beam parameters: 18 keV, 1 pulse on demand, 400 uJ
achieved:
- VISAR calibrations
- timing between X-rays, VISAR laser and DIPOLE laser
- main shots with DIPOLE energies up to 35 J, 10 ns flat top -> shock wave compression experiments on user targets
night shift changed the phase plate to 250 um, re-aligned everything and continued with user programme succesfully
issues:
- cryostat for the 100J is icing and needs to be defrosted which takes about 1 hour. The frequency of this happening is increasing - Over the last 24 hours it happened 3 times
- slowness of controls - especially Karabo playground MDLs
- slowness of DAMNIT and extraction of data tiff files
- ADQ412 (HED_EXP_IC2/ADC/1) stops randomly acquisition on its own
X-ray beam delivery relatively stable, could make use of bit higher pulse energy. Mirror feedbacks work fine |
