14. Moller/Bhabha scattering - 1.3 degrees for symmetric Moller setup - requires knowledge of Moller/Bhabha cross sections Monitoring the Luminosities Pressure, temperature, flow, current measurements - limited in precision Small-angle elastic scattering - high count rate, no TPE at high epsilon / low Q 2 - single-arm and in coincidence with recoil proton - event-by-event with full track reconstruction - different acceptances for e + and e -

27. Monte Carlo Studies with Geant4 Resolutions Generated and reconstructed variables Theta, Phi, P, Z electron/proton Resolutions δZp, δTp, δPhp, δPp, δZe, δTe, δPhe, δPe Residuals: Redundancy of variables / elastic scattering 4 variables: Pp, Tp, Pe, Te 3 constraints: 3 conservation equations 4 – 3 = 1 (DEGREES OF FREEDOM) TeTp: Te – Te(Tp) TePe: Te – Te(Pe) TePp: Te – Te(Pp) -> 6 independent correlations Coplanarity: PhePhp:Phe – Php – 180 Common vertex: ZeZp:Ze – Zp

28. Conclusions so far Distance gaps between tracking planes mostly affects δZe Intrinsic resolution, too, mostly affects δZe δZe always >> than corresponding δZp -> maximize gaps (distance) Solid angle ~1/dist^2 -> minimize distance Elastic count rate still sufficient w/ 50cm gaps Least distance of first element 187cm for clearance Current conclusion: use large gaps (50cm) and <100mu resolution BUT: Bending is not so small – want gaps small enough so that acceptance (solid angle) determined by rearmost tracking element Not yet accounted for all materials (target chamber windows) Technical Report is in Preparation
