Description
Despite Corona, 2020 was a very successful year for the operation of EuXFEL. Thank you very much for your contribution!
I would like to invite you to a last operator training for this year on Tuesday 15. December at 9:30 am.
Of course this has to be an online meeting via Zoom.
You can participate by clicking on the following link:
It will not be a training in the usual sense, but I wanted to discuss the last year of operation with you, give you an outlook on the coming year and share your tips and suggestions for operation in common.
Meeting topics:
Successful operation in 2020!
- In spite of corona, 2020 was a successful year with very good operation performance! Thanks for your commitment!
- D3 has noted with approval that there was less activation of beamline components than expected!
Restart in January 2021
- logbook link to the schedule.
- It might be that the corona shut down over Christmas and new year eventually delays the restart in 2021. But there are no shifts canceled up to now.
- Shutdown work at XFEL will continue until December 22, 2020 as scheduled.
New stuff at/after restart?
- There will be new fast kickers for orbit correction within a bunch train to correct the trajectory change due to eddy currents caused by the dump kickers. -> more stable SASE over pulse trains.
- HXSS (Hard X-ray Self Seeding) will be used during next user run. There will be help by the system experts at the beginning.
- The experiment hutches will not change every 12 hours but every week. This will give us more stable operation conditions and it will most likely lead to a more efficient use of the beam times.
