keyword=Half-Wave Plate Scan
At 0400, G0 began their scan of the Rotatable Half-wave Plate.... a common element on the injector laser table that effects the Charge Asymmetry observed in every Hall.
This scan ended at 1000 (G0 DAQ and Beam problems made this scan a bit more time consuming than was expected).
Quick result: G0 has set the half-wave plate the 37.5 degress (Close to where they expect to minimize the charge asymmetry for Hall-C).
**** At this angle, Hall-A measures a charge asymmetry of ~-2400ppm ****
Below are the details of the scan that was performed by the Parity DAQ:
