Achievements:
- Improved the vacuum of the chamber slightly
- Found the spatial overlap between FEL and jet
- Found the spatial overlap between FEL and PP laser on pBN (but may not be the same on liquid jet)
Problems:
- Beam loss for 6+ hours, from 23.00h to 5.15h due to fuse tripping in the laser system of the electron gun
- While fixing the beam loss, the machine seemed to have trouble with timing. So if fine timing can't be found, perhaps it's worth it to check rough timing again.
- The rough pumps in the room are full of water. We solved this by taking 2 rough pumps and connecting them directly to the chamber.
- The antenna cable is too bulky. So the sample plate should only be rotated to -90 deg (-358.65 actual), as rotating the other way will severely tilt the sample plate. |
