Where

1:Number of Particles

This line tells how many particles follow the header line. For Moller Scattering, this number should always be 2.

2:Number of Target Nucleons

For this simulation, only an electron-electron collision is considered. This quantity is always set to 1 for the one stationary electron we consider the incident electron scattering from.

3:Number of Target Protons

For Moller Scattering, there are no target protons. This number is set to 1, but does not have any effect within the GEMC simulations.

4:Target Polarization

This represents the polarization of the target material, either positive or negative 1. This value is always set to 1 and has no effect within the GEMC simulations.

5:Beam Polarization

This represents the polarization of the electron beam, either negative or positive 1. This value is always set to positive 1.

6:x

This represents the Bjorken x scaling variable.

[math]x=\frac{-q^2}{2p\cdot q}=\frac{-q^2}{2M\nu}[/math]

7:y

8:W

9:[math]Q^2[/math]

This represents the squared 4-momentum-transfer vector q of the exchanged virtual photon.

10:[math]\nu[/math]

This represents the energy loss between scattering electrons.

[math]\nu = \frac{p\cdot q}{M}[/math]
