WECA05	Superconducting RF System Plans at CLS	293
	C.N. Regier CLS, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
	Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Saskatoon, Canada has several cryogenic systems. One of the most critical is a 4.4 K liquid helium system for a superconducting RF cavity. This system consists of a Linde TCF-50 liquid helium plant coupled to a Cornell-designed CESR-B 500 MHz cavity and cryomodule via a 52 metre multi-channel transfer line. Over the years CLS has evaluated failures on the system as well as risks for downtime, and has come up with plans for a major upgrade to the superconducting RF system to improve reliability. An overview of performance and issues to date is presented. Some of the specifics of the risk analysis and upgrade plan will be examined, and details of the process flow discussed.

THAA02	Mechanical Engineering of a Cryo STXM at CLS	381
	C.N. Regier, A.F.G. Leontowich, D.M. Taylor CLS, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
	A Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) is a useful imaging tool, but its application to certain types of samples is limited by significant rates of x-ray damage to the sample. Cooling samples to liquid nitrogen temperatures can delay radiation damage, but must be done in a vacuum environment to prevent rapid formation of ice on the sample. The Canadian Light Source (CLS) has constructed a Cryo-STXM, which can maintain sample temperatures at 100 K in an ultra-high vacuum environment and rotate the samples in the beam to collect tomographic data sets. This presentation will discuss the mechanical engineering aspects of the development of this Cryo-STXM including the finite element analysis (FEA) for stresses and vibrations, and present the performance parameters being achieved by the instrument.
