For the Mott polarimeter we are making a real top-down assessment with improvements where objective is a test of the polarimeter precision. To do this we are addressing various areas:

improvements and measurements of targets and collimator acceptance
reduction of backgrounds through lower-Z materials and TOF laser pulse selection
fully new Geant4 model of polarimeter geometry, including polarization processes
theory estimates on Sherman function, dominant systematic uncertainty
higher beam power mode of operation for systematic studies
modern parity-style FADC based DAQ for beam instrumentation and detector collection
new HVPS control system
improvement of signal:noise
