CONCLUSIONS with a caveat • from this preliminary study a misalignment is noticed which correspond to an angle of • 0.286o : it is the angle by which the bottom tip of the target (at its lowest point) sees • the entrance of Q1 • how important is this to pion collection at the 1st Q-pole? • my gut feeling says: not relevant • the real answer should rely on a MC simulation • I used an old reference (1st survey by CCLRC) because I think I understand the drawings. • Also partly used info from note 216, but I found it a bit more difficult to understand. • So I want to have the latest figures and re-calculate the axis of the q-poles towards the • target plane • before launching yourself into simulations let me be convinced of the numbers MICE Beam Line PC - 031008
