Just for confirmation, are the equations for NH3 packing fraction and dilution factor (eqn. 11 and 13) also different in the new version of note (v 2.7) compared to previous versions?</div>

Hello Sebastian,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the updates, I saw a possible typo in this updated tech note in the equation of PF for ND3 (equation 15), I guess n_A should not be in the denominator in this case. Please, could you confirm this? thank you<br>
<br>
Best,</div>

<div>Dear RG-C analyzers,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I updated the tech note on dilution factor calculations based on data - see our Wiki page <a href="https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Run_Group_C_Group_Meetings" originalsrc="https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Run_Group_C_Group_Meetings">https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Run_Group_C_Group_Meetings</a><br id="x_x_lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage">
<div>I found a typo that affected the ND3 results, and I simplified all numerical expressions so they look more reasonable (and comparable to each other). Please check if you see any mistakes, and - if possible - re-calculate thePF and DF for your favorite
channel and epoch using the PF method, preferably for both NH3 and ND3, but especially the latter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, and happy weekend - Sebastian</div>

Following today's discussion, I contacted Chris to try and understand the ~10% differences that Hector observed in the PF for some ND3 epochs. </div>

Chris suggested me to look at the raster distributions, so I went back to the Elog to retrieve the raster monitoring plots, and the results are in the attached slide. It seems like there is some vertical "sagging" of the material for the runs in the epochs
having lower PF. </div>
