the FP-cavity to be sure there is no issue
due to the Linac section changing operation
  
  333   Tue Mar 26 10:20:54 2024 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooFP-cavity lock survey during the Linac section changing operationThis morning, I locked again the FP-cavity
at more than 50kW with 33% of laser amplifier
ratio.
