Meeting #121

Moeller Measurements:

During the E05-102 experiment we did only four Moller measurements, all in May, while we are analyzing data that were collected in June. Not having a single beam polarization measurement made me very uncomfortable. Therefore, I tried to learn something about our beam polarization from Hall-B Moller mesaurements. Although Hall-B errors are probably larger than claimed, we still want to use them, because it is better to have "bad" measurements than none.

Looking at the web-page (http://clasweb.jlab.org/cgi-bin/spin_rotation/spin_rotation.pl?a_passes=2&b_passes=5&linac_energy=1180.565&polarized_halls=1) I learned that we were running at the sweet spot, meaning, that accelerator configuration for Hall-A and B was such, that both halls could get maximum polarization. This suggests, that their polarization can be directly compared to ours. This is whay I did. I gathered all their measurements, calculated the average value and the spread (sigma) of the measurements. Then I did the same thing for our measurements. In the end I confronted both results:

1.)

MCEEP:

I am still working on the MCEEP simulation. I still see a 1-2deg difference in the deuteron scattering angle (which should correspond to in-plane angle of q for considered process d(e,e'd)), that I can not explain. MCEEP returns angles that are too large. However, when I calculate the angle of q-vector myself, using MCEEP information for HRS-L, I get results, that agree with data. Will continue debugging this problem.
