abstract = {In January 2021 two X-band (12 GHz) PolariX Transverse
Deflecting Structures with variable streak polarization were
installed into the FLASH2 beamline at FLASH. Since none of
the RF components for the FLASH2-PolariX RF-distribution
system nor the two PolariX structures could be
pre-conditioned, RF-conditioning was and is quite tedious.
Nevertheless, after 6 weeks of conditioning, we have already
been able to streak the electron beam enough to start
commissioning of the PolariX controls and the software.
After 4 months of conditioning in parallel to FLASH2 user
operation, we achieved a stable 5.5 MW flat top of 400 ns
operation. Next step will be to include RF pulse compression
to achieve the design power of 22 MW. Since then operational
experience with the PolariX system has continuously evolved
and it has quickly become a valuable if not indispensable
tool for tuning FLASH2. Even with the reduced power, a
measurement resolution of 12 fs could be reached. In this
article we describe key aspects of the conditioning and
commissioning process as well as the first experiences and
first results of beam measurements both for SASE tuning and
for dedicated micro-bunching studies.},
