MOPE30 | The Development of CuCrZr High Heat Load Absorber in TPS | ion, vacuum, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation | 77 |
|
|||
TPS project in National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) in Taiwan has reached 500mA design goal. Several upgrades and design enhancements is also under development. CuCrZr copper alloy material has been selected to examine its UHV compatibility, machinability and high heat load sustainability. Most importantly, the absorber is made entirely by CuCrZr (including two end flanges) and installed in the mid-section of double minimum of tandem EPU48 undulators to shadow beam miss-steered synchrotron radiation from upstream EPU. Both the result and fabrication time (without brazing) are promising. | |||

TUPE04 | Coherent Soft X-Ray EPU Vacuum Chamber Thermal Analysis for Synchrotron Radiation Protection | ion, vacuum, synchrotron-radiation, synchrotron | 159 |
|
|||
Funding: Department of Energy The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of beam mis-steering, on the temperature of the vacuum chamber. The chamber used for this study was for the Coherent Soft X-Ray (CSX) Elliptically Polarizing Undulator (EPU). Finite Element Analysis was conducted on the vacuum chamber to determine the temperature distribution on the chamber for set values of beam mis-steer, for NSLS-II. These results were then compared with on-site temperature measurements taken using RTD¿s, as well as thermal sensitive cameras. The accuracy of these results was analyzed and further FEA studies were proposed for steeper beam mis-steers and beam offsets. |

TUPE06 | Thermo-Fluid Numerical Simulation of the Crotch Absorbers’ Cooling Pinholes for ALBA Storage Ring | ion, storage-ring, synchrotron, simulation | 165 |
|
|||
The ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility crotch absorbers, that remove the unused storage ring radiation, incorporate an internal cooling system composed by a number of parallel pinholes and by the corresponding stainless steel inner tubes inserted into each of them. Water flows in the resulting annular sections to evacuate the total heat power. Around each inner tube, a spiral wire is fixed along the whole length with a given pitch height in order to enhance the convection heat transfer. The influence of several design parameters on the absorber thermo-fluid behavior has been evaluated by means of the CFD software ANSYS CFX. In particular, the wall heat transfer coefficients and the pressure losses through a single pinhole have been evaluated for a range of different flow rates and pitch heights. Moreover, some modifications of the end wall geometry have been simulated as well as the effect of reversing the flow direction inside the channels. Finally, the critical crotch absorber type 3 has also been simulated and the limiting pitch height-flow rate combinations have been found based on the available driving pressure of the cooling system. | |||

TUPE08 | Finite Element Analysis of a Photon Absorber Based on Volumetric Absorption of the Photon Beam | ion, photon, simulation, synchrotron-radiation | 169 |
|
|||
Funding: This research used resources of the APS, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility operated by Argonne National Laboratory under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. Designing photon absorbers for next generation multibend achromat storage rings can be challenging considering the high power densities and limited space that will typically be present. The potential for problematically high material temperatures and thermal gradients can be expected to be greater than that for previous generation machines on account of the shorter source-to-receiving surface distances. Conventionally, photon absorbers are made from copper which is highly opaque to x-rays. A consequence of this is that the majority of the heat is absorbed within a very short distance of the surface. Utilizing materials that allow a more volumetric absorption of the radiation can improve the efficiency of heat removal as it can keep surface temperatures and thermal gradients lower than would otherwise be possible. This paper discusses multiphysics analysis of a crotch absorber for the APS Upgrade project (APS-U) via full-coupling of heat-transfer and structural mechanics. The simulation results are discussed in detail. |

