      Probably an experiment we did about a year ago at the X-ray laser in California. We were one of the first people ever to use the new most powerful X-ray laser in the world, and had to setup the whole experiment, all the measurement devices and computer controles in just a couple of days;it was pretty complex. A picture of this setup is on my profile page – have a look! To make it a team of 3 of us worked several days/night continuously for over 50 hours! The experiment went really well though, so it was worth it!
