ALS superbend magnet performance

Abstract

been engaged in the design, construction and testing of four superconducting dipoles (Superbends) that are installed in three arcs of the Advanced Light Source (ALS), with the fourth magnet as a spare. This represents a major upgrade to the ALS providing an enhanced flux and brightness at photon energies above 10 keV. In preparation for installation, an extensive set of tests and measurements have been conducted to characterize the magnetic and cryogenic performance of the Superbends and to fiducialize them for accurate placement in the ALS storage ring. The magnets are currently installed, and the storage ring is undergoing final commissioning. This paper will present the results of magnetic and cryogenic testing.

Magnets for Low-Emittance Storage Rings an Overview

“…SUPERBENDS Superbends allow providing users with synchrotron radiation at a higher peak than the average dipole provides: e.g. ALS operated such magnets [53], [54] and BESSY II built and tested a 9 Tesla superbend [55].…”
