  The European XFEL is in the operational stage since fall 2017. Since then, tuning of the FEL performance (e.g. of the photon pulse energy) has become increasingly important. Due to a large number of parameters to which FEL facilities are highly sensitive and their complex correlations, controlling and optimizing them in a speedy manner is becoming a very important and challenging task. Several automated optimization procedures were developed to optimize the FEL beam quality. In this work, we present the status and the results of these activities, as well as the optimization statistics.

  Beam halo collimation is of great importance for the high repetition rate operation at the European XFEL and for the future CW machines. At the European XFEL several different types of collimators are installed at different locations of the beam line, which include the gun collimators, the bunch compressor collimators, and the main and supplementary collimators in the collimation section. Beam halo measurements have been performed using the wire scanners downstream of the main linac, which show that large part of beam halo is collimated by the gun collimator. Remaining losses in the collimation section are mainly due to misalignment. Alignment using orbit bumps in the collimation section is performed and presented in this paper.

  The European XFEL is a Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser based on superconducting accelerator technology. In operation since 2017, it now serves 3 FEL beamlines simultaneously for user experiments. We will report on the present operation of the linear accelerator, the beam distribution to the various beamlines and the performance of the FEL radiators.
