  • Diffraction took first 4 days to set up
  • Was only given 12 hours to run PAIRLS (Piezo Actuated Intermediate Rate Loading System) experiments
  • DCS hutch B has no galvonometer so 2 scintillators broke, replaced, and refocused
  • 4-5 tests out of 20 were successful for PAIRLS
  • Tests on sandstone were unsuccessful
