LCLS NEH Floor Thermal Deformation and Mitigation Plan | |
|
||
The key features of LCLS-II upgrade are the high repetition rate up to 1 MHz, and two variable-gap undulators (SXR and HXR). To take the advantages of this major upgrade, LCLS, SLAC is designing and building new soft and tender X-ray beamlines (TMO, TXI, RIXS, XPP). The laser pump FEL probe, or SXR FEL pump HXR probe experiments need sub-micron stability in a time range from 5 ms to a few hours. Dynamically bendable KB mirror can focus X-ray beam down to 300 nm. The overlap of the pump laser (or FEL), probe FEL beam and sample is challenging. Some measurements on vibration and long term stability have been carried out on the floor in the Near Experimental Hall (NEH) to host the new beamlines. The vibration displacement in the frequency range of 1 to 200 Hz is at the level of 25 nm. The floor deformation over hours and days measured by HLS and interferometer, however, show tens micro-meters displacement variation. This huge floor deformation is incompatible with the stability requirement. In this paper, we will present the simulation of the whole NEH building, comparison with measurement results, describe mitigation plan and predict the performance. | ||

THPH06 | TMO - a New Soft X-Ray Beamline at LCLS II | 349 |
|
||
LCLS is building 4 new soft X-ray beamlines with the LCLS-II upgrade. The TMO (Time resolved Molecular Optical science) beamline aka NEH 1.1 will support many ex-perimental techniques not currently available at LCLS. The beamline hinges around 2 main end stations, LAMP a multi configurable end station and DREAM, dedicated to COLTRIM type of experimentation. Both the existing LAMP as well as the newly built DREAM end-station will be configured to take full advantage of both the high per pulse energy from the copper accelerator (120 Hz) as well as high average intensity and high repetition rate (up to 100 kHz) from the superconducting accelera-tor. Each end station will have its own focusing optic systems (KB Mirrors) which can focus the beam down to 300 nm, and have laser pump probe experiments capability. Very demanding requirements for IR and X-ray overlap as well as beam stability, make the TMO beamline a major engineering challenge. The main components of the beamline (KB optics, DREAM end stations and diagnostics components) are built on granite stands. The building struc-ture is being reviewed for thermal stability. First light on TMO is expected in February 2020 | ||

THPH21 | DREAM - A New Soft X-ray (Dynamic REAction Microscopy) COLTRIMS Endstation at LCLS-II | 382 |
|
||
SLAC is building new soft X-ray beamlines to take advantage of the LCLS-II upgrade to 1 MHz. One of the new beamlines is called TMO (Time resolved Molecular Optical science) also known as NEH 1.1. It will be a soft X-ray beamline featuring a sub-micron X-ray focus at its second, most downstream interaction region where the DREAM COLTRIMS (COld Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy) endstation will be situated. DREAM will feature; large magnetic coils to provide a strong uniform magnetic field through the spectrometer, rigid in-vacuum laser in- & out-coupling optics decoupled from the chamber support stand for pump-probe experiments, a multi-stage differentially pumped gas jet with catcher, insertable diagnostics, a long-distance microscope, scatter slits, a steerable gas jet, jet slits, and an adjustable stand to bias the spectrometer off-center from the interaction region. In order to achieve a spot overlap spec of 0.5 um; the KB mirrors, laser optics, & beam position diagnostics all sit on a common granite support structure to minimize mechanical vibrations and thermal drifts. An in-vacuum UHV hexapod will be utilized for fine positioning of the laser in-coupling optic. | ||
