  In the framework of the design of an adaptive optics for x-ray mirrors a stabilization system* for force actuators and flexure hinges have been conceived. This corrector allows to deform the mirror surface at nanometre level but for this purpose it requires resolutions better than 0.02, by using ultra-low constant springs, and to preserve the introduced deformation it is needed to be stable at the same level. The corrector needs to be insensitive when dismantling and remounting the mirror. In the other hand in order to support the corrector its structure is attached to the bender frame and the spring force is transmitted through a level arm by means a bearing articulation. This introduces a small friction but it is still preferably to eliminate it. A new method based -k spring-like constant principle is proposed. Based on this technique it is possible to stabilize the force exerted on the mirror below 0,02N for an error range more than 1 mm. In addition applying the principle to a flexure it allows to compensate it in an angular range in within the torque variation tend to be null, below 0,005 Nm, thus becoming a short range, frictionless and zero torque articulation.

  The monochromator is known to be one of the most critical optical elements of a synchrotron beamline, since it directly affects the beam quality with respect to energy and position. Naturally, the new 4th generation machines, with their small emittances, start to bring about higher stability performance requirements, in spite of factors as high power loads, power load variation, and vibration sources. A new high-dynamics DCM (Double Crystal Monochromator) is under development at the Brazilian Light Source for the Sirius EMA beamline (Extreme Condition X-ray Methods of Analysis). The disturbances induced by the coolant flows are known to be among the most detrimental influences to a DCM performance, however, quantitative force numbers involved in such disturbances are not commonly investigated. According to the novel dynamic concept, these forces should be predictably translated into stability performance. Therefore, experimental setups that allow the indirect measurement of such forces in conditions close to those of operation were designed. The results comparing different indirect cooling profiles and manufacturing processes (brazing and additive manufacturing) are shown.

  For more than two decades, ground vibration measurements were made by different teams for feasibility studies of linear accelerators. Recent measurements were performed in the SPS tunnel and at different CERN sites on the surface. The devices to measure vibrations of magnitude ranging in nanometres, the analysis techniques and the results are critically discussed and compared with the former measurements. The implication of the measured integrated R.M.S. displacements for the Crab cavities cavern is mentioned. The equipment used in this study consists of 2 state-of-the-art Guralp broadband triaxial seismometers. Models CMG-T60-0004 performed measurements in three directions V, N/S and E/W. The first analysis was to evaluate the power spectral density for each direction of sensors and event. The power spectral density is calculated from the auto power spectrum. The power spectral density shows a typical curve for the geophones with theμseismic peak between 0.2 and 0.4 [Hz]. It is import ant to point that ground vibrations should not be ignored in planning accelerator facility. Actually it is one of the limiting factor in the optimization of future accelerators.

  The abstract porpoise is explain how is providing the LM Guide for high performance machine by realizing the waving of Nano-level and achieves super-low waving and ultra-high rigidity by adopting 8 rows of raceways in the LM Guide. These models adopt (1) 8 rows of raceways, (2) small-diameter balls and (3) super-long blocks, in order to realize super-low waving and ultra-high rigidity that surpass the conventional LM Guide. With this approach, the number of effective balls is substantially increased, and the amplitude of the rolling element in motion is minimized. The new models realize super-low waving comparable to hydrostatic guides. In addition, the deformation of the ball is minimized to achieve ultra-high rigidity that surpasses even roller guides. Primary applications Super-precision processing machines/High-precision machining centre/Lathe/Surface grinder/Semiconductor manufacturing equipment/FPD manufacturing machines/High-performance measuring machines. [Waving evaluation] The waving values are approximately 1/10 of that (100 to 300 nm) of conventional ordinary LM Guides.

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.

In the recent years, the number of high power lasers devoted to particle acceleration has increased in Europe. Additionally to this, some synchrotrons and accelerators are integrating these lasers in its lines, increasing the scientific synergies. The HP laser must be transported in HV. The use of HV also permits good cleanliness in the optical set up. As addition, is necessary to create an adaptable and modular design where several chambers could be assembled together. One additional constrain is the stability. A new model of HV chambers is presented. These consist in a frame where the walls are exchangeable panels, which make easier the introduction of a new configuration of ports. The system was designed as construction blocks. For a proper connection of the chambers a new interior fixation and pushers system was designed. Thanks to this, coupling new HV chambers, the volume total can be also easily modified. Finally, a third generation decoupled system is integrated inside, consisting of a stable breadboard, this supported by six columns that implement a preloaded kinematical mount, providing both an outstanding stability and a fine regulation (1st RM: 77Hz).

