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.
- 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.
- 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.
