Abstract:
This thesis describes the sensor technology and the overall setup of the CLAWS experiment and presents the measurements of beam-induced backgrounds it performed during the first commissioning phase of SuperKEKB. We discuss results of a study of beam-gas and Touschek backgrounds, as well as of a novel time resolved analysis of regular and injection backgrounds which includes particle composition of regular backgrounds, time structure and decay behavior of injection backgrounds, hit energy spectra and overall background rates.
