Summary of March 29th FPP commissioning
--------------------------------------
    We took unpolarized 4.045 GeV beam at around 2:00 am on
Sunday March 29th and ran until midnight.
    There were no problems with the beam. The only major downtime
2  hours to fix a noise problem in module 6 in chamber 1.
    The carbon doors worked flawlessly except that the VME crate
that reads back the voltages had to rebooted once. We also lost
time resetting the HV on the FPP chambers after trips. The trips
are hard to explain since chamber drew currents in the 100's of nA
range and the trip levels were set at 35 uA. After setting the
trip levels to 100uA there was only one trip.  
    We measured the carbon scattering efficiency at 4 or 5 
carbon thicknesses for proton kinetic energies of 1.599, 1.332, 
1.012, and 0.799 GeV. We only measured two carbon thickness 
for 0.586 GeV. We were only able to take one hour of data 
with carbon in and with a deuterium target at quasi-free 
kinematics for Q^2 = 1.1 GeV^2 and the maximum data rate 
that we could achieve was about 850Hz at 50% deadtime. This 
means that we should be able to measure 
the false asymmetries with about an error of 0.003 . We took
two runs of straight through (no carbon) data at hydrogen kinematics
but we didn't have time to do straight through run with defocussed
Q3 for deuteron kinematics.
