Arvid Gebhardt | General | Information | Notes 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.
UNSYS:
- not present.
SPB:
- nothing to report: quiet days.
FXE:
- Craning activities over the hutches due to SXP construction still ongoing: not always a notice from construction workers.

- 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.

General Announcement:
- The test of the emergency automatic switch of power bridge is scheduled for Tuesday, 2nd of February 2021, 09:00. This will affect orange outlets in XHQ and green and orange outlets in XHEXP1. A short interruption in the power supply lines will happen. We expect all groups have taken appropriate measures to place devices in safe mode or connected to white power outlets.
CTRL:
- not much to report, things are running
- Read the docs is operational again. A given feedback to CTRL is welcome.
DA:
- Nothing special to report.
EEE:
- Tomorrow update sase1 motion loop at 13:00: an email will be sent to readiness mailing list.
VAC:
- Nothing to report.
XPD:
- Maintenance work ongoing: Imagers in XTD6; Work with EEE in XTD6 and XTD9.
DET:
- AGIPD: new control with new gain is tested. DAQ issue with data is fixed (K. Wrona informs it was related to a wrong hidden parameter setting).
ITDM:
- Downtime on Offline calibration system / GPFS: update to be made in about two weeks from now. K. Wrona says that ITDM would like to have one day of GPFS maintenance; it is important to switch to the new scratch files before we start operation. Data taking shall not be affected by this.
- Jan G. asks when would be required by the earliest. K. Wrona says they need to copy a lot of data before the update and it is estimated in two weeks (+-2 days), to take place in the second half of February. As photon activities take place in the last two weeks of February, one needs coordination to find a suitable date.
XRO:
- everything fine.
- Today closing of soft mono chamber in XTD10.
LAS:
- Upgrade in SA1 uTCA: information will be given to LAS this afternoon.
- Two Desy colleagues needs access in SA1 hutches. Use of FFP2 masks is mandatory.
UNSYS:
- ZZ in XTD4 is planned for Wednesday (for cleaning undulator area).
- Suren K. asks if the balcony rooms are effected by test emergency power switch. This will be discussed offline.
