10:30pm MCC thought they are close to be done with tuning so we started to move Caladium coarse X in reduced x direction and running the Caladium only readout. Before reaching the beam spot, the secondary scatter was ~50 particles/shot but once beam spot came into the frame, that turned to be more like 2000/crossing. Beam spot was also very wide in X ( more than the 2cm MIMOSA aperture). Asked MCC to reduce rate and spot size. a few tries didn't make much impression until a move to close down SL-10 to -0.5. That brought the rate down to ~100 particles/crossing. Beam spot is filling good fraction of aperture ans looks like a good tuning setup to start with tomorrow. The Caladium XYstage X/Ycoarse RBV=115.4/3.8mm (Y is very close to min limit). Run 336 tuning beam spot picture below.
Done for tonight
