On 2025/07/17 SB processed the three beam maps using PIIC. Below here I copy the usual FOV plots, that show the quality of the beam maps. They are self-explanatory (cfr also the previous re-commissioning runs for more information). It is worth to point out few features, though:
 * also in this re-commissioning session, the Ar3 beam maps are bad. My feeling is that the main culprit is the focus offset of Ar3 with respect to Ar1 and Ar2.
 * there is a focus difference of ~0.3 mm between Ar2 and Ar1, a difference of ~0.3 mm between Ar1 and Ar3, and therefore a difference of ~0.6 mm between Ar2 and Ar3. These values are preliminary and come from the quick focus analysis carried out during the observing session. Note that during the first re-commissioning (run 72), Ar1 and Ar3 seemd to have a similar focus offset, but things changed after re-opnening. The idea is that this is not a real hardware change, but rather due to the fact that in run 72 the Box C was missing. In my opinion this is not so obvious, though.
 * the consequences of these focus offsets between the three arrays are that: focusing on Ar2, Ar3 is completely out of focus and not usable; fcusing on Ar1, Ar3 is still out of focus (but less dramatically) and only marginally usable.
 * there have been issues with focusing at 1.2 mm
