Ran the code l2status.py and obtained the results on the webpage online.star.bnl.gov/emcStatus/pp200/ .
Alice sent me the code statusCheckfill2.py which analyzes the sqlite3 database file l2status2012.sqlite3.
The code allowed to look at the statuses and pedestals from fill to fill and printed out a list of towers which changed their status frequently (Out of the 48 fills in total, it would mark the tower as oscillating if the status changed twice or more).
From the pdf files listed on online.star.bnl.gov/emcStatus/pp200/ I made a list of all the towers which had their status changing at least once (along with a list of their statuses for all the fills). There were a total of 94 towers in the list.
For 10 out of 94 of those towers, which had the most drastic status fluctuations I went back to the pdf's to see if their behaviour is actually fluctuating or if they are actually consistently good/bad and sometimes being assigned a bad status.
Attached is the excel sheet which illustrates this with the conclusions.
