Re: [BLAST_SHIFTS] spin angle H2 run

Hi,

for the sake of having a good check of misidentified proton events and
their asymmetry at the same target spin angle like in D2 running, Vitaliy
has requested some 40kC of hydrogen data under the same conditions.
This means 7-10 days of running at 32 degrees.

Given that the uncertainties in GEp/GMp and E2/M1 compete with each other
on the order of 20-25% for the two spin angles, I would rather recommend
to then continue at 45 degrees since the approved proposals should define
the preferences.

Regards,

  Michael
