TL;DR: The CLEO detector has been upgraded to include a state-of-the-art particle identification system, based on the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) technology, in order to take data at the upgraded CESR electron positron collider as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The CLEO detector has been upgraded to include a state of the art particle identification system, based on the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) technology, in order to take data at the upgraded CESR electron positron collider. The expected performance as well as the preliminary results are reviewed from an engineering run during the first few months of operation of the CLEO III detector.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the construction and performance of the muon identification system for the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR).
Abstract: We describe the construction and performance of the muon identification system for the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR). The system, based on plastic proportional tubes interleaved with an iron absorber, covers 0.85 of the total solid angle, has an identification efficiency between 0.89 and 0.99, depending on track penetration requirement, and a probability of misidentification about 0.007 for pions of 2.5 GeV and 0.030 for kaons of the same momentum.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed that the horizontal size of the luminous region decreases in the presence of the beam-beam interaction from what is expected without the beambeam interaction.
Abstract: Using the silicon strip detector of the CLEO experiment operating at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring (CESR), we have observed that the horizontal size of the luminous region decreases in the presence of the beam-beam interaction from what is expected without the beam-beam interaction. The dependence on the bunch current agrees with the prediction of the dynamic beta effect. This is the first direct observation of the effect.
TL;DR: The CLEO III detector as discussed by the authors is optimized to achieve a 5-10-fold increase in the number of B mesons collected in the third phase of the CLEO project.
Abstract: CLEO has pioneered the collection of large numbers of B mesons, in order to explore rare decays and thus test the Standard Model. In its third phase, CESR and CLEO plan to increase the total integrated luminosities by a factor 5–10, collecting ≃15 fb −1 per year. This will enable us to probe currently unobserved rare processes, and also perform measurements of 2-body B decays to overconstrain the parameters which describe CP violation. The CLEO III detector will be optimized to achieve this goal.
