  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) had delivered the first synchrotron light on the last day of 2014 and is to open to the users from September 2016 after one and half years of commissioning and insertion devices installation. However, the instability is still an obvious problem to the beam quality and the deviation amplification factor of the magnets to the electron beam plays an important contribution role. Since the magnets are firmly installed on the girders and the contribution is mainly transferred from the girder vibration. This study tries to eliminate the obvious vibration frequencies amplitude exerted on the girder from outside sources such as the utility system with the PZT actuators installed on the locking wedges between girder and pedestals. By the amplitude and inverse phase searching iteration, some vibration frequency peaks in phase domain can be eliminated and the instability is also reduced.

  Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a study of an electron-positron collider with nominal energy of 3 TeV and luminosity of 2·1034 cm-2·s-1. The luminosity goal leads to stringent alignment requirements for single quadrupole magnets. Vertical and lateral offset deviations with regards to a given orbit reference in both ends of a quadrupole shall be below 1 µm and quadrupole roll deviation shall be below 100 µrad. Translation in the direction of particle beam is not controlled but mechanically locked. A parallel kinematic platform based on cam movers was chosen as system for detailed studies. Earlier studies have shown that cam movers can reach the CLIC requirements through an iterative process. The paper presents new modular off-the-shelf control electronics and software including three optional positioning algorithms based on iterations as well as a more advanced algorithm which can reach target position in one movement. The advanced algorithm reads wire position sensors (WPS), calculates quadrupole orientation based on the readings and updates the remaining trajectory during motion. All of the optional positioning methods reach the CLIC positioning requirements within minutes.

The monochromator is known to be one of the most critical optical elements of a synchrotron beamline. The new 4th generation machines, with emittances in the range of order of 100 pm rad, require even higher stability performances, in spite of the still conflicting factors such as high power loads, power load variation, and vibration sources. A new high-dynamics DCM is under development at LNLS for the future X-ray undulator and superbend beamlines of Sirius. Aiming at inter-crystal stability of a few tens of nrad and considering the limitations of the current DCM implementations, several aspects of DCM engineering are being revisited. The system concept is chosen such that a control bandwidth in the order of 200 to 300 Hz can be achieved. This requires well-designed system dynamics, which can be realized by applying a fundamentally different architecture than that used in common DCM designs, based on principles used in ultra-precision systems for semiconductor manufacturing. As a result, known disturbances can be attenuated or suppressed, and internally excited modes can be effectively handled. The mechatronics concepts and analyses, including the metrological details, are shown.

  A new split-and-delay line (SDL) is under development for the Materials Imaging and Dynamics (MID) end station at the European XFEL.* The device utilises Bragg reflection to provide pairs of X-ray pulses with an energy of (5 - 10) keV and a continuously tunable time delay of (-10 - 800) ps - thus allowing zero-crossing of the time delay. The mechanical concept features separate positioning stages for each optical element. Those are based on a serial combination of coarse motion axes and a fine alignment 6 DoF Cartesian parallel kinematics**. That allows to meet the contradictory demands of a fast long-range travel of up to 1000 mm and in the same time a precise alignment with a resolution in the nanometer range. Multiple laser interferometers monitor the position of the optical elements and allow an active control of their alignment. All optical elements and mechanics will be installed inside an UHV chamber, including the interferometer and about 100 stepper motors. With this paper we present the mechanical design for the SDL. It will additionally show the design of a prototype of a positioning stage which allows extensive testing of the implemented concepts and techniques.

  Diamond blade type X-ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPM) were adopted to monitor photon position at the beamline front-end in Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). Due to the thin thickness (125um) and fragile characteristic, the assembling precision of the diamond blades are hard to measure and influence the accuracy of monitor. A non-contact method was thus developed by using a led laser with telecentric objective lens and a CCD-array to calibrate the diamond blades assembling configuration within micrometer accuracy. According to the measurement results, XBPM can be correlated to four fiducial points for survey network. This paper describes this method and calibrating results in detail.

