Good news: The 'jitter'-tests was sucessful and BKR could identify the jitter source related to a wrong software setting around the AH1 module
of injector.

This was now fixed and the jitter has disappeared

As discussed, there will be a beam interuption form 14:45 until probably 15:45 related to jitter studies at A1 that the BKR would like to try out.

After the 12 hour cryo failure last night, it was decided to exchange a faulty window with some reduced transmission at the injector laser today
(see email by Andreas to xo-info yesterday). 

This was sucessful and the injector tunnel was closed today 16:40 and restart of the gun is ongoing. Tomorrow ramp up and SASE tuning.

Photon Activities by XPD colleagues in SA3 are concluded on Sunday 23.07 at 17:00. The photon commissioning activities are concluded for this
week.

The PRC agrees with RCs to handle beam back to BKR for further tuning activities while touching common nobs.
