MessageThe most obvious explanation for why the post-edge scans line up and the
pre-edges don't is that the transmission chamber
current amp or V/F is saturated and reads a fixed value below the edge. As the
ring current decays, I0 goes down while
It is fixed below the edge, so ln(I0/It) decreases as observed. With this
explanation, and noting that ln(I0/It)
decreased by about 0.05 in an hour, I infer that the stored-beam lifetime is
~20hr.

Attached is a brainteaser which I think is cute. Too late for the April
fool's day but still...
Some comments: three consecutive scans of the same sample were taken in this
order: scan 1, 2 and 3. Duration: 30 minutes per scan.
If these data look unusual to you please tell us why and what could've
happened in this experiment.
Those of you who send first three correct answers will be acknowledged!
Anatoly
