Last night Operations performed some rigorous tests on the effect of various
magnets on the target holding field. All of these magnet systems steer the
electron beam. Below is a summary of these results.

BLAST at normal polarity = 6730 Amps
Transverse Holding Field = 500 Amps
Longitudinal Holding Field = 250 Amps
BRP setting = 170 Amps
Data was taken starting from the bottom of the table to the top
Holding Fields were cycled at each step
