For the first time in the Synchrotron or FEL beamlines, the large bending needed to focus the beam will be coupled with a direct cooling system, since almost the entire FEL power is de-livered through the optics to the sample. While cooling and bending the mirror, height errors shall be preserved below one nanometer RMS, to not distort the wavefront of the coherent FEL beam. This has required an extensive study of the mechanical properties of the thermal interface material, Gallium Indium (GaIn). Aside from the challenges introduced by the cooling, the mechanical requirements of the bender have resulted in an extensive design effort. This effort has yielded a prototype system that has been tested to validate our design decisions, and the FEA models of the system. In this paper, the key design elements of the bendable mirror system will be reviewed. We then discuss FEA models of the system and the expected performance. This is followed by results from laboratory tests and comparison to simulations. We finalize with the design changes and future work. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
