Measurement of the Longitudinal Polarization of the HERA Electron Beam Using Crystals and the ZEUS Luminosity Monitor


الملخص بالإنكليزية

A measurement of the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at HERA utilizing coherent interactions of high energy photons in crystals is proposed. Modification of existing facilities would allow an independent polarization measurement and a verification of birefringence phenomena in crystals for 20--30~GeV photons. Relevant experimental issues and systematic uncertainties are also presented.
