[BTeam] B beam is blown. For that matter, the whole machine is blown.

Colleagues,
A selection of elogs. Scan the logbook for a fuller picture.
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4380694 Yan's summary Wednesday
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4381729 IHAAE01 with B beam
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4381709 IHAAE01 with A beam
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4380687 chopper scans - B beam widest
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4380556 laser size measurements in pdf
All values 4 sigma from pdf
A laser X 1.60 mm Y 1.61 mm
B laser X 1.92 mm Y 2.00 mm
C laser X 1.22 mm Y 1.27 mm
D laser X 1.27 mm Y 1.42 mm
Joe told me that they allow a larger spot for B because of the narrow
slit. The slit constains the beam in the longitudinal dimension, not
transversely.
I suggest the B laser spot be adjusted to match C and D, ~1.3 mm in both
planes, this morning.

Scraping in AL and BL. No response on the first kick in either plane
implies to me that the injector-NL match is blown. The sensitivity to
MBL0R03 suggests the beta functions there are far larger than the design
(x,y) (19.1, 13.3) m.
