This newsletter is packed to the brim. This edition is extra special as we have for the first time a section for LCLS IT recording some of the improvements and maintenance activities of Omar's team.!

As another form of feedback, the AMI plugin adds an option in the AMI window called "JungfrauTrip" that allows the user to watch the number of pixels above the threshold over time. Below, we can see a constant 20 pixels above the threshold, using the current settings without beam, due to the misbehaving already-burnt pixels. If you have any questions about the tripper, please feel free to reach out to me!

CSU Chico Engineering Capstone Collaboration

...

This year Diling Zhu has sponsored the collaboration project (many thanks Diling!), which is to develop a prototype system for determining interaction point alignment using machine vision. In early March, the CSU Chico Engineering Capstone Collaboration project team visited XPP to do some final fit measurements around the interaction point for installation of their project later this year.

The team won Best Project this year at the CSUC design expo (May 13th), competing with ~20 other project teams from the program. The team will also present their project this summer in Dallas TX at a national competition for engineering capstone projects.

For the past five years LCLS departments (SED and ME) have sponsored projects with the Mechanical/Mechatronic Engineering departments of CSU Chico for their engineering degree capstone. Each year the collaboration project offers a chance for  LCLS to develop prototype concepts, or even to offload a manageable portion of work to a team of 4-5 students and a faculty advisor (for a nominal fee + M&S). More importantly these projects offer us a chance to discover talented candidates that we can hire. If you have an idea for a project, please contact Alex Wallace for details. On a final note, this year we are excited to announce that we hired another student from the collaboration project, Mitchell Cabral. He will join ECS as a control system integrator in June.