TUPE11 | Study on Thermal Mechanical Design and Optimization Analysis for the ALBA Infrared Microspectroscopy Beamline (MIRAS) Extraction Mirror Based on Finite Element Analysis | ion, extraction, dipole, synchrotron | 179 |
|
|||
This paper reports design, modelling, simulation and optimization results for the ALBA MIRAS infrared radiation extraction mirror. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to simulate the thermal mechanical behaviour of the device. With the aim to ensure a good thermal performance, conservative assumptions were applied: all of the incident Bending Magnet (BM) radiation is absorbed at the mirror surface, constant bending magnetic field and low thermal contact between the mirror Al 6061 and the OFHC copper arm. A novel solution has been implemented in order to provide an effective cooling by a natural convection on the in-air part of extraction mirror assembly. This has voided the necessity for a water cooling that often causes problems due to the associated vibrations. The power conditions were calculated by using SynRad+. The main ALBA Storage Ring design parameters are: 3 GeV, 400 mA and 1.42 T. According to these conditions, the mirror absorbs 15 W with a peak power density of 0.51 W/mm2. The peak temperature calculated was 63.2 °C. The real measurements reported during the commissioning stage showed a good thermal performance, in agreement with the results predicted by FEA. | |||

TUPE14 | Study, Design and Optimization Analysis of the ALBA LOREA Dipole Vacuum Chamber and Crotch Absorbers Based on Finite Element Analysis | ion, dipole, vacuum, simulation | 191 |
|
|||
This work deals with the FEA study, design and optimization of the LOREA dipole vacuum chamber and Glidcop Al-15 crotch absorbers. At present LOREA is the ninth beam-line being designed at ALBA with an Insertion Device (ID) consisting of an Apple II-type helical undulator. For the standard dipole chamber the vertical polarized light hits the walls because of the very narrow vertical aperture between the cooling channels. In vertical mode the ID vertical divergence equals ± 2.2 mrad and the peak power density and total power are 5.6 kW/mrad² and 5.5 kW, respectively. Due to the high power a temperature as high as more than 600 °C is calculated. In consequence the dipole chamber has to be modified and the absorbers have to withstand the Bending Magnet (BM) and ID radiation. The new absorbers have to be thicker and its cooling channels are farer from BM power deposition than the standard absorbers. The thermal mechanical simulations show good results, the new absorbers are in a safe range, the maximum temperature, stress and strain are 309.2 °C, 164.2 MPa and 0.14%, respectively. The main ALBA Storage Ring design parameters used in the simulations are: 3 GeV, 400 mA and 1.42 T (BM). | |||

TUPE15 | Thermal Management and Crystal Clamping Concepts for the New High-Dynamics DCM for Sirius | ion, synchrotron, simulation, undulator | 194 |
|
|||
Funding: Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Inovation 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). In order to achieve high-bandwidth control and stability of a few nrad, as well as to prevent unpredicted mounting and clamping distortions, new solutions are proposed for crystal fixation and thermal management. Since the design is based on flexural elements, it should be indeed highly predictable, so that the work was developed using mechanical and thermal FEA, including CFD. Efforts were made to predict thermal boundaries associated with the synchrotron beam, including incident, diffracted and scattered power, for which the undulator spectrum was employed in the Monte Carlo simulation package - FLUKA *. * "FLUKA: a multi-particle transport code", A.

TUPE26 | Carbon-Steel/poliethylene Radiation Enclosures for the Sirius Beamlines | ion, shielding, simulation, neutron | 223 |
|
|||
Funding: Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication Lead enclosures have been used over the past decades for radiation protection at mid and high-energy synchrotron light-sources, requiring nearly 10% of the investment needed to set up a new beamline. Due to the increasing concern about neutron levels, in part due to the reduction of the photon radiation levels with the increased thickness of the hutch walls, the existing constructive models were revisited and a new constructive approach based on Carbon-Steel (CS) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is proposed for the SIRIUS beamlines, leading to increased overall radiation protection and potentially lower cost. This work is going to show preliminary simulation results, cost-comparison, as well as a few mechanical design details and prototyping initiatives. |

