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

[Dennis Turner]

I agree with rematching injector to NL. We may find that once we rematch the injector we may have to revisit that 7E match.

My recommendation to reduce the B laser spot to ~1.3 mm round still
holds.  I also recommend rematching Injector to NL  YMMV
