Excel spreadsheet for the FEL settings is here.

  • Prepare the hutch for the shift
    • no gate valve in the trajectory!!!
    • check that all devices in the beamline are in OUT position
    • insert yag3
    • make sure all GREEN from 'Machine Protection' list
    • check 'MR1L3' mirror OUT (-6000) position (after XCS)
  • 15 min before the shift begins, call ACR at x2151 to check:
    • photon energy : 17 keV
    • nominal pulse energy : ~300 micro-J
    • nominal pulse duration
    • beam mode : SASE
    • multiplexing : NO
    • e-loss scan needed : done
  •  when you are beam owner (confirm with ACR), you can start the following:
    • insert YAG0 ([1] op.yag0.insert())
    • confirm FEL beam is on scale "0"
    • confirm the shape of the beam is round
    • insert YAG1 ([1] op.yag1.insert())
    • insert MR1L4 : check coating for photon energy
    • confirm on yag0 that the beam is properly deflected on the scale "8 cm"
    • remove YAG0
    • remove all Si attenuators ([1] op.SiT(1))
    • open the pulse picker ([1] op.pulse_picker("open"))
    • fine tune the pitch of MR1L4 to center the beam on YAG1
    • insert YAG3 ([1] op.yag3.insert())
    • remove YAG1
    • fine tune the pitch of MR1L4 to center the beam on YAG3
  • once they are done tunning

  1. .It took ~ 3 hours to tune the 17 keV beam. XRT HOMS mirror for XCS was IN and caused trip due to wrong coating.

    .The laser off -tripped when we enter the searched hutch. We should reset the interlock to search the hutch.

    .Align Ge spectrometer: one crystal for Fe Ka and 2 crystals for Fe Kb, Fe Kb signal needs to be overlapped.

    .XRD calibration for 4 quads is done with CeO2, LaB6, and Fe.
