    Entry number 374271

    This entry is a followup to: 374263

    keyword=[target] polarization, last 16 hours

    A follow-up to halog 374263, which showed the target polarization
    snapshot from the target gui for the last hour. Here I show it from
    the last 16 hours, using data the TO has recorded.

    Some of the fluctations are caused by beam trips (when beam goes
    away the polarization increases).

    From a crude fit to a hypothesis N = N0 e^{-t/tau}, I get a
    pretty decent lifetime tau = 211 +/- 48 hours. Seems high,
    but as you can see the polarization is pretty stable.
