Hi,
>From CLAS-Note 2003-017 (Mike William's kinematic fitting CLAS-Note), the
lambda resolution of CLAS from the TBER bank (using data with 0.5*B_max)
is about 2.5 mrad. The value of lambda used in the kinematic fitter was
1.5 times as that given in TBER.
This gives us a resolution of about 0.21 degrees for lambda. Priya's pull
distributions for lambda of the proton (momentum < 1.0 GeV) have the pull
maxing out at about 0.5 for angles near -90 degrees.
If I take the standard deviation for lambda to be 0.21 degrees and assume
a transverse path-length of 1 meter, I can get the same sort of results as
Priya if the coordinate system of CLAS was displaced from the "true"
coordinate system by about 1.8 mm in the x-direction.
It is starting to look like the lambda pulls might be explainable by
simply shifting the reaction vertex by a small amount.
Another way of looking at this, is that our systematic error in phi is
about 0.1 degrees.
Take care,
Michael
