Connerning the phase shifter adjustment after undulator gap scan via karabo:

At 19:30 FXE tested the scan change via Karabo with BKR. When the energy was changed with step size of 100 eV, the intensity of X-ray stays unchanged.
This means the phase shifter adjusment is corrrected and it is working now.

Concerning SASE1:

Please note that for this week the "remote power limit" was set to 5 Watt in order to protect CRL1.
The photon energies this week are 5.5 keV (FXE, day) and up to 7keV (SPB/SFX, night).

We found that the x-ray pulse energy dropped a lot when we changed the undulator from 5.5 keV to 5.45 keV. We called BKR to optimise it (attachment
1)
=> There is a problem with the phase shifter of the undulator. It stacks sometime. If the x-ray intensity drops, we need to ask BKR to optimise

Vacuum issue at XTD2 tunnel which might be triggered by SA1_XTD2_ATT Arm5 (1.2mm thick CVD diamond)

It happened once again at around 3pm.

Entry   Summary: Night 13th and Day 14th, posted by Thomas Baumann on 14 Sep 2023, 16:49 
The late shift on the 13th fixed remaining problems with the DLD and the calibration pipeline.

The night shift was then able to collect data on O2 using the two-color mode. Systematic studies were done at different photon energies for both
colors. This was done for full FEL intensity and 10%.

Improved the alignment procedure:

Using the pin to make sure of the spatial overlap
SAXS signal is used to make sure
the pin is well centered on the X-ray beam path
YAG is only used in combination with ILM to fix with ~5 um precision the height of the beam
(moving CRLs on laser focus) and the temporal overlap.
