    Since about 18:30 we've been in a crisis associated with target.
    Observed loss of polarization. Checked rates, they seemed to
    have not changed. Perhaps no loss of helium. Decided to go back
    to previous kinematics (p=1.607) to double check rates. At about
    21:00, target experts discovered a half waveplate was wrongly
    inserted, causing reverse pumping on the polarization. So, since
    it takes some time to recover from this, we'll do the rate check anyway
    in the meantime.
