OLD ISSUES

  • Efficiency improvements are needed
  • Maintenance time is too large
  • Need feedback on program balance.

Rebalance from 40% Capability, 20% Quality, 10% Reproducibility, 10% Stability, 20% Photon?

  • Program goals are out of date
  • TTO
  • Special setups
  • LCLS2 studies

From Run 12 Call for proposals: LCLS is currently developing “two color” opera?ng modes, where pairs of FEL pulses are produced with about 1% photon energy separa?on, in both the hard and soE X-ray regimes. We will accept proposals u/lizing two color opera/on. A polariza?on control undulator is planned to be installed in the LCLS this fall and will provide arbitrarily polarized radia?on with limited intensity in the soE x-ray regime. Please contact the respec?ve instrument e- mail address listed above for updated performance parameters as you prepare your proposal.

  • To some extent SS benefit both the particular

user and aid the development of a new capability

  • What are the options?
  • 1. provide as needed out of MD time
  • 2. use users time
  • 3. something in between
  • 4. don’t provide or provide fewer