  This work investigates experimentally and numerically the performance of the ALBA LINAC cooling system. The main objective is to enhance the hydraulic system in order to significantly improve its thermal and water flow stability. In normal operation some problems have been identified that affect the performance of the LINAC: flowrate below the nominal values and water flow decreasing in time. The cooling subsystems have been experimentally characterized in terms of the pressure drop and flowrate. The measurements were taken using a portable hydraulic unit made at ALBA as well as a set of ultrasonic flowmeters. For the numerical studies the cooling network has been simulated using the software Pipe Flow Expert. The experimental results have shown that a number of components are too restrictive. In some cases the possibility to increase the flowrate is limited. The numerical results show that the velocity magnitude is inadequate in some places, producing air bubble entrapment, high pressure drop at pipes and insufficient flow. Based on this study several modifications are presented in order to raise the nominal flow and to adequate the water flow velocities between 0.5 and 3 m/s.

MOPE43 Hydraulic Failure Caused by Air in Pipelines of the Experimental Area Ring of ALBA Synchrotron Light Source: Research, Simulations and Solutions ion, controls, simulation, operation 105

  After five years in operation of the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source a hydraulic failure caused a maximum decreasing of water flow about 40% of its nominal value, hampering the refrigeration of the local components. The problem was mainly caused by the air accumulated in pipes due to very low velocities of water flow. A literature review was conducted about the minimum water flow velocity for removing air in pipelines as design criteria. The aim of this work is to develop hydraulic solutions in order to achieve the minimum flowrate in pipelines of the Experimental Area (EA) ring. In the short term it is proposed to install a controlled bypass in the EA. A numerical simulation using the software Pipe Flow Expert has been implemented in order to determine the requirements of the bypass that works under different conditions to assure a minimum flowrate all along the ring. The velocity map in EA ring is simulated for different scenarios: 180 and 360 degrees distribution for both clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. For the long term a design of pipes with variable cross section is proposed which optimizes the flow velocity magnitude in EA ring in agreement with the design criteria.

Hard x-ray polarisers are commonly applied in synchrotron radiation research to produce photons in a pure polarization state, and as polarization filters to analyse the photon’s polarization state after their interaction with a sample medium. We present the design of a mechanical assembly suitable for a hard X-ray polariser that requires multiple degrees of freedom with the base stage capable of handling at least 2-3 kg loads. The intermediary stages (roll, yaw, and translation directions) consist of commercially available tip/tilt and translational stages (Kohzu Precision Co., LTD). However, the requirements of the pitch stage are much more demanding and require a custom-designed flexure-based rotation stage. The design and analysis of this flexure-based rotation stage will be discussed in this study. This will include FEA analysis of the dynamic response and rotation range capabilities which will then be compared to mechanical performance test results using laser interferometers and accelerometer sensors.

TUCA03 Estimation of the Temperature Fluctuations Harshness Regarding Stability of Structures in the Nanometer Range ion, ECR, simulation, operation 133

  Thermally induced distortions are a key contributor to the overall positional and pointing performance of high-stability systems. Though stability scales with temperature fluctuations, there is some hidden complexity is the subject. Firstly, not all temperature oscillations will distort the structure: fast variations will hardly propagate into the structure, little change in overall dimensions but primarily pointing errors. Conversely, slow variations will result in quasi uniform temperature fields that change dimensions, hence mainly positional errors. Secondly, there is randomness in temperature fluctuations which obscures the actual severity of a given environment: randomness occurs timewise, but also space-wise. For highly stable situations, random part of the temperature field becomes prominent, and discarding this component becomes questionable. No harshness indicator exists that could help quantifying the actual severity of a given thermal environment. It is the objective of this paper to provide some insight on the matter, and propose a simple yet efficient numerical method allowing the evaluation of actual structural response to any realistic thermal environment.

TUPE01 DMM Thermal Mechanical Design ion, optics, detector, operation 152
 
  • J.H. Kelly
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  A Double Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house for the VMXi beamline. Thermal mechanical finite element analysis was performed to design a novel optic geometry, employing In/Ga eutectic cooling. The integration of a DMM into the existing beamline required additional power management components, such as a low energy power filter, a power detector and compact CuCrZr masks. This paper describes the thermal management challenges and their solutions. The DMM has been fully commissioned and is operational within the original I02 beamline.

