<pre>Hi Mark,
I certainly agree that 10^{-4} should be achievable in a counting mode
setup, especially if one runs with a slow lock on beam position and
angle at the target like we did during Qweak.

However, I am sure that a correction can be made from the measured trajectory and the relative rates of the individual lumis. The statistics would be no problem. I can't think of a reason why 10^-4 couldn't be achieved.

That has never really been a design goal for parity-violating electron scattering type "luminosity" monitors. I think one would be better off going to large enough angles to allow running in counting mode.

Although, I guess the angle could be increased until the rate was manageable. So, the question is, to what level do you think that drifts can be controlled in a set of lumis in the integrating mode?
