Status: tests with “half-target” foil § Target heating limits maximum pulse duration and duty factor § Instantaneous rate limits maximum foil thickness § This can be achieved with a 1 mm foil Nreal/Nrandom≈10 at 200 m. A § Rather than moving continuously, beam will dwell at certain point on target for a few ms 12
Status: tests with 1 mm “half-target” foil § tests by Hall C team during December 2004 § measurements consistent at the ~2% level § random coincidence rates were larger than expected – reals/randoms 10: 1 at 40 m. A – mabe due to distorted edge of foil – runs at 40 m. A frequently interrupted by BLM trips 13
Status: kicker + half-foil test summary Ø Ø Preliminary results look promising. Source polarization jumps under nominal run conditions make it impossible to confirm ~1% stability. Running at very high currents may be difficult – problem may have been exacerbated by foil edge distortion. Development is ongoing. § § Ø Dave Meekins is thinking about improved foil mounting design. Future tests should be done when Moller already tuned and has been used for some period of time so that we are confident we understand the polarimeter and polarized source properties. The next step is to make 1% polarization measurements at 80 m. A during G 0 backward angle run. 14

Plans: operation during Qweak phase II q To reach 1% combined systematic and statistical error, plans are to operate both Compton and Moller polarimeters during phase II. q Duration and frequency of Moller runs can be adjusted to reach the highest precision in average P-1 q Can we estimate the systematic error associated with drifts of polarization between Moller samplings? Is there a worst-case model for polarization sampling errors? 17

Summary n n n n Qweak collaboration should have two independent methods to measure beam polarization. A Compton polarimeter would complement the Moller and continuously monitor the average polarization. Using a pulsed laser system is feasible, and offers advantages in terms of background rejection. Options now exist that satisfy to Qweak requirements with a green pulsed laser, that use a simple two-pass setup. Monte Carlo studies are underway to determine tolerances on detector performance and alignment required for 1% accuracy. Space obtained at Jlab for a laser test area, together with Hall A.
