SPB (A. Mancuso): 

• ​Users are in good shape
• Beam operation with ca. 600 microJ, but beam seems to be ring-shaped after M2?
• Preparing for first pump&probe experiments in November.
• Start of the focussing mirror controls should start after the user run

FXE ():

• ​Was not present at the beginning of the meeting, so nothing was reported.

Tunnels (M. Dommach):

• SASE1:
  • Nothing particular.
• SASE3:
  • ​Preparing for the works in XTD10 during the Oct. shutdown are ongoing.
  • PES: Will just be connected to vacuum & pumped, not functional.

Laser (M. Lederer)

• Sustained small damage during set-up
• Not much time left until user run requires PP-laser
• Issue regarding motors not coming back to their position reliably still persists / is not solved. ==> To be tackled by Gabriele (CAS) + Nerea / Nicola / Janna (AE)

Detectors (P. Lang)

• Detectors are in operation
• Works in Oct. shutdown mostly indepenent from other groups
• LPD & Gotthard run together, but Gotthard has not yet detected X-rays?

Electronics (P. Gessler)

• Preparing for Oct. shutdown
• Train-builder should be tested in the Winter shutdown, because the contract only runs until March.

ITDM (K. Wrona)

•  There are some issues with run-control, being investigated.

Software (S. Brockhauser):

• Daily meetings with FXE & SPB.
• C. Youngman is working on the Master Equipment List for SASE3. The basic assumption is to copy any configurations/parameters from SASE1 to SASE3.
• Focussing now more on the SASE1-issues (e.g. Karabo-DOOCS-Interface ==> will mirror devices from Karabo into DOOCS.)

Priorities & Schedule (T. Tschentscher, G. Wellenreuther):

• Performance of SASE1 has to be improved, in particular the performance of the accelerator. This has higher priority than continuing building up SASE3 or SASE2.
• For example, the measurement of gain curves requires the MCP, consequently its completion has highest priority.
• The control room also needs fast & direct access to more devices than just the XGM to properly tune lasing, consequently the Karabo-DOOCS interface has highest priority.
• For the overall planning of the next ca. 5 weeks all groups are expected to report back to T. Tschentscher & PSPO until Wednesday next week. PSPO will produce a Gantt-chart of all activities. Template for the feedback will be sent around still today.
• PSPO is tracking ALL major activities associated in all SASEs in the presentation shown. Missing items to be reported to G. Wellenreuther. Will be revisited on a ca. monthly timescale
• Planning for the next shutdown in December should commence in early November (= after the upcoming shutdown), to allow for proper planning and preparations.
• Despite the priority on SASE1, activities in SASE3 and SASE2 should progress. We still would like to attempt to do first lasing in SASE3 before the November user run!