  The focusing of X-ray nanoprobe at TPS relay upon the special designed Montel mirrors and its adjustment holder. The holder includes two major parts: (1) fundamental-position alignment part and (2) relative-position adjustment part. The fundamental-position alignment part has the ability to adjust the two mirrors together in 6 DOF., such as X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. These translation stages have several-tens mm travel range and nm resolution, while the rotational stages have 40 mrad azimuthal angular range and 0.1~0.01 µrad resolution. The relative-position adjustment part can further adjust the two mirrors to minimize the focal spot. During the pre-alignment process, one of the mirrors can be manual adjusted by micrometer heads in three translation directions with several mm travel range and micro-meters resolution. These micrometer heads also provide this mirror three rotational degree of freedoms with sub-mrad resolution. For the further alignment in vacuum, the additional four piezo-motor actuators can precisely adjust the other Montel mirror in the Y and Z direction with several nm resolution, and its pitch and roll with 1 urad and 0.05 urad resolution, respectively.

The most technically challenging module of the planned APS Upgrade (APS-U) project is the Focusing-Defocusing (FODO) module. The girder for the FODO must support a ~6m long string of three Q-bend and four quadrupole mag-nets. The challenges which emanate from retrofitting the existing APS tunnel with new hardware along with the stringent requirements for alignment and vibrational stability * necessitate a unique engineering solution for the magnet support system. FEA is heavily relied upon in order to create an optimized solution and reduce the number of design iterations required to meet specifications. The prototype FODO magnet support design is presented from the ground up, along with FEA justification and the expected vibrational performance of the module.

As part of the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade pro-ject (APS-U), the storage ring will be upgraded to a multibend achromat (MBA) lattice [1]. This upgrade will provide dramatically enhanced hard x-ray brightness and coherent flux to beamline experiments in comparison to the present machine. The accelerator physics require-ments for the upgrade impose very stringent alignment, assembly and installation tolerances and tight vibrational tolerances on the magnet support and alignment system designs. The short installation duration dictates a need for transporting groups of fully assembled magnet mod-ules into the storage ring enclosure while preserving magnet-to-magnet alignment. The current magnet sup-port and alignment systems preliminary design status for the APS-U storage ring will be presented along with an overview of the R&D program required to validate design performance. Magnet module transportation and installa-tion logistics will also be discussed.

MOPE37 Diamond Multi-Bend Achromats for Low Emittance and New Insertion Devices ion, vacuum, emittance, storage-ring 90
 
  • J. Kay, N.P. Hammond
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  Diamond Light Source is pioneering the move to a Multi Bend Achromat storage ring lattice for low emittance combined with the creation of new straight sections available for Insertion Devices (ID). Diamond is at an advanced stage of replacing one Double Bend Achromat (DBA) cell of the existing storage ring with a Double Double Bend Achromat (DDBA). The DDBA cell which is to be installed in Autumn 2016 has 4 dipoles and has been designed with a new straight section in the middle. This allows a new ID source point to be installed on an existing Bending Magnet port in the shield wall for a new micro-focus protein crystallography beamline called VMX-m. This same principle will be applied to the proposed Diamond II project which will be based on a Double Triple Bend Achromat with 6 dipoles per cell achieving even lower emittance whilst providing many more IDs. This paper describes the engineering challenges of these projects.

  The research team at the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation, Clayton CSIRO) have developed a high energy detector referred to as the Maia. The rapid scanning, high resolution detector offers technological advances, including non-invasive technical study of highly valued artworks. A vital application of the Maia detector is scanning x-ray fluorescence microscopy for obtaining the elemental composition of a large number of materials. The innovative detector allows connection between scientists & art communities to increase their understanding of historical artworks, broadening the field of authentication and potentially aiding the fight against art forgery as well as historical information. We have designed a new dedicated station that offers improvements in high stability, motion control and mounting. It is designed to support & scan various samples in size as well as shape powered by X & Y stages. A slide & hold clamping concept has been implemented which provides easy & rapid assembling of samples. This arrangement provides excellent interchangeability, supporting a variety of planar & non-planar samples for scanning.

  For the high demanding requirements of the beam-lines of the European XFEL [*] new mirror chambers were developed, designed and tested. A prototype contains the main features of all needed ten units which are tested extensively. The concept of the mirror chamber is a further development of our Cartesian parallel kinematics for X-ray optics in the UHV [**]. The stiffness and vibration behaviour were further improved and the position resolution was increased compared to earlier implementations at Bessy and Flash. For that the drives were redesigned and now feature a stroke of 100 mm with nanometer resolution.

