  For the next beamline, we will profit from the experience of the U15 undulator development, but there are new requirements, because it will be a polarized undulator with a period of 38mm. We are developing a new arrangement of the drives, a further development of the magnet keepers and a vacuumpipe with only 0.2mm of wall thickness. A rough overview was given at Medsi 2016, together with the talk of the U15 Undulator. Meentime, the UE38 is in production and the talk will present the actual status and the lessons we learned during development and the fabrication: - Realization of vacuumchamber with 0.2mm wall thickness - Supportstructure for the vacuumchamber - Precision of manufacturing - Precision of assembling - Design of Magnetkeeper: Differential screw, forces, stiffness

  The European-XFEL X-Ray laser facility is located in Hamburg. Since its commissioning in September 2017, this large X-ray laser opens new research opportunities for industrial users and scientists. For many beam diagnostic devices ultra-high vacuum components with high mechanical precision and additional strict requirements on particle cleanliness were produced. A vacuum chamber for the bunch compressor (BC) with a cross section of 400 mm*40.5 mm made of stainless steel blocks 1.4429 (316 LN) has been installed. These chambers have inte-grated flange-connections for large VATSEAL® gaskets. The tolerances for these flanges are extremely tight to ensure save vacuum tight sealing. This contribution will report of a new technology for such large rectangular or other large flange surfaces. Furthermore this contribution will compare the present with this new technology. This new technology can be used as well for other vacuum flange metals like alumini-um or titanium. Using of this technology for applications under special conditions, like particle free applications due to the non-lubricated conditions, are conceivable.

WEOAMA03 High-Accuracy Small Roll Angle Measurement Method Based on Dual-Grating Diffraction Heterodyne Interferometer GUI, experiment, real-time, radiation 163

Small roll angle (ROLL) is an crucial parameter for the motion performances of ultra-precision guide way often applied in fine mechanics and instruments of synchrotron radiation, such as long trace profiler (LTP). However, it is difficult to be measured by conventional methods including interferometer and autocollimator owing to their low sensitivities in axial direction. There is an orthogonal dilemma between measured direction and angular displacement plane for ROLL measurement. Therefore, a novel method based on dual-grating diffraction heterodyne interferometer is presented, which uses the combining scheme of diffraction grating and heterodyne interferometer to overcome the orthogonal problem. Moreover, the design of differential structure with dual-grating and grating interferometer instead of pure interferometer, is adopted to improve the practicability against the environment, e. g. air fluctuation, inconstant rotation center. It has inherited advantages of high-resolution up to 2nrad, high sampling rate up to 50kHz, and contactless by mathematical modeling and analysis. So, theoretcial and experimental verifications are both implemented to its validation.

WEOAMA05 FE Model of a Nanopositioning Flexure Stage for Diagnosis of Trajectory Errors experiment, photon, simulation, interface 179

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade project includes upgrading several beamlines, which desire nanopositioning and fly-scan capabilities. A step towards achieving this is through the use of flexure stages with minimal trajectory errors. Typically, parasitic motion is on the order of micrometer-level displacements and tens of microradian-level rotations [1]. The cause of such errors is difficult to diagnosis due to the scale and complexity of the overall mechanism. Therefore, an FE model of a flexure pivot nanopositioning stage with centimeter-level travel range [1, 2] has been developed to aid in trajectory error diagnosis. Previous work used an FE model and relative error analysis to quantify the effects of assembly error on trajectory errors [3]. Relative error analysis was used due to the difficulty in validating a complex FE model. This study develops an experimentally validated FE model of a single joint to quantify the expected error in the full FE model. The full model is then compared experimentally to the flexure stage to assess the model accuracy and diagnosis trajectory errors.

  There is an increasingly critical demand on the angular stability of double crystal monochromator (DCM). This work focuses on a method to measure angular vibration directly at the DCM crystals using a dual-frequency interferometer. This method was applied to the off-line test of a newly developed cryocooled DCM at Shanghai Syn-chrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), which can obtain a resolution of 8 nrad. The DCM was then tested on the X-ray Test Line. Both off-line and on-line results were referenced for DCM structure optimizations. In this paper, the DCM angular stability measuring method is presented, and detailed information of the results are shown.

  Synchrotrons need robust products. That is why the association of piezo actuator technology and CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES (CTEC) know-how has been successful for synchrotron mechanisms projects. The technological brick is the "Amplified Piezo Actuator" (APA®) tested and widely used in space applications, it is often implemented in CTEC piezo mechanisms and provides a high level of robustness. Modifying the layout and the number of APA® allows several needs to be addressed within beamlines. Three applications developed in collaboration with the EMBL, PAL and SOLEIL will be presented in this paper. The first application consists of cutting a beam with a piezo shutter. The maximum beam diameter is 3 mm. The second mechanism allows the energy of a beam to be modified by using a series of piezo actuated filters. And the last mechanism aims at modifying the beam section shape with an active piezo micro-slits mechanism.

Cooling of in-vacuum beamline components has always been problematic. Water cooling lines can transfer vibrations to critical components, and often require complex air guarding systems to ensure that the vacuum envelope is not breached in the event of a leak. These constraints increase design complexity, limit options, and provide challenges for assembly and maintenance. Commercial heat pipes are inexpensive and readily available. Custom assemblies can be fabricated into vacuum flanges and may use non-water based cooling mediums if required. A mockup of an optical assembly has been used to explore vibration reduction and cooling capacity. Other example beamline components such as a heat generating electromagnetic shutter demonstrate the cooling capability of these heat pipes.

  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

  The unique capabilities of LCLS, the world's first hard X-ray FEL, have had significant impact on advancing our understanding across a broad range of science. LCLS-II, a major upgrade of LCLS, is being developed as a high-repetition rate X-ray laser with two simultaneously operating FELs. It features a 4 GeV continuous wave superconducting Linac capable of producing ultrafast X-ray laser pulses at a repetition rate up to 1 MHz and energy range from 0.25 to 5 keV. The LCLS-II upgrade is an enormous engineering challenge not only on the accelerator side but also for safety, machine protection devices and diagnostic units. A major part of the beam containment is covered by the FEL beam collimators. The current collimator design is no longer suitable for the high power densities of the upcoming LCLS-II beam. Therefore, a complete new design has been conceived to satisfy this new constrains. Moreover, a special FEL miss-steering detection system based on a photo diodes array has been designed as an integral part of the photon collimator as additional safety feature. This poster describes the new LCLS-II FEL Collimators, their mechanical design and challenges encountered.

  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.

  SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is developing LCLS-II, a superconducting linear accelerator based FEL capable of repetition rates up to 1MHz. The NEH2.2 Instrument at LCLS-II will use this combination of exceptionally high flux of monochromatic photons to achieve multidimensional and coherent X-ray techniques that are possible only with X-ray lasers. The challenges, which emanate from delivering the beam from the sub-basement level to the basement of the Near Experimental Hall (NEH) along with the stringent requirements for providing a stable beam at the interaction points, necessitate unique engineering solutions. With this paper we present the conceptual design for the NEH2.2 Instrument along with an overview of the R&D program required to validate design performance. Furthermore, it will additionally show the design of the proposed Liquid Jet Endstation (LJE) and Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Endstation (RIXS) that will be installed on the beamline. After introducing the context and layout of the beamline, this paper will focus on the technical challenges and present the mechanical design solutions adopted for beam delivery and other strategic components.
