   Study of in-medium ${\eta }^{\prime }$ properties in the ($\gamma$, ${\eta }^{\prime }p$) reaction on nuclei

   E. Ya. Paryev🇷🇺

   We study the near-threshold photoproduction of ${\eta }^{\prime }$ mesons from nuclei in coincidence with forward going protons in the kinematical conditions of the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment, recently performed at ELSA. The calculations have been performed within a collision model based on the nuclear spectral function. The model accounts for both the primary $\gamma p\to {\eta }^{\prime }p$ process and the two-step intermediate nucleon rescattering processes as well as the effect of the nuclear ${\eta }^{\prime }$ mean-field potential. We calculate the exclusive ${\eta }^{\prime }$ kinetic energy distributions for the ${}^{12}$C($\gamma$, ${\eta }^{\prime }p$) reaction for different scenarios of ${\eta }^{\prime }$ in-medium modification. We find that the considered two-step rescattering mechanism plays an insignificant role in ${\eta }^{\prime }p$ photoproduction off the carbon target. We also demonstrate that the calculated ${\eta }^{\prime }$ kinetic energy distributions in primary photon--proton ${\eta }^{\prime }p$ production reveal strong sensitivity to the depth of the real ${\eta }^{\prime }$ potential at normal nuclear matter density (or to the ${\eta }^{\prime }$ in-medium mass shift) in the studied incident photon energy regime. Therefore, such observables may be useful to help determine the above ${\eta }^{\prime }$ in-medium renormalization from the comparison of the results of our calculations with the data from the CBELSA/TAPS experiment. In addition, we show that these distributions are also strongly influenced by the momentum-dependent optical potential, which the outgoing participant proton feels inside the carbon nucleus. This potential should be taken into account in the analysis of these data with the aim to obtain information on the ${\eta }^{\prime }$ modification in cold nuclear matter.

   Potential performance for Pb-Pb, p-Pb and p-p collisions in a future circular collider

   Michaela Schaumann🇨🇭

   The hadron collider studied in the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project could operate with protons and lead ions in similar operation modes as the LHC. In this paper the potential performances in lead-lead, proton-lead and proton-proton collisions are investigated. Based on average lattice parameters, the strengths of intra-beam scattering and radiation damping are evaluated and their effect on the beam and luminosity evolution is presented. Estimates for the integrated luminosity per fill and per run are given, depending on the turnaround time. Moreover, the beam-beam tune shift and bound free pair production losses in heavy-ion operation are addressed.

   Measurement of spark probability of GEM detector for CBM muon chamber (MUCH)

   S. Biswas🇩🇪 · A. Abuhoza🇩🇪 · U. Frankenfeld🇩🇪 · C. Garabatos🇩🇪 · J. Hehner🇩🇪 · V. Kleipa🇩🇪 · T. Morhardt🇩🇪 · C. J. Schmidt🇩🇪 · H. R. Schmidt🇩🇪 · J. Wiechula🇩🇪

   The stability of triple GEM detector setups in an environment of high energetic showers is studied. To this end the spark probability in a shower environment is compared to the spark probability in a pion beam.
