Procedure without Sieve-slit

  • Kinematics need to be updated!
  • Time estimate: 1-2 hours
* Take a run at the following kinematics without the sieve-slit collimator.
* Start with initial HRS spectrometer tunes for the left and right arms with the new quads in place of Q1s.
* If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure.
* Electron rates assume 9 out of 11 carbon foils, 5 mSr acceptance, and 8% delta acceptance.
* A GMp expert will check the data quality and decide, if the HRS tunes need to be adjusted to change the size of the acceptance.
* This process will be repeated until the spectrometer tune is satisfactory.
  • Left-HRS Kinematics: 1st Pass (Ebeam = 2.2 GeV)
Ebeam [GeV] P0 [GeV/c] θe [deg] Q2 [GeV2] W [GeV] Rate [Hz] at 20 μA minutes for 2M events at 20 μA
2.217 1.0 17.5 0.20 1.722 9800 (3260 Hz with ps = 3) 10

We want to take runs with the following Q1 currents:

  1. 0%: 213.0 A
  2. -6%: 200.22 A
  3. -5%: 202.35 A
  4. -4%: 204.48 A
  5. -3%: 206.61 A
  6. +5%: 223.65 A


  • Right-HRS Kinematics: 1st Pass (Ebeam = 2.2 GeV)
Ebeam [GeV] P0 [GeV/c] θe [deg] Q2 [GeV2] W [GeV] Rate [Hz] at 20 μA minutes for 71k events at 20 μA
2.217 0.85 48.75 1.28 1.47 119 10

We want to take runs with the following Q1 currents:

  1. 0%: 181.05 A
  2. -6%: 170.187 A
  3. -5%: 171.9975 A
  4. -4%: 173.808 A
  5. -3%: 175.6185 A
  6. +5%: 190.1025 A
