a few days ago I received the email, that I report at the end of my<br>
message, from Patrick.<br>
Here is my first-draft proposition, for the table that Patrick requests,<br>
for RGB:<br>
<br>
(a) 11 GeV<br>
(b) 10.6 GeV (it is the maximum energy we had so far for RGB) - or should<br>
we put 10.7 to be consistent with the current expectations for Hall B<br>
reported in Patrick's message?<br>
(c) a reduction of beam energy impacts mainly the nDVCS, Gmn, and J/psi<br>
experiments, as it reduces the kinematic reach in not-yet-explored<br>
regions. Measuring DVCS at highest-possible Q2, in particular, is crucial<br>
to ensure applicability of the leading-twist formalism for GPDs.<br>
(d) running longer can help increase the statistics in the<br>
statistics-starved kinematics at high Q2, where the cross section drops.<br>
<br>
Can you please give me your feedback on this table, as soon as possible?<br>
Please reply directly to the mailing list.<br>
Thanks a lot and best regards,<br>

Dear contact persons of '11-GeV runs' in Hall-B,<br>
<br>
Earlier this year, DOE has performed an Operations Review which was<br>
concluded with a list of comments and recommendations. One particular<br>
recommendation is to... "Develop a beam energy requirement document for<br>
the approved experiments in the experimental halls, complete with physics<br>
justifications. This document must be distinctly separate from issues<br>
pertaining to reliability."<br>
<br>
Physics division will compile, for each experiment still to run, (a)<br>
Proposed Energies, (b) Minimum Acceptable Maximum Energy if 12 GeV was<br>
proposed, (c) Science Impact of difference from 12 GeV, and (d) any<br>
potential mitigation such as run longer.<br>
<br>
The focus of this recommendation is a review/justification for a 12-GeV<br>
CEBAF beam (equiv. to 11 GeV delivered to Hall B) as compared to a beam<br>
with some 100s MeV less energy.<br>
<br>
Can you please give me input to the requested table entries (a) to (d)?<br>
Feel free to justify running at 11 GeV for Hall B with some extra<br>
narrative if the table is not sufficient. I believe, we can give common<br>
numbers for experiments in run groups for which the science impact and the<br>
potential mitigation is similar. However, I don't think that we can<br>
combine all experiments from a run group.<br>
<br>
Let me remind you, the scheduled beam energy for the next run is 1060 MeV<br>
per linac, equiv. to 10.70 GeV in Hall B. Plans are in place to increase<br>
this to 1090 MeV, equiv. to 11 GeV in Hall B for the FY26, but not at all<br>
cost.<br>
<br>
Physics division is not moving quickly on this, so a reasonable target to<br>
have all information compiled is August 20, 2024.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Patrick<br>
<br>
