June 26, 2012. Half-baked analysis of depolarization. Files: Code tha analyzes events of PVDIS experiment in HAMC hamcExptPVDIS.C hamcExptPVDIS.h Some initial plots of results pvdis1.gif pvdis2.gif Because of the large mismatch between the HRS momentum setting and the beam energy, there are some events which get into the acceptance that could have lost a lot of energy due to radiation. These events have a significant depolarization (~10 % typical), but they are rare. The net result is a depolarization factor of 0.986. This still needs to be checked; it seems high to me.
