A g~ometrical acceptance correction was applied to

events in each t-bin taking into account the limited cov-

erage of the detectors in azimu@.

The corrected differential elast ic scatter ing rate was di-

vided by the integrated Luminosity of ( 1.24 4- 0.08) • 103o

and is plotted in figure 4. The data are well described by

a zimple exponential depel:denc~, on t, whose coefficient is

found to be,

3 Systematic Errors on the Optical

Point

We now consider the remaining systematic errors on the

optical point measurement.

The contribution from possible errors in the effective

lengths was fontal to be less than 3~A. We used the rela-

tive alignment of detectors with elastic tracks to find the

Lummoslty and the beam trajectory at discussed in

lllfi~ l l g | a l l hOlfi~L'

The beam trajectory affects the elastic scattering dis-

tribution in the following sense. Onr internal alignment of

the detectors within the spectrometers using elastic tracks

doesn't constiain the overall angle of the apparatus rel-

ative to the beam direction. On the other hand. such

an offset would change the relative rate in detectors on

either side of ti,e beam. giving rise to 2 different elastic

cross sections. Intuitively we expect this effect to partly

cancel when data from Loth sides (~rmO and Arnll) are

combined.

3 . 1 B e a m t i l t a n g l e

The beam tilt angle is determined by comparing data in

the 2 spectrometer arms. This is done by starting with an

angle +~ for a possible offset and then rebinning in terms

or a new t variable.

t' = to + 2 . p2 . (0~. • ~) (;I.1)

A new acceptance, is also calculated for eacb spectrom-

eter arm and the resulting corrected t-distribution is fitted

to the form:

dN'l = (a . ~s.t (3.2) dt

The fitted total numbor of events is then:

N 't = r a /b (3.3)

The elastic cross section integrated front 0.05 < t <

0.2(G(V/e) 2 is plotted for Arm 0 and Artu I data ill figure

5 using different choices for tile beam tilt anglo. Clearly

the best choice for the Imam tilt angle is in the range -5.0

ttr < b < O.Oltr.

When data from I)oth arms are averaged, tile fitted

slope and intercept parameters (b and ~ It=o) are

insepsitive to b welt beyond its possible range of uncer-

tainty. This is evident from fignre 6 , which show the

dependence of the fitted intercept on the bean, tilt angle.
