Updates to Beamline Specifications [RTJ]

In preparation for discussion of the pair spectrometer specification, I went over the Global Specifications for the Hall D Photon Beam page. A number of these items have come under scrutiny during the last few months, and some of them need to be changed. I have updated the following items in the Global Specifications table on the main beamline specs wiki page.

  1. the upper limit on the range of the tagging hodoscope - changed from 11.4 GeV (old value) to 11.7 GeV (new value). It is a priority for Hall D to provide tagged photons of the highest energy possible at Jefferson Lab. As shown in [ my talk on Endpoint Tagging at the May 2008 collaboration meeting], the Hall D tagger acceptance extends up to 11.7 GeV. Right now we are modifying the layout of the hodoscope counters above 9 GeV, so it is a good time to change the spec on the upper photon energy limit to 11.7 GeV.

Pair Spectrometer Specification

The discussion centered around the main tasks that the Hall D pair spectrometer must be designed to perform.

  1. monitoring the photon beam spectrum This is needed for polarized beam running in order to be able to continuously monitor the polarization of the beam.
