Hi john,
I can't answer that question directly. Maybe how to scale was ambiguosly
described. What I had in mind and said repeatedly is take these (results
from the last few days) and stretch it 300 kC, assuming current target
thickness an dpolarization

For 32 deg data I think the effect is only a factor sqrt(1.1) for the
luminosity. Adding the 45 deg spin data we get another 20% in statistics.
Of course the polarization matters more, so these contributions will
become less importn.
