Hi,
It looks like there are potential problems with some of the Moeller
measurements.
Run 55544:
We have 4 measurements taken over a 14 minute time period with
P = 85.228 +/- 1.42
P = -78.523 +/- 1.35
P = -79.150 +/- 1.26
P = 88.700 +/- 1.48
There is a large change between the polarization values (> 10%). The Two
negative measurements are much lower than is typical and I want to take
these out of the average. Is there a reason not to remove these negative
measurements?
Run 55552:
We have 2 measurements:
P = 84.167 +/- 1.33
P = -84.725 +/- 1.53
The first measurement had True Rates = 0.00 and Accidental Rates = 0.00,
also the SLM Current = 0.125 (whereas most all other runs had SLM
Current ~ 6). The second measurement had True Rates = 1002.00 and
Accidental Rates = 3.50, with SLM Current = 1.192. (Typically the True
Rate is about 6000). Moreover, 2C21 X = 0.0 (-4.455) and 2C21 Y = 0.0
(1.560) for the first (second) measurement. I think that the Moeller
measurements for run 55552 are highly suspect and should be thrown out of
the determination of the polarization average.
Additional question: How important are the 2C21 X and Y values for the
Moeller measurement?
Take care,
Michael
