Introduction Why in e+e- experiments the accurate beam energy calibration is important in the «c-t» energy region ? • The t-lepton mass determination mt=1776, 76± 0, 15 Me. V/c 2 t-lepton is fundamental particle, its mass is important parameter of the Standard Model. • The masses of y and D mesons are also of interest.

Accuracy of the t mass measurement in BEPC-II – BESIII experiment • Statistic uncertainty <20 ke. V (one week of data taking) • Systematic uncertainty (without accuracy of beam energy determination) about 20 ke. V; include the following sources – luminosity, detection efficiency, branching ratios, background subtraction, energy spread, theoretical uncertainty ) Total error is about 30 ke. V. [Y. K. Wang, X. H. Mo, C. Z. Yuan, J. P. Liu, Optimization of the data taking strategy for a high precision t mass measurement, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 583, 2007, pp. 479 -484; X. H. Mo, Study of high precision t mass measurement at BESIII, In Proc. Of TAU’ 06, Nucl. Phys. Proc. Suppl. , 169, 2007, pp. 132 -139] The most important source of uncertainty is the precision of the absolute beam energy

Approaches to the beam energy determination • Calibration of the energy scale from scan of the J/y and y′ resonances. Expected accuracy is about 100 ke. V. [BES Collaboration, Measurement of the mass of t lepton, Phys. Rev. D 53, 1996, pp. 20 -31] • Beam energy measurement using Compton backscattering of monochromatic laser radiation on the e± beams. This approach was approved in collider experiment at VEPP-4 M [V. E. Blinov, A. V. Bogomyakov, N. Yu. Muchnoi, S. A. . Nikitin, I. B. Nikolaev, A. G. Shamov, V. N. Zhilich, Review of beam energy measurements at VEPP-4 M collider, in Proc. Of INSTR’ 08]

General idea of the Compton backscattering approach • The maximum energy of backscattered photon wmax is strictly related with the electron energy e, so if one measured wmax then the electron energy can be obtained: where w 0 is the laser photon energy. • The wmax which is measured by High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector with ultimately high resolution (~10 -3) allows to have statistical accuracy in the beam energy measurement about 10 -5. • The systematic accuracy is mostly defined by absolute calibration of the detector. The accurate calibration could be done in the photon energy range up to 10 Me. V by using the g-active radionuclides.

Accuracy of the method The method was tested using the resonant depolarization technique in experiments at VEPP 4 M ( accuracy is about 1 ke. V. ) The comparison of the energy measurements results shows that the Compton backscattering method accuracy is about 40 ke. V The t mass expected accuracy is about 50 ke. V
