Mott Asymmetry in p(e,e’) ‘ S. Wells, et al., Phys.Rev. C63 (2001) 064001 transverse beam pol’n + full f-coverage of detector gives access to possible spin dependent terms in elastic cross section. lowest order is 2-g exchange 1st measurement at “high” energy no calculations for spin-1/2 target

Ito, Caltech Q2 = 0.04 (GeV/c)2 Different systematic effects: A120 = 0.3 A200 s120 = 1.4 s200 background similar, so improved S/B similar sensitivity to , unique opportunity to measure other systematic errors comparable in 2 month run, expect test run April/May 2001, production run Oct 2001
PMT Signal Breakdown “LIGHT”: Cerenkov “non-LIGHT”: EM showers Scintillation “non-LIGHT”: EM showers neutrons separate w/ pulse counting “shutter closed” Dependence of background on beam energy is weak