  National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center in Taiwan (NSRRC) had set up three cryogenic systems to provide liquid helium to superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities, insertion devices, and highly brilliant hard X-ray. The first one could produce liquid helium 134 LPH, with maximum cooling capacity of 469 W at 4.5 K. The second one could produce liquid helium 138 LPH, with maximum cooling capacity of 475 W at 4.5 K. The third one could produce liquid helium 239 LPH, with maximum cooling capacity of 890 W at 4.5 K. However, large liquid helium discharge in a closed space will cause personnel danger of lack of oxygen. We performed Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation to analyse helium discharge through a SRF cavity in the Taiwan Light Source (TPS) tunnel. We simulated cases of helium discharge flow rates from 0.1 kg/s to 4.2 kg/s with and without fresh air supplied from the air conditioning system. We also set up both physical and numerical models within a space of 2.4m in length, 1.2m in width and 0.8m in height with nitrogen discharge inside to validate the CFD simulation.

TUPE18 Design and FEA of a 3D Printed Detector Window Frame ion, detector, scattering, vacuum 201
 
  • W. Tizzano
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  The purpose of the project was to design and simulate a window assembly to be used in GISAX/GIWAX experiments. The window lies between the sample and the WAXS** detector, a modified, in-vacuum detector, with modules removed to allow scattered radiation to pass through to a SAXS*** detector positioned downstream. The window uses 75um thick Kapton HN film and given the size, pressure and the short distance to the sensors, it was necessary to support it on a frame. To avoid any information loss from shadowing of the detector, a frame was designed so that shadows will be projected into the gaps between the detector modules. The geometry was such that DMLS**** was an effective way of producing the item. Given the slenderness of the structure and the forces it supports, the material approaches or exceeds its yield point, so a bilinear, isotropic, hardening material model was chosen; moreover, large deflections were enabled. Also, the contacts were modelled with augmented Lagrange frictional formulation. All these assumptions made the analysis strongly non-linear.

  The acoustic levitator utilizes two transducers that emit acoustic waves. A standing wave is generated between the two transducers that allows for the levitation of particles at the nodes of the standing wave. These levitated particles experience an instability. In order to aid in the process of solving this instability, the acoustic field created by one of the transducers was characterized in this experiment. This characterization helps to understand the intensity of the acoustic field at different points throughout the region and how the acoustic wave diverges as it travels away from the transducer.

Shanghai X-ray Free Electron Laser test facility (SXFEL) began construction on Dec.30 2014. It is quite important to monitor the ground vibration influenced by the construction at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), because the SXFEL is just in the north of SSRF and the nearest distance is only 20m. In this paper, the results of ground vibration measurement during the construction period at SSRF experimental hall, tunnel and experimental room near the SXFEL site are shown. Vibrations at different hours, frequency bands and directions are discussed to provide more detailed information on the influence of SXFEL construction to SSRF.

  In the frame of the Extremely Brilliant Source project (EBS), studies dedicated to disturbances have been more intensively investigated. Engineering instabilities have two origins: mechanical and thermal. Major thermal issues are: - air conditioning presents a temperature ramp up of 2°C along the sector - storage ring requires a warm up period of 4 days for reaching a stable orbit These effects have been observed and corrected for 20 years. With EBS requirements, we need to identify these thermal effects in order to reduce the disturbances, thus improving more systematically the source stability. The study is lead by the comparison between the present and the new thermal system. To do so, it is necessary to evaluate the heat balance in this system, as well as to identify the thermal time constant of each component. FEA models have been performed to reveal sensitivity of these thermal issues. A full scale mock-up cell equipped with a prototype girder is measured with power cables inside. A FEA model was also developed for the present storage ring to analyse the air stream. Although investigations have already been developed, some others remain to be achieved by the end of 2016.

MBA designs are placing stringent mechanical tolerances on the magnet support systems. At the APS-U the mag-net-to-magnet vibration tolerances are about 10 nm *. Timelines, installation requirements, and budgets constrain the resources available for prototyping and physical testing. Reliance on FEA to predict dynamic response is para-mount in insuring the tolerances are met. However, obtaining accurate results from a magnet support structure FEA is not as simple as analysing the CAD model of the structure. The 16th century author Nostradamus published a collection of prophecies that since his time, have been held up as predictions of various world events. While it is attractive to think his collection of short poems can be used to foretell the future, in reality it is only the vagueness and absence of any dates that make them easy to apply in a posthoc basis. Arguably, a similar statement can be made about the use of FEA in predicting accelerator support response. In this presentation the important contributors to FEA dynamic modelling will be discussed along with techniques that can be used to generate necessary data for models that can accurately predict response.

