Status of the ring:
The ring has been running stable with about 140 mA of current injected. Yesterday (on machine day) we managed to get 170 mA accelerated, but this is not routine yet. Lifetime is still very good.Possible extensions of this electron run.
It is presently being discussed whether this electron run should be extended by one or two weeks (41, 42) to have more time for running in SGM3.SGM-2 has had a
new mirror mechanism mounted and is apart from small jobs ready for experiments next week.The X-Ray microscope has now the old zone-plates reinstalled, and pictures are being taken.
