Hi john:
the ed-vector spin correlation parameter can be redundantly determined
by determining the asymmetry for fixed spin (flipping beam) or fixed
beam helicity (flipping target).
We could wave hands at false asymmetries there, but actually only if
we have absolute |V+|, |V-| information from QE ee'p.
