Evaluation of Expected Sensitivity to SMR:
Evaluation of Expected Sensitivity to SMR:
• Above “sensitivity checks” done by using a simple isobar-model (JJ Kelly’s “eipiprod”), and allow SMR to vary away from VPI (SAID) database values.
• 4 graphs outlined in GREEN are the Responses accessible IN-PLANE.
Evaluation of Expected Sensitivity to EMR:
Evaluation of Expected Sensitivity to EMR:
• Above “sensitivity checks” done same way as previous slide’s SMR checks.
• Basically NO SENSITIVITY to EMR.

• Performed several dedicated elastic scattering runs with proton momenta spanning range of production settings
• Used to check/calibrate “false” (instrumental) asymmetries in FPP.

This is NOT data!
• Use M.C. (MAID input) to simulate expected focal plane pol. distributions.
• Extract Resp. Fn’s by directly fitting distribution of focal-plane polarizations.
• Compare to input MAID calc’s…mostly OK, still needs a little study.
