General Announcement:
- If instruments find the machine is not performing as you expect when comparing to previous weeks, please contact PRC that he may help you to address it.
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.
DA:
- Nothing to report.
EEE:
- Fast ADC in HED: this is solved. The only limitation is if the system is restarted the ADC is misconfigured. In this case please inform EEE for loading the
configurations.
- SCS switch issue is also fixed.
VAC:
- Working on the M3/SA2 mirror. Mechanical problems were fixed by XRO. Leak test ongoing and closure of the tunnel afterwards. Beam can be back to XTD6 this afternoon.
XPD:
- Nothing to report.
DET:
- Nothing to report.
ITDM:
- No big announcements at this moment.
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.
LAS:
- Upgrades are ongoing in all lasers: a bit behind schedule.
- SA1: ADC has to be serviced by EEE; SA2: delays due to microTCA.
- SA1 and SA3 shall be available tomorrow afternoon.

FXE:
- Nothing to report.
MID:
- Setting up for user experiments.
HED:

If this happens in the middle of the night, SCS proposes to develop an automated way to reset it or to be trained by XPD experts. XO, SCS and XPD will follow up.
- Extra-foam: SCS asks on the possibility for access to remote users. DA says is under discussion between DA and ITDM to extend the service but no decision has been made.
It will anyway need access to online clusters.

- 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 01.08.2022 |
General Announcement:
- Today the SEPS interlock tests take place at all SASEs. This happens usually after maintenance periods and shall use the full day.
- For cw32: above 6.5keV only intensities of 500uJ shall be expected. An e-mail will be distributed by XO.
CTRL:
- SASE2 and SASE3 vacuum loops were not responding; both VAC loops were restarted.
DA:
- Nothing to report.
EEE:
- PLC team is doing a ZZ in XTD6 and handover to the instruments.
- This morning timing servers to be restarted (5 sec intervention) - no control on triggers during this time; the signals for triggering continue to be generated.
VAC:
- Issues with SA2 and SA3 loops already reported.
XPD:
- All fine with XPD.
- Gas changes for XGM are organized with Theo.
DET:
- Nothing major to report.
ITDM:
- Nothing new to report.
- GPFS problem reported last week: meeting with Desy experts is to take place.
XRO:
- XRO worked with SA3 on Saturday: M6 new mirror commissioned (found new position for this mirror); optical path for SCS and SQS is established.
- Vertical slit checked and not damaged; Device is working; Interlock was tested and an e-mail will be sent.
- Prepared for SEPS interlock tests of today (many modifications).
- Still to be done: beam illuminating SXP tunnel (maybe POP-IN imager is not working, but not sure); Still to check the soft-mono and the beam path.
- Question from Michael Meyer referring to hutch access today: as Interlock tests take place at 16:00, hutch access when closing the shutter has to be discussed with Safety / RPOs.
- SA1 and SA2 beam recommissioning are done; except of the SEPS interlock tests.
LAS:
- SA2 PP-laser shall be ready to go;
- SA1 and SA3 PP-laser will be available at latest Tuesday next week. The 282kHz mode is now available for SA1.
UNSYS:
- Air coils in SA3 cell 14 and cell20 had a problem and now it shall be solved after communicated between M. Yakopov and BKR.
SPB:
- Laser interlock issue was observed and solved.
FXE:
- Worked with D3 last week to recalibrate spare BTMs. Currently D3 had no spare parts and if the SA3 BTM would be triggered again it could stop North branch operation until a spare part would be available.
- There is an object in the beam path that can be seen: likely a cable belonging to the mono.
MID:
- All fine at MID.
HED:
- Nothing to add. HED is part of the ZZ in XTD6 together with EEE.
