A review and analysis of the Super BigBite Spectrometer focusing on optics and spin transport. This review discusses the measurement of target parameters and evaluates higher order effects. It also proposes strategies for using SNAKE to create trajectory databases and determine errors through Monte-Carlo simulations.

1st Order Optics e.g. Etc. Subsequently: If you know how well you can measure x, x’, y, and y’, you know how well you can determine the target parameters (provided xtar = 0)
Higher Order Effects? • Strategy: • Use SNAKE to create a database of trajectories and then fit the reconstruction tensor. (higher order terms) • Use the reconstruction tensor in a Monte-Carlo fashion to evaluate the errors.

Spin Transport Non-dispersive precession Dispersive precession Target Target to Reaction Plane Reaction Plane
Spin Transport Because of Pl - Pt mixing, the non-dispersive bend angle contributes a factor ~100 to the FF ratio systematic error. However, it is very small: ±1.1 mrad (FWHM) and can be reconstructed with high precision (~0.1mrad).
Still to do (optics wise anyway) • Finalize magnet and insert 3-D map into SNAKE • Repeat analysis described here • …
