Motivation
• Q2 determination, background studies, all done at 10 nA using tracking system.
• Region III operable up to 100 nA.
• Qweak production running 180 A.
• Need a way to extrapolate over 3 orders of magnitude.

Proposal• Construct a scanning detector with small
active area to sense high-energy electrons and operable at any beam current.
• Similar technique used in E158 and HAPPEx.
• For E158, it was used to determine optics parameters, confirm Monte Carlo predictions of rates.

Principle of E158 Scanner
• For E158, PMT operated in current mode.

Qweak Scanner
• Always operate in pulse-counting mode, use 2” tubes.• Coincidence requirement to reduce background from light
guides.• V-shape to fit in Qweak

Procedure• Measure light distribution with scanner at
low beam current acceptable to region III and Cherenkov bar coincidence.
• Measure light distribution with scanner at 180 uA.
• If they are the same, region III/Cherenkov light distribution believable at 180 uA to high confidence.– Note: scanner light map will not be the same as
the region III/Cherenkov bar coincidence map.

Additional Uses of a Scanner Detector
• Scan over large fiducial region, into inelastic region, over Cherenkov bar light guides, to get additional confidence in backgrounds.
• “Light map” can be compared to simulation.• Q2 extrapolation/determination
– mini-torus setting during production running?– gas vs. liquid target extrapolation?– at least, complementary to region III.
