  9. Basic Beamline Monitoring Requirements. • The electron beam intensity (current measuring cavity), tagger focal plane counting rate and the collimated photon flux (pair spectrometer) must be maintained at a ~1-2% ratio. If any one changes with respect to the others, re-tuning will be necessary. • Incident electron beam direction and position (2 cavity position monitors upstream of radiator). • Photon beam direction and position ( active collimator, 3 active photon monitors). • Absolute photon flux ( lead-glass detector/pair spectrometer). • Photon polarisation.

  10. Photon Polarimetry. • It is proposed to measure the photon degree of linear polarisation for ( Hz tagged rate on target measured by the microscope ) by: • a) Indirectly. • Comparing the shapes of the measured and calculated ratios -diamond /amorphous tagger focal plane spectra – over the complete energy range of the tagger. • Both the ungated, and gated with photons passing through the collimator, measured focal plane spectra are required. • The gating signal could come from the pair spectrometer. • This is one reason why a broad band tagger is necessary.

  11. b) Directly. • Various techniques have been studied by Yerevan/Connecticut – 2 papers are in press. • They make 2 recommendations. • measure the azimuthal distribution of events from nuclear pair production with a Si strip detector triggered by the pair spectrometer, and • measure hadronic asymmetries - distributions from production – using the GlueX spectrometer.

  12. Details of the Photon Beamline and Tagging Spectrometer will be presented in the following presentations.
