[Primexd] [GlueX] Target installation plan

[Shepherd, Matthew]

Ashot,

I don't think a survey of the beam line is needed.  I think you just need to use the existing survey.

I realized that it completely explains your asymmetry.

As Justin noted, the Compton image on the CCAL is exactly as you predict, just shifted by 2 cm.  What I neglected in my previous message is that if you make a shift of CCAL by 1 cm you effectively shift the image by 2 cm.  In your reconstruction, shifting CCAL to +x by 1 cm will make the Compton occupancy go from -9 cm to +9 cm on the CCAL (instead of -8 cm to + 10 cm).

Now, if you need to shift CCAL by 1 cm, it means that, because of the lever arm, the FCAL is shifted about 5 mm to +X.  This is exactly as reported by Simon.  And there is no vertical offset, also as reported by Simon.

Seems the conclusion is straightforward:

Your asymmetry of Compton events is not related to excess material in the beam line, or bugs in reconstruction, it is byproduct of the already known alignment of the FCAL with respect to the beam line.  Again, working with simulation done in the Hall D framework will demonstrate these effects.

Seems like you have two choices now:

* Align CCAL not on beam center but on FCAL hole center.  But then you may want to retake Be data.
* Live with existing alignment and explore systematics.

Matt
