    keyword=Drift in Compton chicane vertical position

    Over the past two hours, there was a significant drift in the y-position of the beam in the Compton chicane (Fig. 1; this is the orange line). The y-position became more negative by about -0.12 units.

    Interestingly, the photon rates (blue line) remained stable throughout this time. Fig. 2 (from the run taken roughly during the same time as the strip chart shows) displays a measured asymmetry of the same value we'd been seeing before -- not diluted.
