Notes on the kinematics table (August 13, 2024)
- ECAL distance and central angle for GEP-2a are not yet finalized; need to optimize, check snout aperture, acceptance matching, etc.
- Nominal magnetic field settings are for nominal production data taking (optimizing acceptance/event rate). Some fraction of the data may be taken at other field settings to study systematics of SBS optics and spin precession. In particular, some fraction of the GEP-2a and/or GEP-1 data may be taken at the higher field settings relevant for GEP-2/GEP-3
- Central precession angle is calculated assuming a central field integral of 2.43 T*m for the maximum field setting.
- HCAL distance of 10 meters is assumed for all settings. It may be desirable to put HCAL slightly closer for the low-Q^2 settings, but coverage of the useful acceptance seems good even for those settings.
- Central kinematics (Q^2, proton momentum, scattered electron energy, etc) are calculated using the beam energy and the central SBS angle. The central ECAL angle may differ slightly for GEP-2a from the angle implied by the central proton kinematics and the beam energy. Need to check acceptance matching and vacuum snout aperture on ECAL side.
