Attch 1: We were having trouble focusing at IRU chamber. After multiple attempts the best we could achieve was 2.9-3.1 um beam.
Attch 2: We then wanted to test if this was caused by the SASE 3 background, after them changing from >350 pulses to 1, we saw an instant improvement of ~0.5um down to 2.3 um beamsize.
Attch 3: After optimizing without SASE 3 background, we got down to 1.9 um (1 um less then with SASE 3).
Attch 4: Finally, after SASE 3 changing back to their <350 pulses the beam now changed from 1.9 to 3.9 um! (instead of the previous 3.1um)
This because the SASE1+SASE3 focus =/= SASE1 focus....
We did not have much time to tune the beam without SASE 3 background, we should think about managing this tomorrow during alignment, and also for data collection... |
