Messungen von Strahluntergrund bei HERA für den Betrieb von H1

University of Hamburg, Diplomarbeit, 1992; (1992).
During the HERA test runs with colliding beams in October and November '91 the background for the HI-experiment has been investigated with a preliminary test setup of the vetowall. The time structure, rates and amplitudes of background events and the effect of the collimators at the proton ring were analysed. The HI-vetowall was installed together with the HI-detector in the beam position. It has been used to estimate the effect of collimators for synchrotron radiation and for studies of the background during loss of the proton beam. During the first period of data taking with HI in June '92 the background events in the HI- vetowall and the resulting dead time for HI were investigated
