulae for bulk damage. The Co-60 photons (with doses up to 2.9 kGy) show the presence of generation currents in the SiO_2-Si interface, a large shift of the flatband voltage and a decrease of the hole mobility.
Deep inelastic scattering and its diffractive component, $ep to e^{prime}gamma^* p to e^{prime}XN$, have been studied at HERA with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 52.4 pb$^{-1}$. The $M_X$ method has been used to extract the diffr
active contribution. A wide range in the centre-of-mass energy $W$ (37 -- 245 GeV), photon virtuality $Q^2$ (20 -- 450 GeV$^2$) and mass $M_X$ (0.28 -- 35 GeV) is covered. The diffractive cross section for $2 < M_X < 15$ GeV rises strongly with $W$, the rise becoming steeper as $Q^2$ increases. The data are also presented in terms of the diffractive structure function, $F^{rm D(3)}_2$, of the proton. For fixed $Q^2$ and fixed $M_X$, $xpom F^{rm D(3)}_2$ shows a strong rise as $xpom to 0$, where $xpom$ is the fraction of the proton momentum carried by the Pomeron. For Bjorken-$x < 1 cdot 10^{-3}$, $xpom F^{rm D(3)}_2$ shows positive $log Q^2$ scaling violations, while for $x ge 5 cdot 10^{-3}$ negative scaling violations are observed. The diffractive structure function is compatible with being leading twist. The data show that Regge factorisation is broken.
