2. Experimental conditions: - electron beam: 855 MeV, 2nA, 82% polarization - 2 mm collimator -10 mm Cu radiator - circularly polarized photon beam (N+/N– = 1.009) - transverse polarized butanol target - tagged energy range: 150 – 600 MeV - detectors: CB and PID Good data files: #24823–24862 (~39 hours) polarization from 77.4% to 74.5% (plus) #24866–24000 (~39 hours) polarization from 83% to 80% (minus) NT– / NT+ = 1.0278 Data taking V.L.

4. Main steps to select good events: - (2 or 3 clusters) and (0 or 1 PID strip) - PID  2 neutral clusters ( + proton if 3 clusters) - invariant mass cut   o - kinematic cut - Tagger  initial photon energy and random subtraction - missing mass cut - background subtraction  p →  o  p V.L.
