Tagging spectrometer and photon beamline Review January 23-24, Response to Questions Bremsstrahlung Tagging Spectrometer and Photon Beam Review Richard Jones, Jim Kellie, Dan Sober and Elton Smith
Tagging spectrometer and photon beamline review Jan 23-24, Response to questions Describe the procedure for assembly and alignment of magnets, vacuum chamber and hodoscope, including mounting for the first time and also after a disassembly. ─ See presentation by Jim Kellie What is the requirement for the vacuum in the tagging system? ─ Require that the radiation due to air < radiation from radiator → vacuum < torr. What is required for the magnetic properties of the steel? ─ Define the chemistry of the steel (e.g. low carbon) ─ Request samples of steel and measure B-H curves for the samples ─ Accept final steel with same chemistry of samples ─ Note: We are not very sensitive to the quality of the steel at 1.5 T.
Tagging spectrometer and photon beamline review Jan 23-24, Response to questions What plans do we have to determine the absolute photon energy? ─ For initial running, calculation of the photon energy based on measured (calculated?) field maps of the magnets should be sufficient. ─ Calibration of the absolute energy scale to can be achieved using a magnetic pair spectrometer. This procedure has recently been completed for the Hall B tagger (see CLAS-NOTE ). This would require instrumenting the pair spectrometer with additional microstrip detectors. To what precision does the experiment need to know the polarization? ─ Richard will write a response to this
