Colleagues,

https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3843753 Yan phased 0L04 cavities in 0L06 
spectrometer
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3843858 7 degree phase change needed for 
A Compton counts

after phone calls from Brad:

Examining the archiver, I found that INJ:p changed by 0.87 MeV across 
the injector work necessitated by the 0L04-4 problem.  This caused the 
ARC1 energy lock to lower the NL by the same amount.  Hall A energy 
locked by SL so it's fine.  Halls B and C lose 4*0.87 MeV and Hall D 
loses 5*0.87 MeV.  This is not good for polarization in either B or C. 
spinDoctor is broken on both RHEL 6 and 7 (see below) so I can't say how 
bad it is.  Dave Gaskell created a graph which wmhenry posted in the 
CLOG a week or so ago that showed about 1% drop per MeV.

It would seem that the only way to fix this is to go back into the 
injector and adjust BL dipoles and horizontal correctors to reduce the 
injector energy to where it was on owl shift.  Not something I want to 
do late swing shift.  I expect I'll hear from run coordinators about my 
elog and their druthers.

spinDoctor errors on RHEL6, RHEL7 roughly the same:
