General Information
This is the spot for all things moller polarimetry. Information on how to take moller measurements, spin dance and polarimetry results, and system specs will eventually be put here. This page is currently under construction, and will be updated frequently in the upcoming weeks.
Moller info for Qweak
- The Qweak Moller "how to" is officially up and ready for viewing. (version 1, updated jan. 26, 2011): Qweak Moller "How-To"
- The following is a plot showing good tune of the apparatus. It was taken from run 700, hallc:p ~ 1159 MeV, with a 1um target. (Jan. 30, 2011)
Moller test summaries
Jan. 30, 2011
Today we adjusted the Moller HV, performed a collimator scan, and took some polarization data. See immediately above for a picture of the tune plot. The hallcp_ ~1159 MeV. The full reports can be found in the following Qweak ELOG entries: Polarization study, Updated collimator values.
The new quad currents and collimator positions are as follows:
Quad 1: 93 A Quad 3: 129 A Col # Position (cm) 1 -1.55 2 -1.55 3 -4.05 4 -4.15 5 Out of beam 6 -3.20 7 -3.20
The overall polarization was 89.38 +/- 0.2621%. The real/random ratio (in kHz/uA): 81.

This was our first straight Moller measurement after the holiday down. Only a series of simple measurements were taken at varying currents were taken, no systematic studies. It was also hoped we could use this data to (eventually) calibrate BCM 17. Notice also the backgrounds remain consistent and reproducible from the December measurements.

Excluding run 690, the average polarization is -90.86+/-0.32%.
Spin dances
The initial Qweak Moller spin dance occurred November 23, 2010. Originally scheduled to coincide with Hall A, beam tune issues (on their end only) prevented a joint study.
Test setup: IHWP=OUT, QE=0.35%, Hallc:p 1159.66 MeV +/- 0.03. Solenoid at 3.5T, with 1 um foil. The current was adjusted using the laser attenuator, slit was wide open. Quoted polarizations are from the Dave G. scaler-bank-3-only analysis.

The ideal horizontal wein angle was calculated to be -63.2 degrees. The measured polarization value at this wein was 89.62 +/- 0.35 (stat)%. Below the fit of polarization vs. Wein angle.
The original hclog result entries are #208285 and #208394.
Moller Commissioning - Nov. 14, 2010
Initial Moller commissioning was on on November 14th, 2010. Polarizations up to 89% occurred. It consisted mainly from runs 476-490. Several targets, currents, and pre-scales were used. Collimator 5 was also removed for several runs to determine if scraping occurred. The following is a run summary:

Also, here is a screen shot of the moller medm screen. Note the Q1 and Q2 currents, and the location of the collimators. This data may change, but should be accurate for the near term.
