• stable HXRSS delivery at 8.99 keV, 1 bunch. XGM intensity during the day decreased from 750 uJ to 600 uJ.
• Vacuum in sample chamber stabilized with cold trap and full beam path opened to AGIPD and endstation
• Again problems with smaract stages in DES, but imager in a good position to continue.
• First scattering data recored from water jet. Unknown, bimodal intensity distribution
• Focus characterization of SDL lower branch with knife edge, X-ray eye and SAXS speckle data. Larger (>10 um) as compared to direct beam with same focussing setup.
• Clear influence of splitter insertion on beamsize observed. Beam is smaller without splitter crystal.
• Current status: Alignment of upper branch unfinished, X-ray eye inserted, sample chamber vented

For the next shift:

• Finsish alignment of upper branch
• Characterize both beams in size with Xray eye. Try if slightly different lense combinations or M2 bender settings improve the situation.
• Overlap both beam on the sample
• Possibly insert upstream pinhole just in front of jet to clean up and ensure overlap
• Take data, enjoy
