Abstract

Two data acquisition and processing systems are used simultaneously to measure electron beam polarization by Moller polarimeter in Hall A of Jefferson Lab (Newport News, VA, USA). The old system (since 1997) is fully functional, but is not repairable in case of malfunction (system modules arenot manufactured anymore). The new system (since 2010) based on flash-ADC is more accurate, but currently requires more detailed adjustment and further improvement. Description and specifications of two data acquisition and processing systems have been given. The results of polarization measurements during experiments conducted in Hall A from 2010 to 2012 are compared.

Data acquisition system of Moeller polarimeter Hall A Jefferson Lab (in Russian) (in Russian)

Journal Article Pomatsalyuk, Roman - Problems of Atomic Science and Technology

The structure, parameters and test results of a new data acquisition system for Moller polarimeter based on flash-ADC are presented. Flash-ADC is electronic module in VME format that consists of high-speed multichannel ADC piped type and FPGA unit on board. The use of flash-ADC has a lot of advantages: reduce of cable interconnections, events registration with higher rate, considerable decreases of system deadtime and, as result, the accuracy of polarization measurements is increases.
Accurate, low-energy Compton polarimetry for Hall C at Jefferson Lab

Conference Jones, Donald

A new Compton polarimeter has recently been commissioned in Hall C at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, VA, to provide a non-invasive, continuous measurement of electron beam polarization. The new Compton polarimeter is currently measuring electron beam polarization for Qweak, an experiment with a strict error budget allowing a combined statistical and systematic error of onlymore »« less
Upgraded photon calorimeter with integrating readout for Hall A Compton Polarimeter at Jefferson Lab

Journal Article Friend, M. ; Parno, D. ; Benmokhtar, F. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The photon arm of the Compton polarimeter in Hall A of Jefferson Lab has been upgraded to allow for electron beam polarization measurements with better than 1% accuracy. The data acquisition system (DAQ) now includes an integrating mode, which eliminates several systematic uncertainties inherent in the original counting-DAQ setup. The photon calorimeter has been replaced with a Ce-doped Gd₂SiO₅ crystal, which has a bright output and fast response, and works well for measurements using the new integrating method at electron beam energies from 1 to 6 GeV.

The Compton Polarimeter in Hall C of Jefferson

Conference Narayan, Amrendra

A new Compton polarimeter was installed in Hall C at Jefferson Lab and used during the Qweak experiment which aims to measure the weak charge of proton with a precision of 4.1%. In this polarimeter the electron beam collides with green laser light stored in a low gain Fabry-Perot Cavity; the scattered electrons are detected in 4 planes of a novel diamond micro strip detector while the back scattered photons are detected in a lead tungstate crystal. We extract the beam polarization by fitting the experimental asymmetry for each detector strip to the corresponding asymmetry calculated in QED. During themore »« less