WEBA04 | A Discussion on Utilization of Heat Pipes and Vapour Chamber Technology as a Primary Device for Heat Extraction from Photon Absorber Surfaces | ion, photon, simulation, factory | 280 |
|
|||
Funding: This research used resources of the APS, a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility operated by Argonne National Laboratory under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. 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. |

WEPE01 | Combined Fixed Mask, Photon Shutter, Safety Shutter, and Collimator Design for BXDS IVU at the CLS | ion, photon, operation, vacuum | 309 |
|
|||
Funding: Canadian Foundation for Innovation The first shutter assembly outside of the Front End (FE) for Brockhouse X-Ray Diffraction and Scattering Sector (BXDS) beamline required a unique design solution to accommodate all components into required safety shutter position. Located between the IVW high energy wiggler monochromator and POE1 wall, the total envelope size approximated 1m x 0.660m (LxW). Accommodating a smaller space required an alternative shutter design than traditionally used implemented at the CLS. The alternative proposed design combined the collimator (CLM), safety shutter (SSH), photon shutter (PSH) and Fixed Mask (FM) into one chamber. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted on the FM and PSH assembly to verify that geometric designs were adequate for reasonable operation in the beamline. FEA was used to determine the steady-state thermal and static-structural response in both operating positions. Missteer was analyzed for both operating positions to a maximum of 2.5mm (commonly accepted missteer used at the CLS) from center. Finally, two extreme position (5mm) analyses were completed for determination of potential, but unlikely operating conditions. |

WEPE04 | Design of X-Ray Beam Position Monitor for High Heat Load Front Ends of the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade | ion, detector, vacuum, undulator | 318 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 Accurate and stable x-ray beam position monitors (XBPMs) are key elements in obtaining the desired user beam stability in the Advanced Photon Source (APS). Currently, the APS is upgrading its facility to increase productivity and to provide far more highly coherent and brilliant hard x-rays to beamline experiments with a new storage ring magnet lattice based on a multi-bend achromat (MBA) lattice. To improve the beam stability, one of the proposed beam diagnostics is the grazing-incidence insertion device x-ray beam position monitor (GRID-XBPM) for high heat load (HHL) front ends (FEs) at the APS. In this paper, final design of the GRID-XBPM and the high-power beam test results at beamline 27-ID-FE will be addressed. |

WEPE05 | Innovative Design of Radiation Shielding for Synchrotron Light Sources | ion, shielding, synchrotron, storage-ring | 321 |
|
|||
Over the course of decades, the shape of the bulk shielding walls for synchrotron light sources has developed into a standard configuration, including a ratchet shape of the outer storage ring wall, to accommodate the clearance needs for front end and first optical enclosure assemblies. New state of the art light sources will have low emittance, high energy beams, which will give potential for higher beam losses. These losses will yield higher radiation dose rates at the downstream wall and stricter safety requirements in the first optical enclosure. Throughout the installation of local shields at NSLS-II, verification dose rate studies of various shielding configurations were performed. Analysis of these studies revealed that a circular outer bulk shield wall could greatly reduce the dose rate to the users who work near the front end optical components. This presentation discusses the benefits of this circular bulk shield wall verses the challenges of component installation near the wall and ways to mitigate them. | |||

WEPE06 | High Heat Load Front Ends for Sirius | ion, photon, vacuum, storage-ring | 324 |
|
|||
Funding: Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC) Currently under construction on Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory Campus, Campinas/SP, Sirius is a 3GeV, 4th Generation Synchrotron Light Source. In this paper we describe the Front End that has been designed to transmit the intense synchrotron radiation generated by the insertion devices that will generate the most critical thermal stress, with a peak power density of 55.7 kW/mrad² and a total power of 9.3kW at 500mA in the storage ring. The functions of the main components and their location in the layout are described. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural simulations, that have been carried out to verify the performance under the high heat loads generated by Sirius, are also detailed along with the limits of temperature and stress that have been employed in the design. |

