 Title: First X rays and FP-cavity mode and electron beam waists size @ IP 

on friday 23/06 afternoon, after scanning the hexapod z-axis, we observed a cut of the power stored in the FP-cavity (with constant input power/coupling) at both ends of the scan, due to the losses of the beam-pipe aperture.
we placed the hexapod exactly in the middle of this range ~ z=-1.68 mm (which is not the middle of the maximum range of the hexapod), we opened the slits on the X-table and we found the first signal.

after scanning, shuting the laser beam and electron beam ON and OFF, we confirmed this signal was coming from X-rays.

on monday 27/06, roughly in the same condition (25kW of power stored in FP-cavity), we scanned properly the same z-axis with the hexapod and we measured the pico-ampermeter current related to the produced X-rays to get the approximated size of the laser and electron beams at the IP position : see the raw data.

Daniele did the data analysis : see the attached analyse_profil_vert_X-1.pptx file
the total rms size (sigma of the Gaussian profile) is 100µm.

this morning, we measured the FP-cavity waist size by measuring the waist size of beam at the focal distance of a lens used after the spherical mirrors.
we measured the rms size of the FP-cavity mode to be 60µm in agreement with simulations, which leads to 80µm rms for the electron beam waist size.