  The ESRF is proceeding with the design and procurement of its new low emittance storage ring (Extremely Brilliant Source project). This completely new storage ring requires a high performance support system, providing high stability (first resonance frequency about 50Hz) and a precise alignment capability (50µm, manual in transverse direction and motorized in the vertical one). In order to meet these requirements we decided to support the magnets of each of the 32 cells of the synchrotron with four identical girders that was considered the best compromise between cost, complexity and performances. Each of the resulting 128 girders is 5.1m long, carries about seven tons of magnets, and its weight including fixed basement and adjusting system is six tons. The adjustment system relies on modified commercial wedges; their stiffness was evaluated through laboratory tests. The FEA calculations carried out to optimize the design will be presented, together with the results obtained on a complete prototype girder system which was built and extensively tested and confirmed the modal calculations.

TUPE22 Low-Order Aberrations Correction of Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Objective with Deformable Multilayer Mirrors ion, controls, optics, software 213

  For at-wavelength observation of a lithography mask, recently, we proposed an EUV microscope consisting of multilayer-mirror objective (operating wavelength: 13.5 nm, numerical aperture: 0.25). To provide diffraction-limited spatial resolution below 30 nm, reduction of wave aberrations of low order, i.e., spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism, should be key technical challenge for the microscope. In this paper, firstly, we describe detail of optical design and instrumentation of the point diffraction interferometer (PDI), so as to provide high enough sensing accuracy of 100 pm, which would be required for an optical axis adjustment of the EUV objective. Next, experimental results of wave front correction on the EUV objective are reported. We corrected spherical aberration and coma by precisely aligning an optical axis of the mirrors, while effects of astigmatism were also minimized with a figure-deformable mirror which can control radius of curvature in two mutually orthogonal directions. We confirmed that these low order terms should be less than 0.3 nm RMS.

TUPE32 A Girder-Free Magnet Support System Design ion, storage-ring, vacuum, brightness 236
 
  • S.K. Sharma
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
 
  Magnet support systems for the new light sources are required to satisfy several rigorous performance specifications. The support system must be rigid so that its static deflection under its own weight and the combined weight of the magnets is small and repeatable. For vibration stability the lowest natural frequency of the magnet-support assembly should be greater than 50 Hz. To meet thermal stability requirements it is desirable to minimize bending deformation of the support system when subjected to temperature changes. In addition, the magnet support system should be easy to transport, easy to align, and cost effective. Altogether these requirements are difficult to satisfy, especially if the main structural component of the support system is a girder of length greater than 3 meters. In this paper we propose a magnet support system design consisting of column-type supports joined by removable C-beams. The column-type supports provide a superior stability performance without compromising the alignment capability. Analysis results are presented to characterize the performance of this support system.

  Beam aperture slits mounted on stepper-motor driven X-Y stages are used in NSLS-II frontends to define the beam size and to limit thermal loads on downstream optical components. The X-Y stages have positional and resolution requirements of 1 µm and 0.1 µm, respectively. This is achieved by micro-stepping the stepper motor by a Delta-Tau GeoBrick-LV-NSLS-II controller. During the initial operation of the X-Y stages unacceptable levels of vibration when the stages were in motion, and an intermittent sharp squealing when they were at rest, were discovered. In this paper we present the studies that were undertaken to investigate these issues and the solutions that were implemented.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APSU) is to replace the existing storage ring with a multi-bend achromats (MBA) accelerator lattice *. For the APS-U removal and installation, current planning calls for a 12-month shutdown and testing period, prior to resumption of operations. It calls for quick installation of the magnet support system with assembly and installation alignment tolerance. A three-point, semi-kinematic vertical mount for the magnet modules is the approach to reduce time for alignment. The longest section is the curved FODO section (four quads with three Q-bends interleaved, and a three-pole wiggler). All magnets of the FODO section sit on a single piece of support structure in order to have a good control over the magnet-to-magnet alignment tolerance. It brings challenge to minimize the top surface deflection and maximize the first mode frequency of the magnet support structure that is supported at three points. These constraints call for the need of optimizing the magnet support structures. Details of the optimization, including three-point positioning, material selection, and topology optimization, are reported in this study.

