Notes from this meeting:
- Bubble Chamber:
- Buffer liquid mercury volume is now about 150 mL. - The State of Virginia reporting limit for mercury brought from out-of-state is 5.0 lb. This is about 2268 grams or 168 mL. - Distance from the Bremsstrahlung radiator to the center of the bubble chamber must be about 50 cm. The Bremsstrahlung photon beam has a large opening angle at this low electron beam energy and thus the photon flux drops very quickly with distance.
- Will submit a request to JLab Computer Center for a new email list and group. Our name will be "bubble".
- Cost:
- The grand overloaded total cost is about $350k. - Is it possible for our procurement cost to be considered "Capital Equipment"?
- Error Analysis:
- It is very important to have the systematic errors being relative, i.e., these errors do not change from one energy to another. Some of the systematic errors are clearly relative like radiator thickness or chamber thickness errors. For others, we have to make sure that they are relative. For example, when we do the energy scan, we need to change the beam energy by exactly 0.1 MeV without changing or introducing any new factor that would change the beam energy systematic error.
