TODO LIST 000523 THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN V5: - finish the H section 3.4.2 - recheck Q1 and R1 rates: is there a wq cut there or not? - are we still going ahead with the proposed kinematics. Are the runtimes in the current version of the proposal OK? (I heard nothing about this so I guess 8 hours per kinematics is what we are going with) - incorporate Weinstein comments from 5/09, 5/15 incorporate any other comments I receive (received no other comments other than those on todo list below) Weinstein comments 5/09: 1) 'valence' is the correct spelling. 2) p2 par3, sentence 2: 'Experimentally however, it has not been as convenient a target as ... reactions. Fortunately, the Hall A waterfall target is a convenient (and self-normalizing) oxygen target. 3a) p3 par 1: 'longitudinal' is misspelled 5) p3 par2 sen2: 'This was the first part of CEBAF experiment 89-003 (89-003a) [20] which was the first experiment performed in Hall A. All ... quasielastic kinematics. Cross sections and response functions were measured as a function of missing energy at several missing momenta up to $p_{miss} = 340$ MeV/c.' 6) p4 par2 (and other places): one dash '-' is not the same a minus sign '$-$'. You can get a similar symbol by using two dashes '--' in tex. 7) p5, bottom: 'asymmetry' is misspelled 8) p7 fig4 caption: 'as' instead of 'is' in line 5 9) p7 par 1: 'striking' is misspelled pmiss = 50 MeV/c? 11) p10 par1: 'Exchange' is misspelled 12) p10, par 1 line 5: 'also' is redundant 14) fig 7: mention the pp and pn calculations in the caption 15) p15 par2 line 1: replace 'strength' with 'cross section' 16) p15 par 2, end: add: 'See figure 7.' 17) p16: what is 'RF'? You need to have $p_{miss}^2/2m_p$ in the formula, not just $p_{miss}/2m_p$. This is also on p20, par 2. 18) p18, par1: add: '2.1.1 Theoretical underpinnings' 19) p18, par 1, sen3: 'Although the bswf used are very good, this experiment will further constrain them.' 20) sen 5: 'Note that to constrain the bswf, many data points at low p_m are needed.' 20) p18 par 1,line 16: 'it should be tested.' 21) p19 par1: '... cc2 over cc1, this should be tested over a larger range of p_miss.' 22) p19, last par: insert subsection '2.1.2 the proposed measurements' Replace the '-515' with $-515$ to get the correct typesetting 23) p20 par 2, line 7: '... and the $A_{lt}$ asymmetry as a function of missing energy for several missing momenta ...' - reorder the references so that they come as they should in the text - incorporate the newest and best figures from Udias - Weinstein comments 5/17 THE FOLLOWING REMAIN TO BE ADDRESSED: TODO - WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY? FURTHER INPUT? comments from Weinstein: 1) I think we should include Ryckebusch's p-shell calculation on our p-shell plot so the reviewers can see that we do not expect his s-shell calculation to work at large pmiss. Pictures have MUCH more impact than words so it is not enough to just mention in the text that the calculation is too large. (This is the same argument I have with NL's paper: we need to either show explicitly the weaknesses of the calculation or leave it out. Here we have enough room to show it.) 3) p3 par1: cite Lanen in addition to Steenhovem, Ulmer and Dutta 4) p3 par2: make a new subsection starting here 10) p7 par1: do we want to mention the p3/2 data-theory disagreement at 13) p10 par 3: start a new subsection before this paragraph o need to be more clear on the theory status. I think we need to say very clearly that a) we have a one-parameter theory which describes the data incredibly well using the optimal bswf, optical potential, current operator, etc [where optimal is determined from other experiments], and b) we have thoroughly studied the dependence of the theory on these elements so that when the data are no longer described by the theory, we will know where the theory needs to be improved. o have to be clearer about the overlap between relativity in the wave function [spinor distortion] and relativity in the current operator. Since neither is an observable by itself (we only measure expectation values), the proper treatment of relatvity comes from a combination of current operator AND wavefunction. comments from Gilad: The main comment that was made is that we need to make clear that although there are many effects that can affect the physics (gauges, current operators, bswf, MEC etc.), we study all of them (Jim is still working on the channel coupling) and we understand that some of them are not going to be relevant, and that we have PREDICTIONS for others. These effects play differently for different p_miss and observables, so we should be able to have an handle on them. I think that the appendix should help to make this point clear, but we should also emphasize it more in the body of the proposal. More than that, the sf extracted (the one parameter) is consistent with the ones extracted for the low Q^2 data. Udias' latest paper and his appendix have very good descriptions of these relationships. We may want to put some of them into the body of the proposal. - write an abstract and flesh out the summary - get a new copy of the continuum draft from Nilanga for inclusion, if that is still the plan - get a new copy of Udias' suite for inclusion, if that is still the plan - a complete and thorough proofread - fill out all the JLab paperwork associated with submitting the proposal
