Kevin Kramer gave an update on the QE and False Asymmetry Studies:

•  Discrepancy between Kevin's and Wolfgang's analysis
•  Attempt to resolve differences and discovered Wolfgang wasn't using
         spectrometer survey corrections
•  After correction, Wolfgang and Kevin's analysis agreed on 1 run
•  Both will do analysis independently and check afterwards
•  Collaboration concerned, since spectrometer survey corrections
         should have no effect on false asymmetry, Wolfgang should check
         to see what caused the problem
•  Kevin did a preliminary check by cutting on the end windows for
         the false asymmetry.  Need a more in depth check

•  NMR analysis:
•  Challenges include:  lousy water signals, 4 different
         pick-up coil positions, and gradient coils used for masing
•  Advantages:  10 water calibrations, sufficient parallel EPR data
•  Need good value for H1 and field gradient to calibrate NMR
         using gradient coils
•  Measured H1 inconsistent with width of NMR signals
•  Created a shape generator that takes H1 and gradient as input and
         outputs signal corrected for lock-in time constant, H1 and gradient
         broadening
•  "Works" for helium and water, but data does not fit correctly
•  Q-curve analysis:
•  Q-coil deteriorated during course of experiment
•  Gain doesn't seem to change with configurations
•  Water calibrations:  4 configurations, all consistent except for 1 number
•  Target polarization:
•  Shapiro is ok, but Va1 is off from EPR (grad. coil on)
•  Water calibration constant from EPR comparable with NMR
•  Relative error on temperature ~ 5 degrees C
•  Summary of NMR analysis:
•  New approach not working too well
•  Need to fit it.  Zein-Eddine suggested that maybe

 the side points should be given more weight
 
 
•  g2n results summary:
•  Preliminary results shown at UVa Spin Conference and APS meeting
•  Keith Griffeon responsible for RC
•  Use EPR data for target polarization

•  Replay data w/ new ESPACE (bpm data, new optics)
•  Resolve QE data
•  Dilution factor
•  Elastic data
•  Study RC
•  Finish NMR analysis
•  Target holding field analysis
