Preparation for user experiment transient grating, Cris Svetina


Used 7.12 keV from ACC with very good performance, above 4 mJ
Got spatiotemporal overlap with transient gratings using monochromatic
beam
One issue solved by DOC: Picomotors could not be scanned in karabacon, even though this worked well two/three weeks ago

User experiment transient grating, Cris Svetina. (LTP)


Used 7.12 keV from ACC with very good performance, above 4 mJ.
Collected pump-probe data on user sample
Sudden
timing jump of around 20 ps. Could not find out why this happened some time between 9h today and 18h.
Needed to add camera to DAQ. Solved this

User experiment transient grating, Cris Svetina. (LTP)


Used 7.11 keV from ACC with very good performance, above 4 mJ.
Collected pump-probe data on user sample most of the time
today, only minor interruptions due to accelerator outages
After the outage at 21h, SASE came back with 17 eV lower photon energy, so we had
