Abstract (official link is at http://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/APR07/Event/64669 ):
Lognumber: APR07-2007-000800
Title: Analysis of Systematic Errors in the MuCap Experiment
The MuCap experiment seeks to measure the rate of ordinary muon
capture by the proton to 1\% precision, thereby determining the
nucleon's weak induced pseudoscalar form factor, $g_P$, to 7\%.
To achieve this goal, we must confront a multitude of systematic
effects. We recently completed analysis of our 2004 data set and
obtained a capture rate measurement precise to 2.5\%; analysis of
data recorded in 2005--2006 is currently under way and should
ultimately yield results within the design goal. In this talk I
will discuss the methods used to study, quantify, and reduce the
systematic errors in the analysis of the 2004 data, and I will
examine anticipated improvements for future analysis. |
