WEPH03 | Design of New Beam Instrumentation for the ISOLDE Isotope Separator at CERN | ISOL, vacuum, instrumentation, electron | 205 |
|
|||
The ISOLDE radioactive ion beam separator facility at CERN produces beams of short-lived isotopes for experiments in physics, material and medical science. New requirements for more precise measurement of profile, position and intensity has pushed the CERN beam instrumentation group to start the study of a new generation of ISOLDE beam instrumentation dedicated to the specific needs of this facility. This paper will describe the design and the development of a number of new ISOLDE instruments with the aim of achieving better performance, increased reliability and to facilitate maintenance in the radioactive environment. It will explain how modern technologies (i.e. magnetically coupled push pull, 3D additive machining) have been used to make a modern, precise and reliable beam instrumentation design. | |||

WEPH12 | Thermo-Mechanical Aspects of the MOBIPIX, a Compact X-Ray Imaging System with Embedded GPU | simulation, electron, detector, synchrotron | 223 |
|
|||
Funding: The MOBIPIX project is part of Sirius project funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications. In the light of the high brilliance fourth generation syn-chrotron light sources, real-time imaging techniques be-came possible, boosting the demand for fast and reliable detectors. Mobipix project is a compact X-ray imaging camera based on Medipix3RX* ASIC designed for Sirius**. The control and acquisition system uses Sys-tem-On-a-Chip technology with embedded GPUs where data processing algorithms will run in real time. The Mobipix X-ray detector is de-signed to perform as a video camera, enabling X-ray imaging experiments and beam diagnose, at thousands of frames per second, without external computers. This paper presents the development of the Mobipix detector mechanics. The authors describe the path taken to design the structural aspects, ensuring robustness and versatility in the device installation to the beamlines, and the thermal aspects, regarding forced air cooling, high heat density, and small volume through which the flow will occur. The latter aspects were developed by exploiting CFD modelling. The Mobipix has 28 x 28 mm² active area, composed by 260k pixels of 55 x 55 'm2, and is planned to achieve continuous readout up to 2000 FPS. * LNLS is a member of CERN Medipix3 Collaboration. https://medipix.web.cern.ch/collaboration/medipix3-collaboration ** Sirius is the new Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source under construction |

THPH17 | NCD-SWEET Beamline Upgrade | detector, optics, experiment, controls | 374 |
|
|||
The SAXS/WAXS Experimental End sTation (NCD-SWEET) at ALBA Synchrotron has undergone major improvements in three main areas, beam performance, SAXS detector data quality and beamline operability, in order to perform state-of-the-art SAXS/WAXS experi-ments. A new channel-cut monochromator system has improved the beam quality and stability, with current vibration amplitudes under 1% of the beam size. Two sets of refractive beryllium lenses have been installed for focussing the beam. One of the sets allows to microfocus the beam size. Besides this, the former SAXS CCD detector has been replaced by a single-photon counting pixel detector, a Piltatus3 S 1M. In the end station, a full re-design of the mechanical elements with sub-micron resolution movements together with the installation of new equipment has been completed, resulting in an improved beamline configuration, and a faster and safer rearrangement of the flight tube length. New upgraded configuration also allows for GISAXS experiments. Finally, other auxiliary improvements have been done in areas like radiation protection, air conditioning, health and safety, cable management, electronics and control. | |||

THPH18 | A Multi-sample Holder for the MSPD Beamline at ALBA | operation, GUI, synchrotron, interface | 377 |
|
|||
At the high resolution powder diffraction end station of the Materials Science and Powder Diffraction (MSPD) beamline at ALBA Synchrotron, several samples are measured on a daily basis. Thus, an automatic sample exchanger is a great asset to the beamline, permitting a more efficient use of beam time. Even if a robot arm is the more suitable option for a sample exchanger device, in terms of cost, compactness and versatility MSPD needs another approach. ALBA engineering division has developed a multi-sample holder that allows the loading of up to eight samples and exchanging between them with a resolution of less than a micron. This new design consists of a customized and motorized linear stage that has been designed to fit into the present three-circles diffractometer, on top of the positioning stages, avoiding any possible collision with the Eulerian cradle. In addition, this new holder permits the use of different types of samples like capillaries in fast spinners, coin cell batteries and electrochemical cells. Finally, the system is compatible with the usual sample conditioning equipment on the end station such as the hot blower, cryostream, beamstop, chiller, etc. | |||
