E-831 (FOCUS): CHARM PHOTOPRODUCTION
(LAFEX-E831 GROUP)
Introduction:
LAFEX is a laboratory of
the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas, which
is an Institute of the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology. Since its
foundation, LAFEX has been playing the role of a national laboratory, as its
facilities are open to the scientific community. It is a laboratory devoted to
research in Cosmology, High Energy Physics and associated technologies. Research
in Physics is made locally with independent programs and through international
collaborations with researchers and laboratories from all over the world,
European Laboratory for Particle Physics ,
CERN,
and mainly with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
(
FERMILAB)
where actually are participated in E831 (FOCUS) collaboration.
The goal of E831 from Fermilab is to study a production and decay of particles
with charm and research rare
phenomenons
using beam of photons of high energy and an spectrometer with innovation technology
which allow collect a sample of data of more than a hundred charm
reconstructed particles.
The LAFEX-E831 group has actually carry out analysis in many
topics which are discuss every
week in a meetings . The last
results from the group can be
available.
