Photon beam delivery status:
- Machine informed that beam will be handover to instruments SA1 (SPB/SFX) and SA3 (SXP) at 18.30hr
- Machine needs more time for SA2 and the next update will be at 20hr. |

- Machine updates;
Saturday 1:30 hr Cold compressor failed. The initial estimation of downtime was 20 hr, later in today morning crew gave a new estimation of time
of 30 hr. So the machine will be switched on and beam delivery to instruments will be tomorrow morning. Today at 3 pm, I will get more information and |

Dear All,
Two important machine updates.
1) Still, the forecasted time for the start-up of the machine will be tomorrow morning. |

Achievements:
measured the new sample, Silane, with different time delays
Problems
Tuning of SASE2 led to a 50% decrease in the SCS XGM intensity without affecting the SASE3 intensity. It also caused a jump in the BAM |

Ealier shift members managed to get a good quality image on Optique Peter by imaging the sample plane to the Optique Peter with downstream nanofocus
(CRL4b). The quality is far superiour compared to the one with upstream nanofocus, which does just a projection of sample (backlight). The decision is
to stay with the downstream CRL. They had a few full power shots. The problem of reading Zyla data when rotation = 0 is solved by Olly. He put the script |

Short summary
- Optimize the downstream nanofocus CRL to image the sample to our detector (optique Peter) - successful) |

18 Feb 2023, 23:37 Together with the last shift members, we continued shooting laser on Cu 25 um thick wire for another 2 hours. We got excellent quality
x-ray imaging with a series of time delay up to several ns (eLog ID 39). X-ray imaging is now commissioned. The magnification was x7.5.
19 Feb 2023, 01:30 We tried to go to x20, but we couldn't find the x-ray beam. We even put the burn paper in front of the Optique Peter to |

9.752 keV, self-seeding, 700-800 uJ. Intensity is very stable, ponting is also much stable than usual. very good beam.
Beamtime #3326 - Axion search.
Successfully aligned two Ge crystals to Laue conditions (Rocking curve width ~0.002 deg) . Found Laue reflections after 2 crystals on Jungfrau |

During the morning shift (7am - 3pm), we couldn't take any meaningful data due to the issue of power glitch which caused the beam permission error
(AIBS) and down of SASE2 Karabo / Online-GPFS due to the lack of cooling in the rack room.
During the late shift (3 pm - 11 pm), after these issues were solved thanks to PRC/DOC/ITDM/EEE at 5 pm..., we could get back in operation relatively |

Dear all,
I just got the information for BKR that due to a failed klystron we had a downtime around 8:40am this morning for about 30 mins.
Operation could be restarted successfully afterwards but with a different energy distribution than before. SASE2 has now reduced pulse energy |

tuning on SA2 is ongoing |

Update of the damage tests at SQS.
Yesterday (15.04) SQS staff created a focused beam on our sample using a small YAG fragment we have placed on the holder.
Due to the unusual position, the beam is full of aberrations but it looked small enough for our purpose. Estimattion of the size is difficult |

Mirror positions and beam position on the imagers for 14.8 keV SPB, 2mrad
ATTENTION: the alignment was difficult due to the strong background from SA3 with 500 pulses. For the future, maybe SA3 could reduce to single
pulse during alignment of SA1. This would make the process easier. |
