Beam line

Møller Polarimeter: Finalize online/offline analysis, especially beam normalization. L. Kramer, Tony Forest Sergei Boiarinov
Rastering: Improve GUI for driver? V. Burkert, A. Freyberger, 
F. Barbosa
Get and interpret data from survey. Dave Kashy, S. Kuhn

Target

Fabricate and test backup Banjo windows Dave Kashy
Final improvements on sensors, controls and feedback loops M. Seely, C. Keith Dave Kashy
Finalize µwave system (remote control, optimize parameters). Finalize LabVIEW programming. Write up operation procedures, training. D. Crabb, M. Seely Christiana Martin, Renee Hutchins, Raffaela Devita, ODU group
Runplan Simulation: Acceptances, reconstruction, resolution. Need to establish agreement with measured E1 data and then implement target field, position and materials. Main goals: simulated proton and deuteron inclusive spectra for dilution factor determination and radiative/resolution corrections. Study reconstruction for exclusive channels. S. Kuhn Dale Conwell 
Junho Yun (ODU) 
Sebastian Kuhn
Determine count rates vs. Q2, W, E, B for H and Al from E1 run. Estimate nuclear effects from E2 results. Needed as input for previous item. Also study effects of different trigger thresholds/configurations. S. Kuhn Many E1 collaborators 
Liming Qin, Mehmet Bektasoglu (ODU)
Optimize run plan for Physics (E, B, trigger,...) Spokespersons
DAQ/Online Read out BPM's, Beam scint.'s, Faraday cup scalers keyed to helicity changes every 2 seconds. Calibration raster magnets vs. BPMs using fast readout (add to event-by-event data stream). Chip Piller, Arne Freyberger, Dieter Cords Sergei Boiarinov, Tony Forest, Mehmet Bektasoglu
Online diagnostics and asymmetries; implement new target position + Bfield for online RECSIS (roads). Sergei Boiarinov? Tony Forest, Franz Klein
Trigger: 2nd level, tight C*EGN(in)*EGN(out) plus several loose, prescaled ones. Push data rate! Dave Doughty, online group

Analysis

Reconstruction (vertex, phi, theta, secondary particles, m.sc., radiation). False Asymmetries. Dead time effects. Trigger and detection/cut efficiencies. M.Sc. and secondaries from hits of structure. Physics (pion, charge symmetric) and other background (Møller). Dilution. Nuclear Effects. Radiative corrections. From asymmetries to g1 or A1. Spokespersons Spokespersons,
