FIG. 2.12: A typical wire scan near the extraction region showing six distinct peaks as<br />

a result from a 3-wire scanner passing through two co-propagating beams.<br />

time of the experiment, analysis was performed off-line. This resulted in unforeseen<br />

difficulties which will be discussed in Section 2.4.3.<br />

The data analysis program Igor Pro [40] was used to analyze the raw wire<br />

scans. The program has the feature that only regions selected by the user are used<br />

for curve-fitting. This is convenient for the wire scans since there are multiple peaks<br />

and also because there is the possibility of peaks which are partially merged. The<br />

program applies a Gaussian fit to the data of the form<br />

y(x) = A<br />

To account for the effect of the 45 ◦ angle of the wire scanner on the x and y profiles<br />

(the x-y profile requires no correction) the extracted sigmas are divided by a factor<br />

of √ 2.
