able to easily lock the cavity with 92kW
with 33% amp ratio without too much optimizations

to store more than 97kW in the FP cavity,
always with the same parameter : 33% laser

  417   Tue Mar 18 11:25:07 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionthis morning, the cavity was pretty misaligned
=> basic alignment in y direction helps
a lot => 93kW for 33% amp ratio.

long Xray production trend around 15-20 minutes
with a flux above 25k on i1.
