  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 basic problem for photon absorbers in a particle accelerator is to remove a large quantity of heat from a small space. Heat pipes and vapor chambers excel at precisely this so it is natural to consider them for the application. However, even though this technology has been proven to be an excellent thermal management solution for cooling everything from laptops to satellite shields in space, they have yet to be adopted for use in particle accelerators. The use of heat pipes and vapor chambers are thermal transport devices which work on the principle of capillary-force-driven two-phase flow. These devices are highly customizable and offer very high effective thermal conductivities (5,000-200, 000 W/m/K) depending on many factors including size, shape, and orientation. This paper discusses feasibility of the use of heat pipes and vapor chambers as the primary heat transport devices in particle accelerator photon absorbers. We discuss their limitations and advantages via careful consideration of analysis and simulation results assuming properties described in the literature and manufacturer specifications.
