Draft Punchlist

Request #1 -- Beam Current vs. Deadtime

We measured dependence of electronic dead time on the beam current at five different average beam currents from 0.245-4.1 uA on a 1um foil. He'd like a plot showing the five data points vs. beam current with their individual uncertainties, and then the average with it's uncertainty band.

Request #2 -- Measured Asymmetry vs. Beam Position on Target

We measured dependence of the physics asymmetry on the position of the beam on the target foil from two target foils: 0.225um and 1um. For each foil we measured 7 asymmetries (one at center and six others away from center). The details are described in the systematics TN on the wiki. He'd like a plot showing the measured physics asymmetries (weighted average of IN/OUT) vs. radial distance from the center (instead of using x/y values shown in the TN), and then the average with it's uncertainty band, for the two target foils.

Request #3 -- Plot of Asymmetry vs. Target Thickness from SPIN 2000

Recreate Michael's Paper's Plot: Remaking of Figure 6: media:Au_targetMSteigerwald.gif. The lines are a fit ( asym = a / (1.0 + alpha . d) ). On the original figure, the lines were his calculations.

Request #4 -- Example of FESEM Image

We need an imagine of a typical FESEM picture showing a gold foil on a silicon substrate, or maybe 2 or 4 of them arranged to show typical measured you used in the analysis.

=> Here are some examples of foil thickness, which set of foils would be interesting to use? => Media:foil_Thickness_status-5June2015B.pptx

Request #5 -- Comparison of FESEM thickness vs foil position

For two foils, two samples were prepared – one near the foil center and one near the edge, and each were measured. Where are those results (or FESEM images) ?

=> Here is the summary of the measurements where two foils have "edge" and "center" values, is this sufficient ? Media:Summary_all_foils_5June2015C.xlsx

Request #6 -- Ready for Review

The detectors are centered at theta=172.6. We should check if S is maximum there or not. => The answer is that the maximum for KE=5MeV Au is 173.1 per Xavier and 129.9 per Ketevi. I think we erred perhaps so that the solid angle intercepted S at the same value left/right, or something like that.

Request #7 -- Absolute Calibration of BCM0L02 to FC#2

• Run I -- BCM0L02 calibrated against FC#2 Elog -- https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3317350
• Run I -- First pass of calibrating Mott DAQ VtoF Scaler vs BCM0L02 Elog --https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3322253

• Run II -- BCM0L02 calibrated against FC#2 Elog -- https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3354810
• Run II -- First pass of calibrating Mott DAQ VtoF Scaler vs BCM0L02 Elog -- https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3354815

For the final analysis, rather than use a subset of Mott runs during a given Run period to calibrate the Mott DAQ scaler VtoF, all runs in a given Run period were used. That is, all runs in a given Run period VtoF were plotted again BCM0L02 in order to determine appropriate calibration values for the VtoF signal. Then this VtoF calibrated current measure is used in the final analysis when calculating rates.
