Basic Beamline Monitoring Requirements.
1. The electron beam intensity (current measuring cavity), tagger focal plane counting rate and the collimated photon flux (pair spectrometer) must be maintained at a constant ratio. If any one changes with respect to the others, re-tuning will be necessary.
2. Incident electron beam direction and position (2 cavity position monitors upstream of radiator).
3. Photon beam direction and position ( active collimator, 3 active photon monitors).
4. Absolute photon flux ( lead-glass detector/pair spectrometer).
5. Photon polarisation.
Photon Polarimetry.
It is proposed to measure the photon degree of linear polarisation for ( Hz tagged rate on target measured by the microscope ) by:
a) Indirectly.
• Comparing the shapes of the measured and calculated ratios -diamond /amorphous tagger focal plane spectra – over the complete energy range of the tagger.
• Both the ungated, and gated with photons passing through the collimator, measured focal plane spectra are required.
• The gating signal could come from the pair spectrometer.
• This is one reason why a broad band tagger is necessary.

b) Directly.
Various techniques have been studied by Yerevan/Connecticut – 2 papers are in press.
They make 2 recommendations.
• measure the azimuthal distribution of events from nuclear pair production with a Si strip detector triggered by the pair spectrometer, and
• measure hadronic asymmetries - distributions from production – using the GlueX spectrometer.
