Q1

At lower current background subtraction gets worse, because singal/noise drops.

parabola fit for x-projection:

In m unit

y = 3.69167*10^(-6) -3.89000*x*10^(-6) + 4.79738*x.*x*10^(-6)

In mm unit

y = 3.69167 -3.89000*x + 4.79738*x.*x

X and Y emittances are different. The parabola in X reaches min around 0.4, while in Y reaches around 0.15. Which suggests quadrupole strengths of X and Y are way different for same coil current. Which might suggest beam is not centered, because when beam is off-centered we have this can occur.
