AbstractAbstract
[en] The purpose of this thesis is to isolate a prompt electron signal from the data of the NA14 photoproduction experiment at CERN. For that aim, a fast data filtering program has been developed. In order to have a good understanding of the electrons behaviour in the electromagnetic calorimeter, electrons from photon conversion were selected. The observation of events with a reconstructed psi and the sharing between the different psi production mechanism leads to a clear excess of the inelastic process relative to a QCD theoretical expectation. The prompt electrons measurement method, when applied to events obtained from a π- beam, does not give any evidence for a signal. With incident photons, a strong signal is seen which cannot been explained by the Bethe Heitler mechanism and psi production alone. This signal is stronger than the photon-gluon fusion model prediction

Le but de cette these est l'extraction d'un signal inclusif d'electrons directs a partir des donnees de l'experience NA14 au CERN. Pour cela un programme de filtrage rapide des evenements a ete developpe. Afin d'avoir une bonne comprehension du comportement des electrons dans le calorimetre electromagnetique, on a selectionne des electrons de conversion de photons. L'observation d'evenements contenant un psi reconstruit et la separation selon les differents mecanismes de production conduit a un exces de processus inelastiques par rapport a la prediction theorique de QCD. La methode de mesure des electrons directs appliquee a des evenements enregistres avec un faisceau de π- incident ne conduit a aucun signal notable. Avec des photons incidents, un fort signal est present qui ne peut etre explique par les seuls mecanismes de Bethe Heitler ou de production de psi. Le nombre d'evenements observes est plus eleve que ne le predit le modele de fusion photon-gluonOriginal Title
