At the end of the MON late shift, the tuning status and obtained lasing pulse energies (ATT#1) are as follows:


SA1 at 19 keV : 660 uJ +/- 23 uJ
SA2 at 18 keV : 1073 uJ +/- 55 uJ
SA3 at
1.2 keV : 4330 uJ +/- 122 uJ

The EPD reading system at the turnstiles of XTD10 entrance were not working this morning.
A necessary ZZ access to XTD10 could not be performed in the morning and had to be postponed.
Resetting the system by Michael Prollius was not sufficient.

We observed auto changes of the number of X-ray pulses last night and tonight.

It is related to 500 um thick Si attenuator in XTD2_ATT.

Even with 2.4 mm thick CVD (XTD2_ATT) IN, the number of pulses @SA1 changes to 28 whenever we insert 500 um thick Si attenuator.

SA3 background is very strong and it affects our NKB (nano KB, Ru coating) focus.

 

Attachment 1: optimized NKB focus with 1 pulse @SA3
Entry   SASE 3 background heavily impacts our focus, posted by Diogo Filipe Monrroy Vilan e Melo on 25 Oct 2023, 02:43 Screenshot_from_2023-10-25_02-21-29.pngScreenshot_from_2023-10-25_02-36-16.pngScreenshot_from_2023-10-25_02-37-38.pngScreenshot_from_2023-10-25_02-42-21.png
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.
