Chan Kim | SPB | Shift summary |
X-ray delivery
- 12.72 keV, 10Hz, ~1.4 mJ/pulse, stable delivery
Optical laser delivery
- 487 nm ns laser for pump-probe
- 800 nm PP laser for jet illumination, stable delivery
Achievements/Observations
- AGIPD BG optimized (DiffPump realigned)
- IRDA focus optimized (EHC_CRL arm10 (1mm pinhole) inserted)
- Completed dark state measurement of the main sample (more than 4 hours of measurement time)
- Collected PP (pump-probe) dataset with 5 us time delay (about 3 hours of measurement time; Jet was quite stable during the 3 hrs measurement)
Issues
- AGIPD module Q3M2 was not healthy. After another power cycle, it recovered.
- X-ray pulse energy was relatively low in the beginning of the shift. It was partially recovered after running the launch optimization by BKR. |

Chan Kim | SPB | Issue |
Continuous pointing drift in horizontal direction.
It may trigger a vacuum spike at SPB OH (MKB_PSLIT section) at 21:07 pm.

Chan Kim | SPB | Shift summary |
X-ray delivery
- 7.0 keV, up to 202 pulses at 564 kHz, 1.0 mJ.

Issues
- Pulse energy is very low as compared with Tuesday and Wednesday in this week.
- Damage found on IRU_SLIT4 Top and Bottom blades.
- NKB focus moved by ~20um at around 15:00 (during the handover period). SideMic X moved +20um to compensate it. |

Optical laser delivery
- ns laser for jet illumination
Achievements/Observations
- Data collection for user sample through column
Issues

Optical laser delivery
- ns laser for particle visualization
Achievements/Observations
- NKB focus optimized
- ns laser aligned with particle beam

- measured 3 samples: roughly 2 hours per each sample
- one sample was measured with and without He gas
- Julabo chiller (AGIPD) is still on target (-32 degree)

X-ray delivery
- 6 keV, ~3.0 mJ, stable delivery
Optical laser delivery
- ns laser for particle visualization
Achievements/Observations
- measured 1 sample roughly for 9 hours (hit rate went down in the afternoon)
- Julabo chiller (AGIPD) is still on target (-32 degree)
Issues
- NKB mirror drifted in vertical direction: it was optimized again at around 9pm
- extremely low hit rate even with sucrose (extremely few particles were observed in sidemic, 1 particle within a few seconds): maybe the aerodynamic lens should be cleaned

Björn Senfftleben | | (Resolved) Issues with DAQ |
We had some trouble with the DAQ. It was not able to start runs properly.
We got the following error messages:
initially:
[00:01:27]: Problem of communication with data manager
[00:01:30]: Start new run ...
[00:01:38]: Failed starting data recording
DM: error at registerRun (Request to MDC timeouted)
after trying to start the run again:
[00:05:35]: Start new run ...
[00:05:35]: Failed starting data recording
DM: error at registerRun (Problem of communication with MDC
#Info: MDC-1100: MDC web server error: Error creating run
#Details: {'run_number': ['must be unique per proposal', 'has already been taken'], 'experiment_id': ['has already been taken']})
Cycling the DAQ resolved the issue. |
