Procedure with Sieve-slit
* A Hall A Tech may be required to install the 2-inch lead sieve-slit collimator onto the front face of the HRS.
* Take a sieve slit run with the multi-foil carbon target for the inelastic kinematics in the table.
* If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure.
* Repeat the above with the beam position shifted so that you see a vertical shift by one row.
* Rates assume 5 carbon foils, only 9 out of 25 sieve holes have events (~ 0.146 mSr acceptance), and 9% delta acceptance.

Alternative rates with 1-inch tungsten sieve slit:
* Assumes that 49 out of the 63 holes are seen (~ 0.52 mSr acceptance); however, the acceptance is reduced by 85%,
since not all foils will see all holes.
* Rates assume 5 carbon foils and 9% delta acceptance.

Elastic from Hydrogen
Elastic electron-proton measurement. Assuming a 15 cm LH2 target, a spectrometer acceptance of 6 msr and elastic from Eric's rate program to compute the cross-section. Taking data at 7.3 GeV with the given momentum restrictions is time consuming.
