pC measurements Fills (Mar6) – (Apr 9) Pol-1 measure systematically lower than Pol-2 Blue1/Blue2 1 from Fill Yell1/Yell2 1 from Fill Online Polarization (%), not normalized (!) vs fill
Rate history Runs in reasonable conditions (below 3 MHz) Blue-1: since fill Blue-2 : Ok Yellow-1: since fill Yellow2: since fill 10414
pC-Blue vs HJet Hjet/pC is stable over fills within (large) stat. errors (of HJet) HJet: =32% (fills ) HJet/Blue1 0.96 0.04 (before target change, fill10476) HJet/Blue1 0.84 0.04 (after target change, fill10476) HJet/Blue2 0.82 0.02
pC-Yellow vs HJet Hjet/pC is stable over fills within (large) stat. errors (of HJet) HJet: =36% (fills ) HJet/Yell1 1.02 0.03 (before target change, fill10505) HJet/Yell1 HJet/Yell2 (after target change, fill10505) HJet/Yell2 0.84 0.03
Another APEX exercise: Polarization, “rate” corrected Fill Energy correction assumed to be an offset (baseline shift) – should be confirmed If so, it may explain the “rate” effect (target dependence and pol1/pol2 difference) Plans: Put pulses in other bunches (now only in bunch0) Vary pulse amplitude After correctionBefore correction 2 /NDF=12/9 2 /NDF=24/9 Very thick targets (very high rate, >5MHz)

pC Monitoring Generator pulses Carbon Ekin ToF
pC monitoring Low rate example: High rate example: Pulse ToF vs time Event rate vs time Pulse rate vs time Pulse amplitude vs time
A N vs energy E beam = 100 GeV Any shift in energy measurements lead to a shift in A N (asymmetry)
