[G12] Target Position

[Volker Crede]

For the ω channel, Zulkaida found that we are loosing almost the full c.m. backward region of the charged pions if the reaction happens along the first few centimeters of the photon interacting with the target. This intensity of the cross section is essentially lost when we integrate over these zero-acceptance regions. And this introduces the large uncertainty. 

We found the effect for pππ (missing π) but it is likely happening as well for pππ (missing η). The effect may be reduced at high energies. And g11a does not show these zero-acceptance holes since the target was centered.
