Run Plan for the Commissioning Period, December 8,9,10, 1999  - E89044

The table below was prepared by Marat, October 27, 1999
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate estimates
Assume that  density = 0.090 g/cm3 , d_omega = 6.7 msr, dz = 5.8cm*
horizontal acceptance = -28.7 mr to 28.7 mr, the extra width reflects the use of an extended target
vertical acceptance = -60 mr to 60 mr , m(3He) = 4.9817e-24g

rate = (dQ/dt)/e*(rho*dz)/m(3He)*(sig-av)*d_omega

* This length along the beam assumes that the spectrometer views the 10 cm target at 12.5 deg, and thus the ytg view is 21.6 mm across.
Given a transverse position resolution of 1.5mm ( from WWW) and requiring 3 sigma separation between the wall and the beginning of the
ytg cut means -6.3mm<ytg<6.3mm. This produces a usable length along the z direction of  ztg= ytg/sin(12.5deg) = 58 mm.

** These are the rates for the data of interest, i.e., with the cuts as described. The total elastic rate into the spectrometer will be larger since the spectrometer sees the full target length at some angles.

*** Assumes we collect 15000 elastic events.
