keyword=Compton asymmetry flip after HWP removal
After the HWP removal on Wednesday, we see a sign flip in the Compton asymmetry -- as expected. Now blue (laser left polarization) is positive at the Compton edge while red (laser right polarization) is negative.
Asymmetry is still ~7% at the Compton edge, implying that the degree of polarization is much the same as before.
