Abstract :
Providing high quality light to users in a consistent and reliable manner is one of the main goals of the accelerator physics group at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). To meet this goal considerable time is spent monitoring the performance of the machine. At the Group´s weekly meeting the performance of the accelerator over the previous week´s run is reviewed. This paper describes the parameters that are monitored to optimize the performance of the ALS
