    keyword=Source study concluded

    Concluded source study in the injector (access was required to Hall A, so no 
    beam past 45 MeV).
    
    We performed RHWP scans with and without  "Delta" offsets for both IHWP states.
     
    We were able to find running positions for both IHWP states that provide 
    reasonably small position differences while also zeroing the charge asymmetry.  
    A closer look at the data we've collected will provide more specific and 
    reliable indication of the sources of position differences. A preliminary 
    inspection suggests involvement
    from a significant analyzing power gradient and possibly a polarization 
    gradient on the beam incident to the Pockels cell (as well as the usual 
    birefringence gradients).  The problems don't appear to be conspiring against 
    us, so we're pretty happy.
    
    IA slope was also taken.  The slope dropped by 40% during the gun change.   A 
    coupling of about 1.2 nm/ppm in some bpms was observed; this is a little more 
    position difference coupling than we like. Increasing the IA slope might help 
    us with this; we'll play with the picomotor soon.
