[b1_ana] Neg. Tensor Pol.

[Dustin Keller]

Hi b1_ana,

Here is part of an e-mail that maybe of some relevance for our next
discussion:

To measure an physics asymmetry with a vector polarized target, you need
to measure events from a positively and negatively polarized target, as
you certainly know. So I assume that in your case now you have to measure
events from a positively and negatively tensor polarized target.
Tensor polarization varies between +1 and -2.
The vector polarized solid targets are automatically positively tensor
polarized and the degree of the tensor polarization can be calculated from
the measured vector polarization (assuming a Boltzman distribution among
the 3 magnetic sublevels). However it is difficult to obtain negative 
values for the tensor polarization in a polarized solid target and to
measure it precisely.

Best regards
