    keyword=Compton polarization history 3/6 - 3/8

    Compton measurements show the (very, very roughly calibrated) beam polarization to be holding steady at 65% - 67%, as shown in Fig. 1.

    I am not concerned about the single outlier, Run 16263, which is showing a polarization of 47%. As the top pane of Fig. 2 shows, the beam was off for the majority of this run, and fairly trippy thereafter. It's reasonable for an asymmetry measured under these conditions to be diluted.
