Hi,

please find these minutes along with RF's and CZ's talks on
http://blast.lns.mit.edu/PRIVATE_RESULTS/USEFUL/\
ANALYSIS_MEETINGS/meeting_050824/

Agenda:
-Discussion of Pzz from d(e,e'd) elastic (CZ) and from d(e,e'p) (RF):
 What are the values (for the same dataset), what are the systematics.
-Set up discussion list for meeting with H. Arenhoevel

Minutes:
-Renee is showing remotely her slides on Pzz from quasielastic d(e,e'p)
 +poor agreement of AdT with MC at high pmiss
 +Pzz=0.577+-0.0086 averaged over Q2=0.1-0.5 (CZ-Abbott-III: 0.558+-0.02)
 +shape of costhM agrees better ... (thM is angle between spin and pmiss)
 +high-pm disagreement at low Q2, better agreement at higher Q2
 +costhM agreement good at low Q2, but bad at high Q2
 +Data/MC agreement was better in 2004!
 +Q2 dependence of extracted Pzz for 2005, not so in 2004; only the
  average agrees with CZ's Pzz. Pzz rising with Q2 (as opposed to hPz).
 +In discussing 2004-2005 consistency, AedV shows feature in both datasets
  of Q2 dependent hPz (question if it can be attributed to deviation of
  nucleon form factor from dipole
 +What if different target spin states show different degrees of tensor
  polarization - false asymmetries should be checked, e.g. AedT (=0)
 +Kinematic corrections: Update of magnetic field map soon available;
  CC currently studying wch/geometry effects
 +Different Q2 bins may prefer different regions of z at target.
  Polarization may be z-dependent

-CZ's update on Pzz:
 +VEPP-3 (2003) use the same Q=1.96fm^-1 for Pzz normalization (Phillips),
  Pzz 3% smaller than if using Arenhoevel
 +Arenhoevel poorly describes GM (or B)
 +Abbott-III is used:
  2004:Pzz=0.678+-0.014(stat)+-0.013(recon)+-0.001(spinangle)+-0.034(theo)
  2005:Pzz=0.558+-0.014(stat)+-0.013(recon)+-0.001(spinangle)+-0.028(theo)
 +Showing T20 plots and residues (data-model)/model.
  No significant Q2 dependence. Some Q2 dependence of residue may be
  introduced if the most extreme theories are used for normalization.
 +Theoretical uncertainty estimation by variance of various theories in
  case of T20. However, there is only one model for e,e'p quasielastic.
 +For Pzz from e,e'p, question is how well Arenhoevel model holds at high
  Q2/ high pm
 +What does good aggreement for costhM mean if pmiss disagrees strongly?
  Wrong model? Wrong pmiss reconstruction?

-Shopping list for H. Arenhoevel:
 +H.A. at Bates on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. Make available to him list
  of discussion points and the three theses of VZ,CC,AM.
 +Do we have enough calculations (-> use realistic N-FF's)?
  In the end, BLAST should deliver self-consistent results:
  Parameterizations of world+BLAST data should be used in deuteron model
  used in turn to determine nucleon form factors, in a loop
 +ed elastic vs. quasielastic as Pzz polarimeter: theoretical
  uncertainties
 +AedV: Q2 dependence of hPz: z-dependence of polarization or due to
  deviation of realistic form factors from dipole?
 +D-state for deuteron: deviations in AedV at mediate pmiss
 +Which parts of the deuteron model are well, which are not so well
  under control?
 +Deuteron quadrupole moment issue
 +Pion production; preformed double-deltas
 +Limitations of the deuteron model w.r.t. maximum momentum?
 +How can model be modified (wave function) to accomodate data?

Next analysis meeting is on Tuesday 8/29/2005 at 09:00 at Bates.
All physics channels are to be reviewed, im preparation of the upcoming
meetings in Hawaii, Milos, Sanata Fe, ...

Regards,

   Michael
