_ It is reasonable to say may have an asymmetry (1st attch) in the data of
  this weekend. The reason is that we see a systematic "sign" change in
  all data points when we change on spin state (compare blue/red vs black in
  each panel). Actually it is quite convincing when you compare to the
  expected asymmetry (2nd attachment) and you ideally move the lowest
  theta point to zero, scaling all other data points (of the same
  color) rigidly. (panels: A1..A4)

_ but we also have a normalization error.

_ Note that the cumulated charges below are nearly all the same in all 4
  states. The issue discussed previously and related to the beamgate has
  been solved and contributes very little

Scaler charge (C) BEAM/TGT-VECTOR states BEAM/Unpol
                      (+/+ +/- -/+ -/-) (+/u -/u)
beamgated 1373.71 1381.06 1372.73 1375.27 0 0

- There was indeed a sign change in the beam helicity but is only an
  artefact of the analysis. See cuts.C

- Other candidates for a bad normalization are: the target intensity
  in +- state, the target polarization in target +-, the beam polarization in +- states
  and perverted problems in the analysis.

_ Possibly running for fixed spin states will help clarify the issue as
  well as running for false asymmetry data.

- The third attach is the data selection. Used cuts
