Hi Chi,

I would like to offer the program, HoldField_BiotSavart.h, for the
holding field map. I already sent it to everybody but it is most likely
ignored by everybody because of my lack of explanations. I may be able
to give you people the more comprehensive explanations of the mapping
method and the theory next week's analysis meeting. For the moment,
please bear with me with just one of the results, x=y=z=0.ps, which is
the curves obtained after the global fit to the Karen's data of two
dimensions.

The program set, HoldField_BiotSavart.h and HoldCoil_BiotSavart.h, gives
most comprehensive semi-theoretical magnetic field, which should be fast
enough for the charged-particle trajectory tracing for the wire chamber
calibration and GEANT Monte calro simulation as well as the target
polarization angles. For the moment, it predicts the measured field
within 30 G, but for most cases the errors are much smaller. There
should not be too long before the final version is released. The files
are located at /scratch/bud18/shino.

Thank you,
Aki
