At 1.5 GeV, the background rate in the compton polarimeter are about 200 kHz with 4 uA beam in A and (40uA in C). The expected compton interaction rate is 4Kz. There is no hope of running the compton with such poor beam quality.
There is also a good correlation between Hall C beam and compton background rate.
With Hall C off, the rate drops to 100 KhZ. Hall C leakage causes a factor or 2 increase in background rate.
The beam profile on tgt OTR is sigmaX=0.30 and sigmaY=0.45, with tails in Y.
Its a big beam spot.
We will try the compton after enegry change with 2 pass beam to A.
