  188   06 Jan 2021, 09:05 Arvid GebhardtGeneralInformationNotes XO Integration Meeting 06.01.2021

General Announcement:

  • Due to work restrictions, some of shutdown activities will not end as planned in time. This leads to a prolongation of the start-up phase starting next week. It means re-start of Accelerator and South branch will be delayed by 2-4 days while the North branch by about 1 week.
  • The first 2 weeks of X-Ray delivery (2.2-15.2) will most likely be affected and photon delivery cannot be guaranteed into all beam-lines at all days. Some flexibility in planning for the commissioning tasks is expected. A detailed schedule for an upcoming week will be available on the week before, latest on Friday.
  • Sara C. asks if tunnel access is allowed during this week. F. Wolff-Fabris understands tunnels still can be accessed this week apart of Covid regulations (in the context of tunnel maintenance tasks that have to be performed while tunnels are open). T. Tschentscher says the understanding is from Robert F. guidelines e-mail are still valid for this week and really important tasks may be conducted – an e-mail to Robert and Nicole pointing the task with the need of access could be sent. Steve A. reported from today’s Covid taskforce meeting that the regulations of last corona email are still valid - if there are any question send an email to health@xfel.eu.

  187   16 Dec 2020, 09:11 Arvid GebhardtGeneralInformationNotes XO Integration Meeting 16.12.2020

General Announcement:

- Today is the last xo-integration meeting for this year. Xo wants to thank everyone for the participating in this meeting series while sharing information and giving updates.

- The next XO Int. Meeting will happen on 04 January.

CTRL:

- Beckhoff MC2 motor upgrades at SA3 is ongoing.

DA:

- no updates

EEE:

- all SA2 fast ADC tasks have been concluded.

- Cabling in HED is ongoing; On MID will happen next year.

- AIBS control at SA1 balcony room installation starts today.

- Testing Mc2 motor configurations in tunnel devices.

VAC:

- Trying to finish main shutdown tasks: GATT, new mirror chamber in SA3/SXP, SA2 M3 mirror chamber.

- M3 chamber InGa is clean and ready to be pumped down.

- XGM/SA1: broken gate will be replaced this week or next.

- Some members of VAC group are working on site next week.

XPD:

- XGM SA2/XTD6 was moved 4mm and is still in alignment (no damage found) -> Jan G and Harald S. will have a look today onsite. M. Dommach says the differential pump could not move that far away due to bellows. 

- Installing of switches for HRIX will be most likely finished this month and some maybe in January.

DET:

- nothing to report.

ITDM:

- nothing today.

XRO:

- Not present.

LAS:

- Laser Hutches are locked (no access allowed) by Safety and LAS members can not continue the work in laser rooms. LAS maintenance tasks can not be finished and may be delayed over the end of shutdown.

- Emission of SASE2 Seeder laser was put in OFF yesterday due to inspection by SLSO. This means laser was OFF and there is no guarantee the PP-laser will be available in February, as they will not start mode-locking again after an Emission OFF. 

- Typically the Seeder lifetime is 3-4 years. Each time it is switched OFF it shortens the lifetime by half. If Seeder is included in the Interlock system, and taking into account the interlock trips 1 time per week or month (case of SASE3), the availability of PP-lasers is in risk and consequently the whole operation for instruments.

- Alignment lasers will be no longer provided. This also relates to the safety decision - such lasers are not allowed to be operated.

  177   11 Nov 2020, 10:49 Frederik Wolff-FabrisGeneralInformationNotes XO Integration Meeting 11.11.2020
General Announcement:
- XO is in contact with some groups regarding the winter shutdown, in order to get additional information or solve potential conflicts. 
If there are any question, please contact us in this meeting or via e-mail.
- Steffen adds on the idea of using FXE for initial deployment of updated Karabo version. It will take place after 23/Nov.
- Jan asks how XO needs to be informed for tasks that groups deal with each other. A. Galler says XPD is on the list for setting a date to discuss this. 
Groups are encouraged to communicate with other support groups beforehand.

CTRL:
- Misbehaving timing server at MID yesterday was initially solved by EEE. EEE replaced the hardware of the timing system itself but problem continued. 
System seems now to be healthy but from time to time there are small timing interruptions. Investigation is ongoing and will be discussed in the digitizer meeting of Data 
department.
- One CTRL ticket on Doocs device at SCS: it was a problem with custom installation. CTRL asks to be informed in case groups have custom installations. This may pose a 
risk when deploying new updates.

DA:
- AGIPD train-ID issue: a small workaround until shutdown is in place. One has to set the individual channel and seems to be now working. Next intervention to take place 
during Winter maintenance time.

EEE:
- Nothing else to report aside of the MID timing system.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- SA3 XGM was switched to Ne as requested by instruments.

