HMS angle/momentum 27.5 deg, -3.609 GeV/c
SHMS angle/momentum 27.5 deg, +3.609 GeV/c
  • We will take a set of 1H(e,e’p) measurements to check the angle and dp/p offsets for the spectrometers. Use a current of 50 μA if possible. Rotate both HMS and SHMS to -27.5° again (or keep them there if already at that angle). Keep both HMS and SHMS at a central momentum of -3.609 GeV/c. First use the sieve slit on the SHMS side and the central Carbon optics target. Use the Particle Id. trigger, and measure about 2K singles in SHMS (that should take about one hour). Now install the 10 cm hydrogen target and measure about 2K singles in SHMS (that is again about one hour). Now take a coincidence spectrum in the same situation, again a measurement of about one hour. Remove the sieve slit on the SHMS side and use the large collimator. Measure a coincidence spectrum for one hour (rate should be 4 Hz, so this will get >10K statistics). Now install the sieve slit on the HMS side and measure another coincidence spectrum for a few hours (a few K statistics).
