SPB

• Problem with Smaract motors has been identified. Loop 12 updated and working fine.

• SPB working to focus the CRL, it works but beam is not stable.

• Vacuum interlock for Loop 5 (AGIPD) is being implemented. Interlock definitions for AGIPD under discussion with AE, this is still on going.

Tunnels

• Images are displayed later, this issue was discussed off-line with CAS. This issue has been fixed for one camera and it works, now will be deployed for the rest. Will be necessary 15min. of downtime to deploy, CAS to coordinate with Control room.

​AE

• SPB Loop 5 thre are some issues with Julabo Chiller, AE contacted the manufacturer for information, still working on this.

• Still working to fix some minor issues for SPB.

Tunnels

• There is a problem in the HYREX photonic camera, CAS has been investigating but is not a KARABO issue.

General

• Beam was lost due to incident with electron beam hitting & damaging components downstream of the northern dump.
• Goal is to stablish proper conditions for the beam again, last week seemed much better. On Wednesday this week it is expected to have stable beam conditions and sufficient pulse energy for next experiments. 

SASE1 Instruments

• ​SPB : 
  • ​Several persistant problems with Karabo that affect DAQ and Detector. Detector failed on Saturday triggered by the Karabo issues, it took long to recover since a complete power cycle of the Detector was required (30 minutes).
  • CAS is working to fix the problems.

Tunnels

• SASE1:
  • Beam shutter closed during FXE shift, the reasons are not clear. M. Dommach and L. Samoylova to investigate to solve this issue.

Electronics

• MPS Interlock for SPB tested but not switched on. Agreed to switch on this Tuesday.

ITDM

• ITDM report that FXE experienced some problems with the DAQ but they did not inform ITDM . The Experiment team decided to continue and try to figure out by themselves. ITDM and FXE to discuss how to improve the communication for next time.
• Next experiments require Gotthard & LPD in parallel operation ==> to merge Gotthard & LPD to same run control ITDM needs some time to test. Agreed to carry out the tests Tuesday and Wednesday this week, also fine for SPB.

General

• T. Tschentscher inform about Management Board priorities for the October shut down:
  • Management Board Priority 1 after the Oct shutdown will be the characterization for SASE1 performance. Any still necessary development for this (MCP, HIrex operation; two-way functional DOOCS-Karabo interface and data exchange; etc.) should get highest priority during the shutdown period. It would be good to achieve substantial progress with the DOOCS-Karabo interface before the MAC meeting to avoid general bashing of our controls. The instruments will provide a detailed list to permit support groups (ITDM, CAS, AE) to plan resources.
  • Priority 2: SASE3 completion. It is expected that the machine will anyway be able to reach lasing at SASE3, but this has lower priority at present.

SASE1 Instruments

• ​SPB : 
  • No major issues to report
• FXE:
  • In the next days FXE will work in the commissioning of Gothard & LPD in parallel operation to be ready to test with beam on Saturday.

Electronics

• MPS Interlock for SPB already switched on.
• No further issues to report.

ITDM

• Users have no access to on-line DAQ. They can use off-line cluster, the transfer is 5 min. after the end of the run.
• Out of the shift scientist should work with off-line cluster.

Safety

• There is  a new procedure for tunnel access. Accelerator areas will have to be measured by Safety group before tunnel access release.

The SASE1/SASE3 Readiness meeting next Monday is cancelled we will meet again on Wednesday the 3rd of October.

Correction: We will meet again on Wednesday the 4th of October.

General:

Reminder to all the groups to provide the shutdown task list today afternoon to PSPO. Find template attached.

SPB:

• ​In general was a succesful weekend. On Sunday there were some problems with control and DAQ already reported to CAS.

• Laser was running during thre weekend, data will be reviewed today to analyse laser behaviour.

Detectors:

• To investigate a problem with AGIPD, this will require the support from CAS.

Electronics

• Preparing for Oct. shutdown.

ITDM

• DAQ problems on Monday and Tuesday due to detector configuration, still working to find out the causes of the problem.

Dear all,

on Monday, 27th in the morning we will start with preparation work for the mirror installation in XTD9.

The mirror chamber (VS10130) will be vented and opened. This will affect:

V10270G and V10280G: they will be closed and disconnected

P10410I and P10420I: C10902I will be switched to "local" mode and the HV of the pumps will be switched off.

The work will take at least until Friday, March 3rd.

Dear all,

on Monday, 27th in the morning we will start with preparation work for the mirror installation in XTD9.

The mirror chamber (VS10130) will be vented and opened. This will affect:

V10270G and V10280G: they will be closed and disconnected

P10410I and P10420I: C10902I will be switched to "local" mode and the HV of the pumps will be switched off.

The work will take at least until Friday, March 3rd.

Dear all,

the fast valves in XTD9 were causing some trouble. From time to time they collect some electrical noise what triggers the valve. The pressure reading on the valve controller then shows oscillations of up to 10^-5 mbar, while the pressure around the fast valve gauges in the beamline is in the 10^-9 mbar range.
To operate the beamline in the meantime I have opened and disabled both fast valves. 

This needs further investigation on the service day next wednesday.

Best regards,
Martin

Dear all,

the problem with the fast valves XTD9 tripping randomly is still not fully understood but we exchanged the controllers for both valves and they now seem to be stable. The valves are set back to active mode again with 1*10^-6 mbar trigger level while vacuum pressure at the sensors is around 1*10^-8 mbar.

Dear all,

we got the information from MKK, that they have to fix a leak in the main compressed air line. Therefore they will close the valves to the tunnels for approximately one hour starting today at 1 p.m.

Please do not use the compresed air system in the tunnels during that time with air driven tools or air guns, as the volume of the distribution systems acts as a buffer.

Regards,

Martin

Dear all,

the closing of the XTD10 tunnel is shifted to Wednesday (January 31st.) at 2 p.m.

Best regards,

Martin
