h2. Actions
10
11
* ACTION  *(Pasternak/Rogers)*: determine magnetic settings routine - do we imagine "equivalent coil"? Implement iron in MAUS(!)? Run everything through OPERA?
12
* ACTION *(Rogers)*: Tolerances - controls people ask what are the tolerances on magnet current
13
14

h3. Field Off Trigger Rate
80 1 Rogers, Chris
81 3 Rogers, Chris
* Solenoid fields off triggers at TOF1 44000 TOF2 1000 
82
* Solenoid fields on triggers at TOF1 53000 TOF2 43000
83
** => 3 % rate scaling; but run with TOF2 trigger; so limit comes from ISIS/target
84
* 120 triggers per spill with the Decay Solenoid at TOF1, not including tracker deadtime
85
* Jaroslaw notes attempt to optimise was not successful

* Feldman-Cousins?
107
** Frequentist method based on likelihood ratio; can deal in an automatic way with statistical results that fall outside of physically allowed; determines upper limit or two sided; 
108
** Paul Soler suggests alternatively use Bayesian method (e.g. Higgs papers)
