The Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade from double-bend achromats (DBA) to multi-bend achromats (MBA) lattice has increased the need for reliable diagnos-tic systems. This upgrade will decrease the size of the photon beam drastically and beam current will be in-creased from 100 mA to 200 mA. The small beam and intense heat loads provided by the upgraded APS requires unique and innovative approaches to beam position monitoring. To meet the need for a reliable diagnostic system for the APS upgrade, the next generation X-ray Beam Position Monitoring System (XBPM) is required which includes the first XBPM (XBPM1), the Intensity Monitor (IM1) and the second XBPM (XBPM2). This paper presents progress and status of the current configu-ration of the XBPM system especially the development work involving the IM1 and XBPM2. The R&D work to develop an alternative XBPM1 using the Compton scattering principle is also presented.

  A family of reconfigurable devices able to work in synchrotron applications, especially in diffractometer environments has been developed. It can provide six (6) or less than six (<6) degrees of freedom (dof) motion capabilities (F<=6) being able to pose a heavy load sample (instruments) with high precision towards an X-ray coming beam. It is based on the Parallel Kinematics (PK) Quatropod concept with redundant actuation (Rd=2) and were built around the fully (F=6dof) basic topology 6-4(213) where 2-actuated and 1, 3-passive joints, respectively. By altering the passive joints dof, structures with less than six dof (F<6) can be obtained, e.g. 5-4[213(2)]/F=5, 4-4[213(1)]/F=4, 3-4[213(0)]/F=3 (3(2) and 3(1)and 3(0) stand for 3dof joint with constrained(less) dof - f=2, 1 or 0/blocked). For a perfect symmetric arrangement and using only P and S (P-prismatic, S-spherical) joints, several useful positioning mechanisms are presented. And, in the design phase, 2dof linear actuators(2P), e.g. XY stages have been proved to be a suitable choice, too.

  The Coherent X-ray Scattering (CXS) beamline at Taiwan Photon Source has been completely constructed in the end of 2015 and opened for users in the next half year of 2016 successfully. Two In-vacuum Undulators (IU22) with lengths of 3 m and 2 m were used as the Insertion Device (ID) to provide intense synchrotron radiation for the CXS beamline. To achieve the coherent performance, the setup of components in the beamline needs to be considered and designed carefully. As no white-beam diamond window was installed in the upstream beamline for the maintenance of coherent beam, a differential pumping mechanism was evaluated to prevent the worse vacuum condition influencing the front end and the storage ring. A single-crystal diamond filter was also adopted to maintain the coherence of x-ray. The protection of bremsstrahlung radiation for this beamline was designed specifically based on the optical layout. This paper will introduce the detailed mechanical design and current status for the CXS beamline.

THOAMA04 Design and FEA of an Innovative Rotating Sic Filter for High-Energy X-Ray Beam radiation, simulation, interface, storage-ring 306

  I12 is a high-energy imaging, diffraction and scattering beamline at Diamond. Its source is a superconducting wiggler with a power of approximately 9kW at 500 mA after the fixed front-end aperture; two permanent filters aim at reducing the power in photons below the operating range of the beamline of 50-150 keV, which accounts for about two-thirds of the total*. This paper focuses on the design and simulation process of the secondary permanent filter, a 4mm thick SiC disk. The first version of the filter was vulnerable to cracking due to thermally induced stress, so a new filter based on an innovative concept was proposed: a water-cooled shaft rotates, via a ceramic interface, the SiC disk; the disk operates up to 900 degrees C, and a copper absorber surrounding the filter dissipates the heat through radiation. We utilised analysis data following failure of an initial prototype to successfully model the heat flow using FEA. This model informed different iterations of the re-design of the assembly, addressing the issues identified. The operational temperature of the final product matches within a few degrees C the one predicted by the simulation.

THOPMA04 A New Procurement Strategy to Challenge the Supplier Constraints Created When Using a Fully Developed Reference Design detector, lattice, optics, SRF 327

  A common procurement strategy is to produce a fully optimised reference design that makes assumptions about the manufacturing process and supplier capability. This approach can restrict the opportunities for some companies to include their own specialist manufacturing capability to provide a more effective and cost efficient solution. A new approach is suggested following the recent experience at Diamond Light Source. The manufacture of high stiffness welded fabrications up to 13m in length for the I21 RIXS Spectrometer is used as an example. The I21 RIXS Spectrometer design was optimised for stiffness and control of vibration. The use of Finite Element Analysis enabled different design options and compromises to be explored utilising the supplier's capabilities. The final design was tested during manufacture to verify the FEA model. With the I21 RIXS Spectrometer commissioned the data collected shows the final stability performance of the system including detector stability over full experiment durations has met the scientific goals of the design.

  The project to upgrade the I16 polarisation analyser was necessary to increase its functionality and to introduce a more robust construction. The requirement that the analyser was to be mounted on a diffractometer meant the construction needed to be as lightweight and as compact as possible. This provided opportunities to explore new collaborative ways of working with both in-house and external suppliers. The paper describes the approach taken to develop lightweight aluminium vacuum chambers working with a company specialising in additive layer manufacturing. In addition, the design of lightweight and compact slit assemblies are detailed; these were developed in collaboration with a supplier of driven linear stages. A novel requirement for the analyser is to have a detector mounted on a rotation axis in vacuum. The results of working with the in-house detector group to develop a design to with all the necessary thermal and electrical connections are described. The paper also describes further use of additive layer manufacturing to produce prototypes that allows the design of a cable management system to be optimised where previously using 3d CAD models had proved unsatisfactory.

  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.

  A high energy x-ray (HEX) beamline facility will be constructed at NSLS-II for R&D in energy storage tech-nologies using different x-ray imaging techniques. A 4.3 Tesla superconducting wiggler will be used to produced x-rays of total power of approximately 56 kW in 8 keV ' 200 keV range. The nominal horizontal fan of ~ 10 mrad will be split into three closely spaced beams of 0.2 mrad, 1.0 mrad and 0.2 mrad fans. Each beam is required to have a frontend slit with four distinct apertures. The conventional L-shape design of the slit is not feasible for these closely spaced beams because of constraints on side cooling and horizontal travel of the slits. In this paper we propose two solutions for these slits using a beam pass-through design, vertical-only travel and optimized cooling configurations.
