X-ray delivery

  • 12.8 keV, 1 pulse, ~0.7 mJ

Achievements/Observations

  • Except for some downtime due to beam down, majority of the time was for data collection
  • 6 windows of a chip collected, with variations in shots spacing (30 um and 60 um) and rotation

Issues

  • Something is still causing beam drift constantly, even though we can correct it with the feedback.

X-ray delivery

  • 12.8 keV, 1-20 pulses at 47 kHz, 500-700 uJ.
  • Pulse energy constantly decaying since ~3:00.

Achievements/Observations

  • Continuous SFX data collection since 00:10.

Issues

  • Apparent mechanical issue with one motor. To be investigated before the restart of beam delivery.
  • Beam horizontal drift still present, but not as pronounced as earlier this week.

X-ray delivery

  • 6 keV, ~2.7 mJ, stable delivery

Optical laser delivery

  • ns laser for particle visualization

Achievements/Observations

  • NKB focus optimized
  • ns laser aligned with particle beam
  • particle injector position optimized
  • 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)

Issues

  • Beam drift in vertical direction: Rz has to be corrected during the measurement and moved by 0.2 mm in total in whole day (~18 hours)

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

X-ray delivery

12.5 keV, ~1.6 mJ

Achievements/Observations:
Collected almost 40 runs of the priority sample with 7 pulses per train using the Polypico injection system.

Issues:
Jungfrau controller issue when changing back to single cell adaptive to collect powder data with new geometry (solved together with DOC).
Pipeline issue after requesting single cell correction - still the same bug in the calibration pipeline, the pipeline has to be re-instantiated after the change.

End of in-house 8496

X-ray delivery

15.13 keV 30 pulses @0.5 MHz and 64 pulses (customized pattern), 0.85-1.0 mJ stable delivery

Achievements/Observations

  • We used the customized pattern and it worked well, thanks to everyone involved
  • One fuse was blew, TS OCD had to come on site
  • Interlock was brocken accidently with the shutter open, which tripped the beam in all SASEs
