1. Møller hardware status (detectors and targets)
2. Systematics for SANE

SANE Collaboration Meeting
May 30, 2008
Hall C Møller Polarimeter
Superconducting solenoid Brute force out of plane magnetization
Scintillators set “tune”Calorimeter measurement
Detectors
One dead scintillator on left arm appeared during GEp
Scintillators refurbished before G0 Back angle Additional repairs before GEp
Targets
Present target configuration optimized for “high current” running 1-2 A
At 100 nA, dP/P=1% (stats) would take 2.4 hours on 4 m target (5.9 GeV)
SANEReplace 1 m foil with 10 m foilReplace “not accessible” with 20 m foil and make accessible with new actuator
Kicker test target
4 m foil
1 m foil

1. No “high current extrapolation” 2. Leakage more important
dP/P < 1.5%?
Systematics: SANE
It is unlikely Wien will be set for maximum polarization to Hall C during SANE
At 5 pass and high energy (5.9 GeV) small changes in the beam energy can impact the polarization in the Hall
Example: Wien set for 80% of maximum in Hall C at 5.9 GeV
1 MeV shift in beam energy gives 2.3% change in polarization in Hall
OptimumSANE?
Hall C Møller during GEp
Some hint of dependence of polarization on QE!
Collimator Issues
General philosophy:Let collimators in front of detectors determine acceptance
Collimators between Q1 and Q2 “clean up” backgrounds do not impact acceptance
Collimator Issues
At 5.9 GeV, collimators between Q1/Q2 come close to impinging on acceptance
Collimators 6&7 can collide – may cause reproducibility problems
Møller Measurement Plan
Measurements desired every 2-3 days
Two options:1. RSS-style general procedure that anyone on shift
can follow Can make measurements anytime – whenever
convenient Results may be a little less reliable
2. G0 Forward-style: “small” group makes all measurements (“small”= at least 5-6 people) Measurements need to be scheduled More reliable polarization measurements smaller systematic errors
