    keyword=re: helicity errors

    I would suggest (based on past experience) that "helicity errors" may be
    more an artifact of the algorithm getting confused when it misses many
    helicity transitions -- e.g. due to a beam trip (no triggers for a period
    of time) or other deadtime. Try checking stable running conditions and
    if they are ok we are probably in good shape. If you are worried you can
    do a run with 100 Hz of T8 (ps8=10) which ensures that all the helicity
    transitions (30Hz) are seen even if beam trips. Such a run could be done
    once every couple days until the fear goes away.
