Description
PLEASE NOTE THE UNUSUAL DAY AND TIME OF THIS TALK. IT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE MERRISON LECTURE THEATRE AT DARESBURY LABORATORY AND ALSO BE BROADCAST VIA ZOOM.
In this talk, I will present the initial LCLS-II commissioning results and some lessons learned along the way. The injector and all 35 cryomodules have been operating stably for over a year up to 3.5 GeV. Starting this month (October 2024), further multipacting processing is taking place to increase the beam energy to 4 GeV. Beam performance metrics are actively being improved with further diagnostics and hardware installations, checkouts, and repairs. Initial delivery to early and in house users has taken place and is a priority for the next year as we ramp up performance.
