Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 08.05.2023 |
General Announcement:
- As PRC Jan G. reports that:
1. ZZ access to XTD10 was planned and started around 9AM today to work on the exit slit. Plan is to finish by 12:30;
2. Machine worked nicely during the weekend (only 1 downtime due to cryo OK for around 1 hour);
3. on FRI afternoon MID close the pre-absorber and background signal was seen in the AGIPD - it was clarified by PRC and XRO that the pre-shutter does not provide a full stop for beam, just protecting
electronics from intense beam.
CTRL:
- It has split the watchdog devices (imagers) to two servers and performance was seen to be stable.
DA:
- FXE mini-LPD issues during commissioning are being addressed.
EEE:
- Nothing to report.
VAC:
- Nothing to report.
XPD:
- Nothing to report.
DET:
- MID during the weekend reported issues with AGIPD data: two modules were missing. A DOC expert was on shift but further investigation is still needed; MID continued to work without the modules.
ITDM:
- Issue with performance of online data storage at MID: if AGIPD is set in full speed mode during several hours the cache gets full and needs a break.
This happened yesterday and by 6PM MID decided to stop for 3 hs until cache was emptied (reason for such long time was sample related; cache can be emptied faster).
To be in safe side is better to stay with cache filled by 50%. A new system from IBM with double performance is ordered and shall be available during the summer.
XRO:
- ZZ is ongoing for the Exit slit.
LAS:
- Issues with the Sync in SA1 and SA2 which are addressed by Desy group LabSync; On THU and FRI instabilities were observed by LAS.
- Called by FXE during the weekend which will be investigated.
UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.
SPB:
- Night shifts at 12.4keV last week went fine.
FXE:
- Not present.
MID:
- Two MID related issues were already addressed (see above).
HED:
- Nothing to report.
SCS:
- Loss of optical sync: Laurent M. says that 12hs were lost last week. SCS is discussing with CTRL to copy the alarm system from SPB/SFX. Wajid E. adds that the logic has to be checked (properties) and
then implemented.
SQS:
- Beam will start with SQS and not with SXP on Tuesday.
SXP:
- Not taking beam tomorrow as the KB system arrives and needs to be brought to the hutch. |

Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 08.05.2020 |
General Announcement:
- Q&A session with SRP/Tobias Haas:
1. External companies have to provide self-assessment to show they have measures in place that comply with EuXFEL regulations on safety related to Covid-19.
The EuXFEL online training is installed at the gate house and the companies have to make the Covid-19 training. EuXFEL groups have to inform the external companies.
Slides of the training will be provided to the groups for being send to the external companies.
2. One has to observe the maximum occupancy of each room and follow the EuXFEL training. If you stick to the max occupancy, you can work without masks in case minimal
distance is respected - otherwise mask is mandatory. For control hutches we admit only 2 persons.
3. SRP finds a good idea and encourages instruments to implement additional measures for the hutches that e.g. cover use of tools, computers and/or disinfection
procedures.
Nevertheless, such extra local rules must not overrule the EuXFEL rules covered in the training.
Extra regulations shall be printed and make available at doors, for example. Responsible for rooms and and hutches or local staff must make sure these additional
regulations are explained and followed.
4. EuXFEL will not provide PPE to external companies.
5. Tobias will check with MB if EuXFEL has to provide PPE to DESY employees. In principle, EuXFEL applies the same rules as DESY.
6. There is currently no decision on which rules apply to external visitors regarding the summer shutdown. We assume initially they will not be able to come.
SRP encourages groups to send questions to health@xfel.eu and the Covid-19 task force will discuss the matter.
7. There is no decision yet if the FFP-2 masks will be disposed after use or treated for re-use. Initially EuXFEL assume they will be disposed.
It is yet unclear how long time a mask can be used before loosing efficiency. The slides presented at staff meetings contain suggestions in how to use the masks.
- General: There is no current issues to be discussed today regarding the tunnel access and related work;
- General: No issues have been pointed on the control network activities scheduled for next week.
XPD must send to CTRL information on when a test of a shutter valve of gas supply will take place (still to be defined) in order to test the notification service.
- The EPS work in SASE1 was rescheduled to next Friday and has been confirmed with XO and VAC.
