Used run 2063 and whole run (so get away from problem of pulsers
corrupting scaling by T5's).
answer: 1.08 x 10^-5 ub/sr after correction for eff. target length, deadtime,
... and guess at radiation. Low by 40%. More than I would like.
Below here is included a short python program to compute it so you
can see what I used.
# run 2063
counts = 3921.0 # counts in Em peak
omega = 0.006 # solid angle
charge = 0.0404044
tthik = 0.072 * 15.0 * 6.02e23 # number of nuclei per sq cm
parts = charge / 1.6e-19 # number of electrons thru target
lum = tthik * parts
sig = counts / lum / omega # this is in cm**2/sr
sig = sig * 1e30 # this is in ub / sr
print sig
print 'adjustment for eff. target length and radiation: '
effsig = sig / 0.6 / 0.7 / (1 - 0.1188)
print effsig
To run the program, simply paste it into some file and type "python file"
where file is what you called it. May not work on machines other
than linux since python may not be installed.
