General Announcement:
- A. Galler reminds the attendance that this meeting is also an opportunity for making comments/questions on the new Covid-19 rules that start to take place.

DA:
- No issues or news.
EEE:
- uTCA crate of SA2 balcony room is not reachable. A quick fix on Friday was not successful and EEE needs to power cycle or replace the whole crate.
This will interrupt timing for PP-laser and the signals sent to MPS. Meeting between EEE, lasers, instruments and XO will take place.
- (Note after meeting: the power cycle of the actual crate will be done today after lunch. If this does not helps then immediately exchange of crate will be done
afterwards.
PP-laser will be brought to a safe state and takes about 4-5 hours to restart it).
VAC:

This is also valid for changes of beam parameters if not previously reported in the operation tables.
CTRL:
- CTRL is supporting the ongoing Laser installations.

XRO:
- M3 mirror: mechanical axis was disconnected and mirror was not moving. XRO and VAC fixed the problem. Hopefully beam can be injected to XTD6 this afternoon.
- It was chosen not open the full chamber to make the repair in 2 days' time. As beam is there XRO will re-align mirror. Cooling system is disconnected.
- After closing tunnels, it will allow beam in MID certainly and to HED we will look after the re-alignment of the mirror (to be scheduled). Maurizio V. is open to
clarifications/discussions.
- Ulf asks on the plans for re-alignment of the beam: Maurizio says either after the Self-seeding on Friday or on Monday.

Phase shifter tables will be extended to a larger gap. Better to use 3keV at higher electron energies.
- For the UOM's mention on the update of phase shifters on the chicanes, this has to be prioritized. XO will discuss with Sara C.
SPB:
- Minor issues with SPB imager being saturated. A. Koch adds that it will be followed up and he is aware and will analyze better.

Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 02.03.2022 |
General Announcement:
- There is a high probability that we will run out of Helium gas due to difficulties with stock. If an instrument needs He on next weeks please get in touch with TS to verify its availability.
CTRL:
- Last Monday intervention on the SA3 GATT middle layer servers was successful.
DA:
- Today a major upgrade of offline calibration is scheduled during which services won't be available.
EEE:
- Supporting different tasks at SQS (recommissioning motors), HED (motor encoders), SCS and FXE.
VAC:
- Ion pump in XTD9 shows a potential risk of tripping interlock: a ZZ on Friday 14:00 will take place to change parameters.
- Another ZZ in XTD2 to attempt to fix the solid attenuator in SA1 (hole in the arms reported by SPB / 0.5mm Si damaged); try to change the blocking mechanism.
- Dmitry K. asks on the Si intervention in XTD2: Martin D. says a change of Si is a major intervention as it involves need of clean tent etc… and will not be done this Friday.
The idea is to use a fresh spot on the attenuator. Conditions for interlocks have to be later checked with Liuba S.
XPD:
- ZZ on Monday to remove Shimadzu camera was successful.
DET:
- Nothing to report.
ITDM:
- Problem with Influx cluster which did not accepted data for 3 hours: search for fixes last days and today a new configuration will be applied, followed by restart afterwards (minutes downtime). No effect
in tunnels DAQ.
XRO:
- Commissioning beamtime for SA2 mirrors: available beamtime was short. The coating stripes were found in beamlines in respect to motor positions. More beamtime is needed to continue commissioning of M1,
M2 and M3 in XTD6.
LAS:
- Nothing to report.
UNSYS:
- Apple-X commissioning ongoing: working on Control systems commissioning. Last cell was controlled; more tests ongoing today. The phase shifter tables are not yet ready.
SPB:
- Working with different groups during the week.
FXE:
- D3 was present on Monday to test the BTM; it was successful.
MID:
- Radiation alarm triggered due to a false alarm at MID hutch. Thomas P. from HED helped by calling RPOs; W. Clement, Eric B. and M. Prollius helped to solve it.
HED:
- Preparing for the high intensity laser and also working on motors.
SCS:
- Not present.
SQS:
- Not present. |