WEAA04 Novel Numerical Method for Calculating the Shadow Projection and Collisions of a Multi-Axis Goniometer at Diamond ion, detector, vacuum, factory 267
 
  • V. Grama, A. Wagner
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  Beamline I23 is a long-wavelength macromolecular crystallography beamline at Diamond Light Source. The end station is a unique instrument with a bespoke cryogenically cooled multi-axis goniometer and a large curved Pilatus 12M detector in a high vacuum environment. As experiments become limited by radiation damage to the crystals, optimised strategies are needed to orient crystals in the most efficient way to obtain a complete dataset with a minimal X-ray dose. Two key factors affect the optimisation strategies. Firstly, shadowing on the detector by the goniometer resulting in data loss in this region and secondly, collisions between the goniometer and other components in the end station restricting the available angular range for sample centering and data collection. This paper discusses the numerical methods for calculating the shadowing of a multi-axis goniometer on a semi-cylindrical detector and the calculation of the allowable angles for various conditions to prevent collisions with neighbouring components.

  The Horizontal-Gap Vertically-Polarizing Undulator (HGVPU) is a compact, innovative, variable-gap insertion device developed by Argonne National Laboratory for the LCLS-II HXR beamline at SLAC. A full sized 3.4-meter-long prototype has been built and fully tested meeting all LCLS-II undulator specifications. An array of conical springs compensates the attractive magnetic forces of the undulator jaws. These springs are designed to exhibit non-linear spring characteristics that can be closely tuned to match the force curve exerted by the magnetic field, thereby minimizing the overall deflection of the strongbacks. The HGVPU also utilizes the existing LCLS-I support and motion system along with other existing equipment and infrastructure, thus lowering overall cost and installation downtime.

  The F-Switch is a new concept of device for the manipu-lation of large arrays of 2D CRLs or similar disc-shaped optical elements (12mm dia, 2mm thick) under high vac-uum. Unlike the well-known transfocator devices the optical elements are randomly selectable. This enables a number of potential modes of operation, including the fine adjustment of focal length by adjusting the effective lens centre position when using CRLs or the use of some positions within the array to implement filters or reference foils. Actuation and guidance is achieved within the thickness of the element, so that the overall length of the device is minimised. The device has been in user operation on the I04 MX beamline at Diamond Light Source (DLS) since 2015. Another device is being assembled for use on the I11 beamline at DLS. It is also hoped to install another device on the I03 beamline. We present details of the mechanical design of the F-Switch and some examples of its operation.

  Sector 1-ID at the APS accommodates a number of different experimental techniques in the same spatial envelope of the E-hutch end station. These include high energy small and wide angle x-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS), high energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM, both near and far field modes) and X-ray tomography. These techniques are frequently combined to allow the users to obtain multimodal data with 1 um spatial resolution and 0.05° angular resolution. Furthermore, these techniques are utilized while the sample is thermo-mechanically loaded to mimic real operating conditions. The instrumentation required for each of these techniques has been designed and configured in a modular way with a focus on stability and repeatability between changeovers. This not only allows the end station to be used for a greater number of techniques but it also results in a reduction of time and effort typically required for set up and alignment. Key instrumentation design features and layout of the end station are presented.

THAA04 Upgrading a Transmission SAX/WAX Beamline to Allow High Quality GISAX/GIWAX Experiments for Soft Matter Thin Films ion, detector, vacuum, scattering 390
 
  • A.R. Marshall
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  The project required a sample environment to deliver experiments in vacuum or helium, with high humidity, including capacity to use aggressive solvents. The compact, transportable system incorporates a high precision in-vacuum manipulator/ positioning stage (with repeatability better than1 µm/ 1 mdeg) allowing for multiple sample configurations. Current sample mounts include in-situ film formation (Doctor Blade), thermal annealing/drying heater stage, sample cooling and multiple sample stages; the system has been designed to accommodate many sample substrate formats. The existing end station camera system has been upgraded to include two, in-vacuum, WAXS and SAXS area detectors, which are custom builds based on the Pilatus 6M. The SAX detector module includes three in vacuum, independent ,configurable SAXS beam stop manipulators to block GISAXS transmitted, reflected and specular flare as well as isotropic and anisotropic SAX, a photon sensitive detector shutter plate is included. The 4 mm diameter tungsten beamstops each include a miniature photodiode to measure beam intensity and can be positioned to within 10 µm precision in X and Y over 300 mm x 250 mm motion range.
