Summation of xB tuning
A rough timeline: injector work to resolve charging/discharging ( https://ace.jlab.org/dtm/incidents/16963 ), xB had concerns about halo rates ( https://ace.jlab.org/dtm/incidents/16964 ), and wanted to check the optics after the halo rates were resolved.

xB Halo DTM comment
After asking some clarifying questions regarding the xB halo investigation downtime ( https://ace.jlab.org/dtm/incidents/16964 ), it seems that after the injector work, xB requested 20 nA and found the halo rates at the midstream counters unacceptable, since they thought the values were incompatible with the rates they had been enjoying at 600 nA. However, comparing the current/rates which sparked this investigation (Fig. 1) with the current/rates during ramp up after a trip during production running yesterday (Fig.
