Hi,
I have put some example code on the phase space dependent scale factors at
http://clasweb.jlab.org/rungroups/g9/wiki/index.php/Mike%27s_analysis_page#Phase_space_scale_factors_.28version_1.29
I have the requested scale factor plots:
Reminder: The reaction is
gamma p -> p pi+ pi- Y,
where massY^2 < -0.1 GeV^2
and the scale factors are simply equal to the NumberOfEvents_from_Butanol
divided by NumberOfEvents_from_Carbon
Proton TBTR scale factors:
http://www.jlab.org/~dugger/g9/g9a/tmp/sfSlices1.gif
http://www.jlab.org/~dugger/g9/g9a/tmp/sfSlices2.gif
where the y-axis is the value of the scale factor, the x-axis is theta lab
angle, and the value of the fixed momentum is shown clearly on each panel.
For momentum above ~600 MeV/c the scale factors might be well represented
with a zero-order polynomial. For momentum below ~550 MeV/c, there is a
strong momentum and theta dependence.
Pi+ TBTR scale factors:

These look good. We can probably use the negative Mass^2 scale factors
for the pi+ reaction :)
MVRT scale factors:

http://www.jlab.org/~dugger/g9/g9a/tmp/sfSlices2mvrt.gif
These look much better than the Proton TBTR scale factors, but not as good
as I expected. There is still a strong momentum and theta dependence for
momentum below ~500 MeV/c. This might be due to low angle and low momentum
protons having difficulties "swimming" through the target.
Take care,
Michael
