X-ray delivery

• 9.3 keV, up to 181 pulses at 564 kHz, 1.8 - 1.9 mJ

Optical laser delivery

• PP Laser, 800nm, 50 fs, up to 181 pulses @ 564 kHz and 91 pulses at 282 kHz, stable delivery

Achievements/Observations

• Installed and aligned fixed target for pump-probe measurement
• Measured t0 with fixed target at IRU, scan tool to measure t0 was also tested
• Optimized Bimuth fixed target sample for diffraction condition
• Recorded pump-probe data (30 min 1 hour)
• Spatial and temporal overlap of X-ray and PP laser at PAM

Issues

• Issue with homing smaract stages used in fixed target. Solved by exchanging the stages for now but need to be checked later.
• Difficulties in observing pump-probe signal in online data analysis although diffraction signal could be seen and optmized on the fluorescent paper on DN500 and AGIPD detector
  • Data collected for further offline analysis
