Notes Gep at 12 GeV -------------------- Focus on either HMS, SHMS or MAD to detect proton and have FPP in tandem with the Bigcal to detect electron. Important considerations: 1. Need FPP 2. High proton momentum 3. Understand spin matrix FPP ---- HMS has advantage of having an FPP. The FPP could be moved to SHMS. I assume that it could also be moved to MAD. Maybe Ron can check on this? For 12GeV the analyzer power used in estimate is from an extrapolation of previous Dubna data. The efficiency is assumed to be 50%. The limit to the Q2 is mainly from how far one wants to push the extrapolation of Ay and the count rate. Kinematics ----------- First scenario: Q$^2$ = 12 GeV$^2$ Beam energy = 8.8 GeV Proton mom = 7.27 angle=13.3 Electron mom = 2.4 angle=44.23 Jacobian dsig_e/dsig_p = 9 Beam energy = 11 GeV Proton mom = 7.27 angle=17.4 Electron mom = 4.6 angle=28.17 Jacobian dsig_e/dsig_p = 1.5 HMS, SHMS and MAD can accept the momentum. 2nd scenario: Q$^2$ = 14 GeV$^2$ Beam energy = 11 GeV Proton mom = 8.34 angle=14.04 Electron mom = 3.54 angle=34.89 Jacobian dsig_e/dsig_p = 4.35 SHMS and MAD can accept the central momentum. Spin Matrix ------------ HMS is the simplest to understand and will be tested by previous experiment. By hand-waving arguments one can argue that SHMS will be easier to understand than MAD. But both will be difficult compared to HMS. Ask Lubomir Pentchev to help to come up with more quantitative arguments. Rates and errors ---------------- used 20cm target for SHMS and MAD used 15cm target for HMS.

Now that I look at things, Q2 = 14 is too close. The Q2 = 12 will cover a large Q2 range almost to Q2 = 14 . The rates at Q2 = 15 are half those at 14.