  The fast closing shutter (FCS) system plays an important role in protecting the ultra-high vacuum in the SPring-8 storage ring from a sudden vacuum accident in the beam-lines. In order to predict the transit time of the shock wave and the following pressure increase, a shock tube system with an inner diameter of 35 mm and a total length of 10 m was prepared to measure the shock Mach number. Experiments have been conducted that simulated an inrush of the atmosphere into the high-vacuum (~10-3 Pa) pipe by using a trigger system that combines of a thin cellophane diaphragm with a plunger. Special ionization gauges with a high-speed amplifier are distributed about every 1 m to detect the transit time of the shock wave and to measure the pressure in a low-pressure chamber after the actuation of the FCS system. By inserting vacuum components with various cross-sectional shapes including actual front-end components into the shock tube, the attenuation in the shock wave was systematically investigated.

WEPE14 Minimizing Grating Slope Errors in the IEX Monochromator at the Advanced Photon Source ion, photon, ISOL, optics 336

The IEX beamline at the APS is currently in the commissioning phase. The energy resolution of the beamline was not meeting original specifications by several orders of magnitude. The monochromator, an in-focus VLS-PGM, is currently configured with a high and a medium-line-density grating. Experimental results indicated that both gratings were contributing to the poor energy resolution and this led to venting the monochromator to investigate. The initial suspicion was that a systematic error had occurred in the ruling process on the VLS gratings, but that proved to not be the case. Instead the problem was isolated to mechanical constraints used to mount the gratings into their respective side-cooled holders. Modifications were made to the holders to eliminate problematic constraints without compromising the rest of the design. Metrology performed on the gratings in the original and modified holders demonstrated a 20-fold improvement in the surface profile error which was consistent with finite element analysis performed in support of the modifications. Two gratings were successfully reinstalled and subsequent measurements with beam show a dramatic improvement in energy resolution.

WEPE15 High Frequency UHV Mechanical X-Ray Beam Chopper ion, vacuum, electron, controls 339

  A mechanical chopper* has been designed and built to perform X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) experiments with operating liquid electrochemical cells at NAPP end station of ALBA Synchrotron (BL24, CIRCE). When operating the cell, to separate the weak currents induced by the X-ray absorption process at the electrode in contact with the electrolyte (TEY signal) from the faradaic current set between the electrodes, the incoming beam must be chopped at a certain frequency (w). Then, using a lock in amplifier, the signal at this frequency w can be extracted and measured. When the chopper is located in the beam path, it produces pulses with a frequency w, modulating the TEY signal. The chopper developed at ALBA, with variable frequency, improves previous designs which used piezo-actuated choppers constrained to work at fixed oscillating frequencies**. The design consists of a slotted disk that spins around an axis by means of an UHV stepper motor. A LED and photodiode based UHV sensor ensures that frequency drifts do not affect the measurements. The motor is hold by an internally water cooled OFHC support, which allows long duration experiments at high speeds without stopping.

  The live animal imaging program at the Bio-Medical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT) facility at the Canadian Light Source has been developing for the last 5 years and continues to grow. It is expected to become a large portion of the user activity as numerous groups work towards the goal of live animal studies. Synchrotron-based imaging of live animals is an opportunity for great science that also brings challenges and specific requirements for the experimental end-station. The beamline currently provides basic support and has been improving the facilities available. For example, there have been changes to the lab to allow for longer rodent housing and improved housing during measurements. Remote control of heat lamps and of flow rate for gas anaesthesia allow a veterinarian or animal care worker to make adjustments without interrupting the imaging. Integration of user equipment such as heart/breathing monitoring and ultrasound equipment with the beamline systems can be used for gating control of imaging. Future improvements will be done with consultation with university veterinarians and the user groups.

