Through some discussion about different ways to lock in this energy offset, I noticed that the dipole setting has been changed a few times throughout the run. The change is on the order of 0.2% but not sure if it's significant, but wanted to bring it to the
attention of those listed here. Striptools attached. One indication of this is having to set an energy offset in ARC2 of +1E-4 vs -1E-4 to give a similar HALLA:dpp.</div>

As I am fond of saying, and I believe to be accurate, the CEBAF accelerator runs on an "unstable fixed point." This means that if we had a single electron at a well-defined trajectory and energy, it would generally go where we want it through the several passes
and all of the vibrating and otherwise not quite perfect hardware. The optics and RF are configured to handle, to first order, deviations in timing, trajectory and energy, and bring not quite perfectly aligned beam particles through the machine in close proximity
to the "reference particle."</div>

Largely due to M56 longitudinal residual errors, inflated energy spread results in increased bunch length, which cascades into further increased energy spread (particles falling off the RF crest). This is an avalanche kind of thing. When once sufficiently
seeded, these particles fall out of the "bucket" and cause miscellaneous grief. One particularly efficient "seed" in this process is bunch length tails from the injector. The off-time particles quickly deviate in energy from the reference particle, and rapidly
grow more distant from it longitudinally. Deteriorating beam properties result in beam loss at tight apertures in the accelerator, particularly at dispersive regions. Each Compton chicane is such an area, but there are others.</div>

Within limits, the machine is more tolerant of energy errors at the front end than it is of excessive bunch length, but this is really just a statement that it is harder for our injector hardware configuration to control the bunch length than the energy spread.
Valerie Lebedev found that compressing the errant longitudinal particles by trading against energy error improved beam transport to the halls. We still find this.</div>

It is helpful to separate emittance from energy spread. One reason I want to site high-arc SLMs in dispersive regions is to provide a non-invasive monitor allowing observation of the effects of this cascade. The Arc 7A SLMs are targeted at an alternate and
much more time-efficient means of matching the beam in the arcs, because transverse matching avoids unnecessary emittance growth. They are at regions of minimal accessible dispersion because that helps target the transverse matching goal. But having SLMs
at dispersive locations reveals specifically a creep in energy spread. (This is also why the 1A/2A SLMs are at specifically highly dispersive locations.) The Compton chicane counters are sensitive to particles significantly separated spatially from the reference
particle. The accelerator is less able to put longitudinally errant particles from the injector at The Right Place in that chicane than energetically errant particles.<br>

I plan to have a closer look at global beam loss as a function of 0L04 phase, this is also maybe useful to determine what we are doing to the machine. Perhaps if it is just reduced size through the Compton it would be best to go back and try an Optics solution
