Status and Operational Experience with the Polarized Hydrogen Jet at RHIC

The polarized hydrogen Jet target at RHIC continues its mission to provide absolute calibration for the polarized proton beam polarimeters at RHIC. Data were collected at incoming beam momenta of 100, 24, and 32 GeV/c respectively. The statistical and systematic accuracy of the jet data at 100 GeV/c...

Zusammenfassung:The polarized hydrogen Jet target at RHIC continues its mission to provide absolute calibration for the polarized proton beam polarimeters at RHIC. Data were collected at incoming beam momenta of 100, 24, and 32 GeV/c respectively. The statistical and systematic accuracy of the jet data at 100 GeV/c achieved its goal of statistical accuracy of measuring the beam polarization to 3% in Run 5. Attempts at reducing the jet systematic uncertainty due to molecular hydrogen are also described.
