Summary • Accelerator commissioned mostly to design goals • Laser heater commissioned and working well (does not salvage OTR screen quantitative use – many MPS problems) • Beam-based alignment converged to required level (should improve after undulators installed due to µ-shielding of Earth’s field) • New LTU wire scanners working routinely • Cavity BPMs commissioned and working fantastically • One undulator field integrals confirmed with beam • 21 undulators installed • Full motion control on all girders (+ 21 undulators) working well • All beam finder wires (BFW) checked out and aligned with beam • BFW’s also used successfully to measure emittance • Full 6x6 feedback running (some over-sensitivity to machine setup still) • Soon hopefully to observe first FEL light
To Do • Tune up and run extended time (2 wks) at 4.3 GeV in preparation for AMO run • Streamline energy change for users and for rapid beam-based alignment • Install, set up, and verify new MPS system (controls) • Commission remaining undulators • Measure FEL gain • Commission FEE • Optimize FEL
