  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.

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).

Nanopositioning techniques present an important capability to support the state-of-the-art synchrotron radiation instrumentation research for the APS operations and upgrade project. To overcome the performance limitations of precision ball-bearing-based or roller-bearing-based linear stage systems, two compact linear nanopositiioning flexure stages have been designed and developed at the APS with centimeter-level travel range and nanometer-level resolution for x-ray experimental applications. The APS T8-54 linear flexure stage is designed to perform a precision wire scan as a differential aperture for the 3-D diffraction microscope at the APS sector 34, and the APS T8-56 linear flexure stage is designed for a horizontal sample scanning stage for a hard x-ray microscope at the APS sector 2. Both linear flexure stages are using a similar improved deformation compensated linear guiding mechanism which was developed initially at the APS for the T8-52 flexural linear stage *. The mechanical design and finite element analyses of the APS T8-54 and T8-56 flexural stages, as well as its initial mechanical test results with laser interferometer are described in this paper.

  The TPS 24A, Soft X-ray Tomography (SXT) beamline, is one of the beamlines in the second construction phase at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). This bending magnet (BM) beamline has high flux in the range between 260 eV and 2600 eV. It is designed for transmission full-field imaging of frozen-hydrated biological samples. At the exit slit, the beam flux optimized in 520 eV is 282 billion photons/second with resolving power 2000, the beam size is 0.05 mm × 0.06 mm (V × H, FWHM) and the beam divergence is 1.73 mrad × 1.57 mrad (V × H, FWHM). By contributions of the generic beamline components project in recent years, modular mechanisms would be used in this beamline such as mask, X-ray beam position monitor (XBPM), photon absorber (PAB), and screens. However, these beamline components were designed for ID beamlines, so they should be redesigned for BM beamlines. This paper generally introduce these beamline components decided and redesigned for the TPS 24A. They will play important roles at the BM beam-lines in the future.

Tubular vacuum chamber assemblies made of aluminum, copper and stainless steel alloys will be used in the new Multi Bend Achromat (MBA) storage ring that is being developed at Advanced Photon Source (APS). Details of the new lattice magnet system design and ring impedance considerations continue to drive these vacuum chambers to smaller dimensions and thinner walls with tighter geometric tolerances under higher thermal loads. It is important to carefully evaluate the methods used to join these dissimilar metal components looking for compromise in primary strength, permeability, electrical and thermal properties while still creating structures that are ultra-high vacuum compatible and leak-tight. This paper visually details the underlying metallurgical changes that occur when joining various combinations of aluminum, OFE copper, GlidCop® and stainless steel using brazing, bonding and welding techniques. Each of the techniques has its advantages and disadvantages with engineering and economic consequences.

COXINEL (COherent Xray source INferred from Electrons accelerated by Laser) is a European Research Council (ERC) advance grant aims at demonstrating Free Electron Laser amplification at 200 nm with 180 MeV electrons generated by laser plasma acceleration. A special electron beam transfer line with adequate diagnostics has been designed for this project. Strong-focusing variable-field permanent magnet quadrupoles, energy de-mixing chicane and a set of conventional quadrupoles condition the electron beam before its entrance to an In-Vacuum U20 undulator. This presentation describes some of the features incorporated into the design of the magnets, girders, vacuum vessels and diagnostic equipment for this experimental machine. Progress on the equipment preparation and installation is presented as well.

WEPE26 Upgrade the Beamline PF-AR NW14A for the High-Repetition-Rate X-Ray Pump-Probe Experiments ion, experiment, 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.

  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.