WEPE26 Upgrade the Beamline PF-AR NW14A for the High-Repetition-Rate X-Ray Pump-Probe Experiments ion, laser, focusing, optics 351
 
  • S. Nozawa
    KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
 
  We report the upgrade of the x-ray pump probe system to high repetition rate at the beamline PF-AR NW14A. A 400 fs high-repetition rate fiber laser system (Amplitude, Tangerine) was newly installed. The fiber laser system, which is operated at 1030 nm fundamental wavelength, is capable of reaching up to 0.1 mJ pulse with a repetition rate of 400 kHz. A higher harmonic generation system enlarges the spectral range from UV to mid-infrared. To increase the laser power density at a sample position, the x-ray was additionally focused by a polycapillary lens (Polycapillary Optics, XOS). The synchronization of X-ray and laser pulses is based on the RF master clock of the storage ring. The delay between the laser and the X-ray is controlled by changing the emission timing of the laser with a Trigger & Clock Delay Module (84DgR5CO1, CANDOX). The high repetition rate system increases experimental efficiency 400 times.

  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.

The BioXAS beam-lines are a recently completed group of beam-lines at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). The BioXAS EXAFS beam-lines host three 32-element germanium detectors. There was a need to introduce an exchangeable filter between the soller slits and the 32-element germanium detectors. It was further required to have an automated filter exchange system so that users could quickly vary filter thicknesses and types to determine the effect on the signal. An auto-mounting filter system was created to meet these requirements and allows users to quickly exchange filters without breaking experimental hutch lockup. The auto-mounter cartridge can hold up to ten slides that measure 100mm X 55mm in cross-section. The device inserts slides in an extremely small envelope between the soller slits and the liquid helium cryostat. The auto-mounter assembly also houses the stages required to actuate the soller slits laterally and vertically. During device commissioning we performed 800 consecutive successful filter exchanges as part of a stress test. The spatial constraints, mechanics, and fabrication of the device will be presented. Software development will also be discussed.

We present the final engineering design and first commissioning results of two highly integrated experimental stations for the micro-focusing (FMX) and the highly automated (AMX) MX beamlines at the NSLS-II. These beamlines will support a broad range of biomedical structure determination methods. The experimental stations are designed and fabricated in-house to meet the challenging requirements resulting from the small beam size of 1 µm and the extremely short working distance of only 190 mm from the beam exit window to the FMX focal spot. The compact beam conditioning unit contains, within 140 mm, a beam position monitor, an attenuator, primary slits, an intensity monitor, a sub-millisecond shutter, and secondary slits. The diffractometers consist of an interchangeable dual axis air bearing-based goniometers with a target sphere of confusion of 100 nm, an on-axis microscope, an x-ray fluorescence detector and dynamic beam shaping slits. The end stations are integrated in a compact space on a granite machine bed with high modularity for future upgrades and extensions. Real-time autonomous robotic systems are being implemented for high through-put cryogenic sample handling.

  For the experiments at synchrotron radiation source BESSY II synchrotron of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin a new end station and a new beam-line were developed and are now in user operation. The end station contains a 9-2-1 Tesla vectorial magnet and a cryostat with manipulator for the sample cooling and positioning, an UHV deposition chamber, and an UHV detector chamber. We report here on the technical design of the detector chamber which is placed below the magnet chamber and is also connected to the deposition chamber. Because of various constrains a sophisticated mechanics had to be developed to provide integrated functionality for both the detector holder and the sample transfer units. The detector unit consists of a tubular holder of 5 cm diameter which travels more than 60 cm vertically and exhibits an unlimited rotation degree of freedom of 360 degrees within the magnet bore. The sample transfer unit consists of a telescopic movement mechanism allowing for the sample holder vertical travel within the detector tubular holder. The functionality challenges and their resolve were addressed in an innovative mechanical design.

  At Small-angle X-ray Scattering beamlines (SAXS), beamstops are needed to block the intense primary beam that has not been scattered by the sample in order to protect the detector from any damage. Beamstops are usually confined inside a vacuum tube minimizing air space between the sample and the detector. For certain experiments, a motorized beamstop is required to achieve a precise positioning in different regions of the detector active area. ALBA has developed a new motorized beamstop* consisting of a two-rotation mechanism inside vacuum that composes a movement able to cover all range of the active area of the detector. The presented solution involves a main rotation reached by a gear and a worm drive actuated by a stepper motor and a second rotation relative to the main one produced by a piezo rotation stage. For each position appears two different solutions. This characteristic permits take two equivalent images in the detector with the same beamstop position but different orientation in the beamstop support; thus permitting the compensation of the support shadow on the active area of the detector.
