Superbend upgrade on the Advanced Light Source

Abstract: The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a third generation synchrotron light source located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). There was an increasing demand at the ALS for additional high brightness hard x-ray beamlines in the 7 to 40 keV range. In response to that demand, the ALS storage ring was modified in

“…To achieve sufficient X-ray flux for informative scattering with low protein concentration and small volumes, we designed the SIBYLS beamline at the Advanced Light Source. We employ a light path generated by a super-bend 20 magnet to provide a 10 12 photons/sec flux (1 Å wavelength). The tunable incident wavelength enables rapid adjustment of the q range appropriate for the experiment without changing the sample to detector configuration ( q=4 π sin (θ / 2 )/λ where θ is the scattering angle and λ is the wavelength).…”

“…Machine protection interlocks typically include beam loss monitoring and beam abort systems. For almost as long, but mostly in the past 10-12 years, superconducting magnets-SCUs [10,11], wigglers [23], and superbends [24]-have been employed for the generation of high-energy photons in electron synchrotron light sources. While all superconducting wigglers and SCUs have quench-detection interlocks to protect the magnet, very little has been written about characterizing and preventing beam-loss induced quenches.…”

“…Furthermore, the local field enhancement will shift the critical energy towards higher values and satisfy the requirements of the hard x-ray user community [11][12][13][14]. These features were the main motivations for the ILSF to employ such step function dipoles (superbends) as the very interesting components for the compact high brightness light sources [10,[27][28][29].…”

“…Because of the smaller electron beam spot size, the superbends make available higher flux density than a wiggler, which is desirable from a scientific point of view. The total radiation power of the superbend beam line is significantly smaller than the wiggler beam line, which results to save energy [10]. Furthermore, the longitudinal field gradient provided by the superbend helps beam emittance reduction [11][12][13][14].…”
