DESY/Hamburg, 1-Nov-06

• Presently only the central CsI crystal (Crystal #5) was considered. A preliminary look into nearby crystals has been started.

• We chained all the events belonging to the same energy together under the reasonable expectation that local variations will, to a large extend, average out.

• We tried to avoid as much as possible arbitrary, unique cuts and procedures.

• Instead, we preferred to study by how much the results depend on the a priori range of different possible procedures and cuts from which one could choose.{e.g, tried Low sensitivity (12 bit) and High sensitivity (15 bit)}. The spread of some of these results may serve later as one input to the systematic errors.

Some General Guidelines and Comments

The main use of the toroid 6130

• The toroid currents was used to define the appropriate range of the data, taking ±2σ range from an overall Gaussian fit.

• The analysis was then carried out with and without a toroid normalization.

Positron Asymmetry• Event Pair : Signal*, Background (Bg).• Gaussian Fit in general is poor so we use it only to define the sample

range (σ cut, we also studied by how much the results depend on this specific choice).

• For each spectrometer value we calculate L and R via the mean:

• It is very assuring that the two analyses yielded essentially the same asymmetry values so that together they enhance the confidence in the undulator-based method to produce longitudinal polarized positrons.

• The errors given are essentially the statistical ones and one should expect that the final errors will be dominated by the systematic ones.

• It is reassuring that the positron polarization values and behavior as a function of energy corresponded to there expectations.

• The electrons asymmetry seems to be significantly higher than that of the positrons. This observation demands some more study.
