  1. Source flux accuracy from BLC analysis A. Strong MPE June 2002

  2. Evaluation of absolute flux determination accuracy BLC long-distance runs ISDC system spiros 3.3 IRFs from GSFC (old: isdc `7', new `11') singles+multiples various source angles compared to new beam monitor fluxes Details: http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~aws

  3. 60Co 1173 keV angle=0 run 31 previous result (Dec 2001): fluxes too low by factor ~0.74 Several factors in same direction now improve this: old IRF new IRF 1170-1180 keV 1.5551.704 1163-1183 keV 1.6121.769 so extending energy range and new IRF gives 13.7% increase 13.7% increase Following corrections were not done before: correction for monitor (mask)-camera 1.71 m = 2.7% correction for divergence of beam ~ 2.7% New beam monitor analysis (David Attie): ~10% so combined factors increase factor from0.74 to0.97 i.e. Improvement, better consistency than expected from GSFC photopeak efficiency results from Dec 2001 meeting.
