KLS beam time and birthday cake

Last beam time we had some issues with the grating. We couldn't move it anymore, because an aperture blocked it. Thus we had to open the chamber and remove it. Besides some more issues, we made at least some progress and collected some data to optimize the setup.

On Wednesday Stephanie and Daniel prepared a cake for my birthday. After eating the cake with some friends, we went to some bars in Aggieville.

Our next beam time starts on Monday. One week later we are probably getting “HITS” beam time to use much higher intensities. KLS was not powerful enough to investigate the molecular processes our supervisor wants to see.
