• Switching between SSP and IDS is going well
• SSP: The 75Ga (decaying to 75Ge) beam  is used to study quantum colour centers in diamond. They are very happy with the data obtained so far. The yield of Ga without lasers is sufficient to continue the run until Thursday.
• IDS: The 9Li run (IS659) is not going completely as hoped. Due to some issues with signal amplitudes and cross talk, the data of the charge particle detection is of lower quality than it should be, but the neutron data is ok. They made measurements with 8Li that should make up for some of the loss of quality, but it remains to be seen to which degree that will work.
