This entry is a followup to: 160320

The problem Bryan noted last night (poor injector transmission and large charge 
asymmetry width) is recurring tonight.  I complained to MCC, with the caveat 
that they shouldn't interrupt beam delivery to fix it... but if it is easy, 
just tweak it up.  They seemed to understand that we care, but not so much we'd 
rather not take beam...

By the way, MCC induced a beam trip to check our transmission with A beam only. 
 The answer, ~89%, was within a couple of percent of what is measured when B is 
on.

Tomorrow we should have an injector expert (Reza?) take a look at this.  There 
are two possible problems: 1) creation of beam position differences due to 
clipping and 2) creation of beam position differences due to large PITA 
feedback trying to counteract effects from helicity correlated transmission.   
But right now, position differences don't look particularly bad and the PITA 
feedback values are still reasonable.