DET:
- Preparation for activities on AGIPD at SPB/SFX during the winter time is ongoing.

ITDM: 
- Pre-announcement: at the start of the maintenance, ITDM has activity on the computer cluster. A separate announcement will be sent.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.

SPB:
- No issues to report.
- Intervention date of AGIPD: SPB requires due to highest priority work that between 16/11-18/12 no interruptions of electrical power or the need of EQP may happen. 

FXE:
- Crosstalk SA1/SA3 was not seen yesterday as SQS used only 1 bunch.

MID:
- Nothing to add besides what CTRL and EEE have mentioned.

HED:
- Next week HED does not use X-ray beam: commissioning of the high power laser and test of pulse on demand are planned. A. Galler says it pulse on demand was fixed by 
CTRLs and can be used. 
- Question on use of ADCs: Bruno says some trains will not be recorder or be repeated. This may be related to the timing issue like in MID. 
But data can be acquired. It is under investigation accordingly to Bruno, with CTRL, DA, ITDM.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:
- Nothing to report.

- Finished user experiment: went OK but machine not very stable. Intensity and pointing very unstable. After beam losses timing came quite different. 
Data for pointing quantification to be analyzed.

FXE:
- Unstable beam the whole week. 
- Crosstalk between SA3 and SA1: sometimes BKR could fix/work on it, sometimes not. This happens when FXE runs at 150 bunches and SA3 varying 1-100. 
SA1 intensity goes down by factor 2.

MID:
- DET and ITDM contacted during the weekend.

HED:
- Not present.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:

  175   04 Nov 2020, 10:55 Frederik Wolff-FabrisGeneralInformationNotes XO Integration Meeting 04.11.2020
General Announcement:
- XO reminds on the 4.5MHz operation: MXL tested a 12hs switching mode and this will be used along the week. 
The night shift operates at 4.5 MHz and day shift at 2.25MHz to avoid sending unnecessary bunches to the dumps.

CTRL:
- Issues with MC2 motors (bug in moving, mainly in SA3). CTRL has a fix but it is hard to find a proper time slot this week to apply it. The idea is to deploy next Monday 
only in SA3 first. 
If issues are found beforehand, please contact CTRL.
- SQS mentions a bug in the mirror observed yesterday which relates to the above described issue. SQS has to observe it to verify it moves all the way and then one can 
wait until Monday for the fix.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Crate issue in SA2: it was not needed to exchange the crate. A reboot on Monday afternoon helped to bring system back. 
Crate works as normal. During winter shutdown EEE will replace crate and power modules.
- MID and LAS reported issues with train-ID / timing servers. Triggers have not been delivered in 10Hz. This is in discussion with DESY. 
One solution is an update of the DOOCS timing serves that do not show errors which does not interrupt timing servers. In MID this may be related to data recording. 
For the PP Laser further discuss with Desy colleagues will be made. This affects only MID because the use of old version of Doocs server. 
- MCP problems reported by XPD: mismatch on the firmware version and EEE plans to upgrade this week. 
- Preparation for the winter maintenance is ongoing and installations can start on 23/11.

VAC:
- VAC would like to thank EEE and CTRL for the SA3 loop vacuum fix.

XPD:
- XPD found another issue with MCP: wrong assigned triggers. A ticket will be created. 

DET:
- Update of MID AGIPD is still an issue but this is not critical at the moment.
- CTRL has accessed the LPD detector issue.

ITDM: 
- K. Wrona informs ITDM has the reservation of Maxwell for data analysis during next two weeks. 
The user groups have to be informed that one has to use Maxwell reservation to quick analyze data.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- SA1 SPB PP-laser had to increase energy and is on work.
- SA2 PP-laser missing trigger from around 7PM yesterday. Laser went OFF due to this and luckily LAS was watching it and was able to switch ON quickly. LAS is in touch 
with EEE and Desy. 
A fallback solution could be to generate triggers by hardware but there is no progress from Desy side. LAS will prepare specifications for this module.

UNSYS:
- Small hiccup in one SA2 undulator that was remotely corrected.

SPB:
- Trying to align beam: SPB sees elliptical rings. Andreas G. suggests if this continues please communicate to the PRC.

FXE:
- No further information on issues with the LPD.

MID:
- Tomorrow it takes place the AGIPD train-ID meeting.

HED:
- Vacuum valves in differential pumping system were strangely closed on Friday 2AM. HED discovered this only yesterday. Pressure slowly went up. HED will further 
investigate.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:
- 4.5MHz operation had gun trips due to the overheating of the dump. 
F. Wolff-Fabris comments that was due to the radiation alarms on the dumps that removed beam permission by about one hour around 4AM.
