Description
The 2016 Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Au-Au run took place from January 25 to June 27, 2016. Four so-called vernier scans were performed at 100 GeV per beam, with γ=107.396 at flattop at one of the interaction points, IP6. During this type of procedure, one beam is swept across the other, first horizontally and then vertically, recording the interaction rate as a function of the beam to beam separation. From that data, the effective cross section of the Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) can be derived. This paper discusses the results of the scans, as well as the systematic uncertainties of the derived effective cross section.
