Up to 27000 electron bunches per second are accelerated in a 1.3 km long superconducting radio frequency (SRF) linac to a maximum energy of 17.6 GeV. Within this time, operational experience with a pulsed RF machine has been gained and new operation modes simultaneously delivering electron bunches to 3 different SASE undulator beamlines have been successfully implemented. Recent activities on increasing the linac availability, power efficiency and duty cycle are discussed.}}, }