WEPE07 | A High Heat Load Front-End for the Superconducting Wiggler Beamline at SSRF | ion, SRF, photon, vacuum | 327 |
|
|||
A superconducting wiggler (SCW) will be first employed to generate high energy X-rays for ultra-hard X-ray applications beamline at Shanghai synchrotron radiation facility (SSRF). The front-end will handle a heat load of 44.7 kW with a peak power density of 45 kW/mrad², which is much higher than the commissioned ones at SSRF. Overall design of the high heat load front-end has been completed, including one short absorber with a length of 300 mm and three long absorbers longer than 500 mm. Long absorbers have been designed to be made by medium speed wire-cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM-MS) or electron beam welding (EBW). Thermal analyses of all absorbers have also been done to comply with the failure criteria of SSRF. | |||

WEPE10 | Mechanical Design of Pulse-by-Pulse X-Ray Beam Position Monitor Using Diamond Heat Sink | ion, detector, cathode, synchrotron-radiation | 333 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was partly supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science through a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(c), No.20416374. The pulse-by-pulse X-ray beam monitor equipped with microstripline structure had been developed at SPring-8. This monitor has a potential to function as (1) a pulse intensity monitor, (2) a pulse-by-pulse X-ray beam position monitor (XBPM), and (3) a pulse timing monitor. In insertion device beamlines, however, it cannot be used without further improvement because of heat-resistance problem. Therefore, we examined a pulse-by-pulse XBPM for insertion device beamlines by introducing heat resistance structure, which employed a diamond heat sink. Thermal finite element analysis was carried out to design an effective structure of a detector head and the holder. Evaluation tests of the prototype will be also presented in this contribution. |

WEPE18 | APS 2-ID Beamline, Upgrade to Canted Configuration | ion, photon, synchrotron, undulator | 342 |
|
|||
Funding: Work at the Advanced Photon Source is supported by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. To provide independent operation of the two 2-ID beamline experimental stations, a new canted beamline design is being developed. The constraint of keeping the existing front end limits the canting angle. The optimal canting angle was determined to be 400 urad and is achieved by using a permanent magnet. A coil is added to the canting magnet to provide a steering adjustment of maxi-mum 40 to 50 urad. In order to increase the beam separation as well as to provide power filtering and higher harmonics rejection for the downstream optics, a dual mirror system with focusing capability is used as the first optic at approximately 28 m from the center of the straight section. The inboard mirror (2.6 mrad) reflects the inboard beam outboard while the outboard mirror (4.1 mrad) reflects the outboard beam inboard. The beam presented to the dual mirror system is defined by two 1 mm x 1 mm apertures. The maximum power absorbed by each mirror is 200 W. Two vertically deflecting monochromators with minimum offset of 17 mm are located in the First Optical Enclosure on the outboard branch. The monochromator for the inboard branch is located in the corresponding experimental station. |

WEPE24 | Live Animal Imaging Program at Bio-Medical Imaging and Therapy Facility at the Canadian Light Source | ion, experiment, controls, synchrotron | 348 |
|
|||
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. | |||

THAA02 | Mechanical Engineering of a Cryo STXM at CLS | ion, vacuum, laser, cryogenics | 381 |
|
|||
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. | |||

FRBA03 | Design of the Diamond Light Source DMM for the VMXi Beamline | ion, vacuum, optics, GUI | 420 |
|
|||
A Double Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house for the VMXi beam-line. This paper describes the novel engineering solutions employed to build a high stability instrument. PiezoMotor® actuators drive sine-arm Bragg axes for both optics providing the coarse and fine motion in a single actuator. The long translation of the second multilayer is driven externally via a linear shift to eliminate in-vacuum pipe & cable motions. A high stability air bearing translates the whole DMM across the two multilayer stripes. The optics are water cooled via an Indium / Gallium eutectic alloy bath to minimise coupled vibrations. The DMM is operational on the VMXi beam-line, experimental and performance data is presented. | |||
