We've written up a Gottfried-Jackson boost and ran all the data (minus a few faulty disks) as well as 1.5 M Monte Carlo events through the analysis code.
Because the four-vector of the recoil particle is used in the Gottfried-Jackson boost, we needed to ensure that the reconstructed recoil particle was reasonably close to the theoretical expectation.
Accordingly, we plotted the dot product of the reconstructed recoil direction with beam-forward. This is shown below. In the data we cut on this below .9.
We studied acceptance as a function of invariant mass, t, cos(theta), and phi in the GJ frame. The acceptances, uncorrected distributions, and corrected distributions are shown in the links below.
