Ratio of Elastic to Inelastic Rates = = 32.5:1 = Rate ratio QTOR=100% / 75%
Aluminum Asymetry
The Aluminum asymmetry was measured to be PPM
0.2 MHz/nA using warm gas target
Warm gas contribution about same size as downstream aluminum window.
To do aluminum measurement we can't use warm gas cell.

first Inelastic Data
Asym -vs- QTOR
From Logbook entry https://qweak.jlab.org/elog/Analysis+%26+Simulation/254
The inelastic region of interest is expected to line up o the quartz bars when QTOR ~ 0.85 of its value for elastics.
In Feb 2011, QTOR(elastic) = 8921.
=> QTOR(Delta) = 0.85 \times 8921 = 7582

Combining 2 hour of data taking
QTOR= 6700 Amps
I_{beam} = 145 \mu A
= Asymmetry averaged over all Main Detectors
If I assume only having 50 \mu A then I would need to take 6 hours of data to get the same statistic as above.
If I take a week of data at 50 \muA then that would correspond to 28 runs like the above.
So the uncertainty would be reduced by The measurement would have an uncertainty of 0.579/sqrt{28} = 0.1 PPM

Data Analysis
getting Qweak data from the Silo
jcache -g hallc /mss/hallc/qweak/rootfiles/pass0/*run number here*
looking for GOOD runs in database
There is a GUI interface on cdaql4 which can be run to look at run numbers and see their quality as recorded in the data base.
On cdaql4 run
./good_for_GUI
Root file format
The Qweak root files contain 2 trees ( MPS_Tree and EL_Tree). As the names suggest, the MPS tree contains data from devices for each Helicity bin. The HLS tree constructs helicity differences and asymmetries for each device in the data stream.
The devices listed in each tree above are folders which have sorted the data into 4 time windows within the helicity gate.
In the MPS_Tree there is a Bock0, Block1, Block2, Block3.
