Foreground-to-Background Ratio in the Continuum The foreground rates are taken from the proposal, Tables 6 and 7 for kin '2' and kin '3' respectively. The background rates are also taken from the proposal, Table 9. I ignore the (e,e'pi+), (e,pi-p), and (e,pi-pi+) channels since the anticipated pi+/- suppression factor of 1000 makes them negligible. Thus, 'background' is accidental (e,e'p) only. The foreground-to-background ratio is just column 3 by column 4. foreground foreground background foreground/ rate rate rate background kin (/hour/bin) (/hour/MeV) (/hour/MeV) ratio C2 2650 530.0 161.42 3.28 E2 23846 4769.2 130.97 36.41 F2 11658 2331.6 115.96 20.11 H2 6624 1324.8 110.42 12.00 I2 6624 1324.8 57.81 22.92 K2 11658 2331.6 12.48 186.83 L2 23846 4769.2 10.55 452.06 N2 2650 530.0 7.76 68.30 foreground foreground background foreground/ rate rate rate background kin (/hour/bin) (/hour/MeV) (/hour/MeV) ratio C3 2650 530.0 176.34 3.01 E3 23846 4769.2 143.90 33.14 F3 11658 2331.6 128.08 18.20 H3 6624 1324.8 112.10 11.82 I3 6624 1324.8 54.06 24.51 K3 11658 2331.6 20.24 115.20 L3 23846 4769.2 16.47 289.57 N3 2650 530.0 11.11 47.70
