Status of the ESRF EBS Storage Ring Engineering and Construction | |
|
||
In the frame of its Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade, the ESRF is preparing the replacement of its existing storage ring by a new ring based on a 7-bend achromat lattice enabling to reduce the electron beam horizontal emittance by a factor 30. The project involves challenging engineering requirements due to the large number of magnets, space constraints and specified geometrical precision. In order to validate the feasibility of this very compact assembly with real parts, a Mock-up of a complete EBS cell was assembled in 2017. The preparation of fully equipped girders with all components assembled, aligned and tested was started in October 2017 and is progressing as a rate of 3 per week. The main technical achievements and issues encountered during manufacturing of magnets, girders, chambers and absorbers will be presented, together with an outline of the planned dismantling and installation phases, scheduled from December 2018. This presentation is given on behalf of the ESRF EBS engineering team: J-C Biasci, J Borrel, T Brochard, F Cianciosi, D Coulon, Y Dabin, L Eybert, L Goirand, M Lesourd, N Louis, T Mairs, B Ogier, J Pasquaud, P Van Vaerenbergh, F Villar. | ||

TUOPMA07 | RF Fingers for the New ESRF-EBS Storage Ring | 11 |
|
||
In the new ESRF-EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source) storage ring vacuum chambers assembly, with a reduced aperture and the new omega shape, RF fingers are a key component to ensure good vacuum conditions and reach the best possible machine performance. As a result, dedicated efforts were put into producing a more compact more robust more reliable and easier to assemble RF finger design for the new machine. The work was done in parallel on the beam coupling impedance reduction, which have a direct impact on the electron beam lifetime, and on the mechanical aspect with FEA validation and geometry optimization. Many test have been made, in a mechanical laboratory, including high resolution 3D computed tomography images in order to measure the electrical contact, and also in the existing ESRF storage ring with the electron beam, to validate the final design before launching the series production | ||

TUPH08 | Aluminium and Bimetallic Vacuum Chambers for the New ESRF Storage Ring (EBS) | 36 |
|
||
The ESRF is proceeding with the design and procurement of its new low emittance storage ring EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source project). This completely new storage ring requires a new vacuum system including UHV chambers with complex shape and strict geometrical and dimensional tolerances. In order to meet these requirements we decided to build about half of the chambers in aluminum alloy machined from the bulk, the only technology permitting to respect the requirements. The result are 128 chambers, 2.5m long, built in alloy 2219 with Conflat flanges custom made from the chamber supplier by explosion bonding. The production phase is nearly finished, the produced chambers satisfy completely the expectations. A second generation of experimental aluminum chambers was designed as a substitution of some steel ones in order to solve same geometrical difficulties. These chambers are very complex as they have steel-aluminum junctions in the body in order to accommodate bellows and beam position monitor buttons. The delivery of the first prototype of this type of chamber is previewed for June 2018. | ||

TUPH35 | Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers for the EBS Storage Ring | 118 |
|
||
The upgrade of the ESRF (ESRF-EBS) is a highly challenging project in many respects. One major challenge is to manufacture vacuum chambers within extremely tight tolerances. Indeed the chamber envelope is constrained by the very limited space available between the beam stay clear and the magnets pole tips, requiring profile tolerances of just 500 um over the full length of the chamber for a width of 55 mm. An additional challenge is guaranteeing the perpendicularity (up to 0.75 mrad) between the CF flanges and the chamber body. While a design using discrete removable absorbers was chosen, one family of chambers contains a distributed absorber required to protect the insertion devices from 600 W of upstream dipole X-rays. Two companies have been selected to produce a total of 296 stainless steel chambers. Given the unusual tolerance requirements, the manufacturers have been obliged to adapt and develop their production techniques to overcome the challenges. During manufacture, vacuum leaks were discovered on some of the BPM buttons. This paper will also present the two techniques that ESRF has developed in order to prevent the integration of potentially leaking buttons. | ||
