3. Goal is to measure g2p in the low Q2 region with a precision ~ 5-7% by measuring transversely polarized cross section difference = A x Measure both asymmetries and cross sections to 4-5% In addition to statistics, we need to control total systematics to 3-5%, i. e., each system to be below that (1-3%). Main systematics for asymmetries: Target polarization (3-4%) Beam polarization (2-3%) Dilution factor/packing factor (some cancellation) Main systematics for cross sections Acceptance/optics (~3%) Dilution factor/packing factor (some cancellation) Density (2-3%) Beam charge (1-2%) Position and angle determination (0.1-0.2 mm, 0.03-0.05 degree) Detector efficiencies (~< 1%) Background (pions, …) (1%) Radiative corrections (including radiative tails) (1-4%) … Experimental Goal/Considerations
