LCLS – Familiar Design Challenges

• High-quality undulator magnetic fields• Magnetic tuning for phase errors and trajectory

straightness• Variable and fixed gaps• Phasing undulator ends• Magnetic design

- NdFeB magnets- Vanadium permendur poles- 30-mm period - K=3.63 so Beff=1.296 T

Between APS insertion devices and the LEUTL FEL, the APS team has a lot of undulator experience with:

Magnetic Design

Standard undulator design considerations:

• Maximize the field• Don’t demagnetize the magnets• Don’t oversaturate the poles



of Energy

Magnetic Design (2)

- Chose a new grade of magnet with higher coercivity (N39SH) for the prototype

- Attention to minimizing the demagnetizing field

- Design goal to be as restrictive as usual on the demagnetizing field, maybe even at the cost of higher pole saturation, then use the high Hc magnets

Prevent Radiation Damage

New Challenges – Uniformity and Stability

Achieving a field-strength uniformity of 1.5 x 10-4 along the undulator line is a challenge

- Gap change of 1.4 microns- Vertical shift ~ 50 microns- Temperature coefficient of the magnet is 0.1%/°C- Thermal expansion

And there may be a desire to taper in the future

Mechanical Design



of Energy

Mechanical Design Features1. Housing is made from a forged Ti bar

2. Ti was preferred over other materials because:

• Nonmagnetic

• Low thermal expansion

• Long-term stability

• Rigidity to density ratio for minimal deflection

3. Al baseplate provides partial thermal compensation

4. Open on one side for magnetic measurement access and shimming

Titanium Strongback



of Energy

Mechanical design features, cont.

Shims and push-pull screws adjust the gap.

Magnets are clamped from only one side.

Magnetic side shims. Steel bars approach side of pole. Correction up to ~3% in field.



of Energy

Pole clamping

Poles have titanium wings, and are clamped on both sides



of Energy

Pole simplification now under consideration

Eliminate the wings and screw

the pole in from the bottom.

Still being refined; will be used in a segment of the prototype and

reviewed.

Assembly - Magnet Sorting

Magnets were sorted by strength (Total Moment), then the strongest and the weakest were matched together.

Very important – saved lots of time since we found we could use this vendor’s measurements “as is” for sorting; not all vendors routinely make these measurements.

Single Magnets

Matched Pairs



of Energy

Assembly - pole sortingAfter magnet sorting, the main contributor to field errors was pole height variation.

Tall and short poles were paired, and RMS deviation in gap was reduced from 6.3 to 2.4 microns

After sorting:But this pairing neglected the contribution of the Al base plate thickness, and variation due to the attachment to the Ti. Final gap variation was ±50 microns.

Note – Put tighter tolerances on the Al baseplate for production



of Energy

Magnetic Tuning

Nonetheless, the device met the trajectory straightness requirement (±2 micron) without tuning.

After tuning, the wiggle-averaged trajectory was within a range of about 0.5 microns.



of Energy

Phase Error TuningThe calculated spontaneous emission amplitude needed tuning to raise it from 93% to over 99% of ideal.

(The rms phase error decreased from 11.2° to 6.5°.)



of Energy

Temperature Dependence

Care must be taken in the measurements to allow the undulator sufficient thermal equilibration time

Also need to correct for temperature dependence of the Hall probe: (Beff/Beff)/T = -5.5 x 10-4 /°C

of Energy

Post-prototype Considerations

• End phase adjustments- Piezos long-term stability for this application is untested

• Adjustment to final gap has not yet been done, but can do this with the cant anyway.

• Assume temperature dependence is handled by the conventional facilities specifications.



of Energy

Radiation Damage – Post-prototype

• Had considered using SmCo magnets- Better radiation resistance- Smaller decrease in strength with temperature rise- But overall weaker strength and more brittle- Ruled out based on schedule – no time for R&D.

• Instead, take advantage of APS radiation exposure and damage experience at the APS.

• Provide dose limit guidance and information to SLAC to be used as input into the undulator protection system.

• Do not operate LCLS under conditions likely to result in damage to the undulators.



of Energy

Post-prototype, cont.• A comb shunt for adjusting the field strength was proposed• Initial tests look promising, but added design complexity;

(remote capability - considerable added design complexity)• Also a possibility for end phase correction only

Canting The Gap

• A scheme ( thanks to J. Pflueger) of canting the poles so that field strength varies with lateral (horizontal) position was very promising.

• A test section was “canted” and measured with excellent results. Canting was adopted into the baseline.

Section with

Wedged

Shims



of Energy

• Measured slope of 6.6 Gauss/mm agrees with calculations (~ 5.7 Gauss/mm for 3 mrad cant).

• Alignment accuracy needed for B/B ~ 1.5x10-4 ~ 2 Gauss -> 0.3 mm

Effective Magnetic Field



of Energy

RMS Phase Error

• No significant dependency on X• An RMS phase error of ~ 6.5 degree is an upper limit for

near-perfect (~100%) performance.



of Energy

Horizontal Trajectory (averaged over period length) at 14.1 GeV

• Trajectory vs. X well behaved and well within the tolerance requirement of 2 m maximum walk-off from a straight line.

• Operational range is ±1.2 mm for ±1.0°C temperature compensation.



of Energy

Fringe Fields at X=65 and 100 mm

• Fringe fields with new shims are close to earth field for X=100 mm. (Earth field contribution to trajectory shift has to be corrected.)



of Energy

Fine adjustment of effective magnetic field(Isaac’s field-tuning procedure )1. Select spacers with thickness step ~ 15 µm to set the

effective field in the range of ±30 Gauss (1 µm in gap corresponds to ~ 2 Gauss in field).

2. Set spacer horizontal position to adjust the effective field to ~ ±6 Gauss (spacers are wedged with 3 m/mm cant)

3. Set horizontal position of the undulator as a whole so the effective field is in the range ±2 Gauss (B/B ~ ±1.5x10-4) (This step saves time and provides better accuracy)

4. The undulator horizontal position could be remotely controlled during operation to compensate for in-tunnel temperature variations (motion of ±1.2 mm for ±1°C needed). Such option is available, if quadrupoles are separated from undulator sections.



of Energy

Magnetic needles for alignment

• Only one needle is required for alignment in the X direction• One more needle has to be added at Y=0 for alignment in the Y

direction

Scope and Plans – Undulator Systems

• 33 Precision magnetic arrays with canted poles• 33 Support/alignment systems including:

- Cradle that supports the undulator, BPM, and quadrupole magnet.

- Precision CAM movers and motors enabling positioning, alignment, and adjustment of the cradle.

- Rail system to move the undulator, facilitating manual retraction of an undulator out of the beamline and precision reproducible re-insertion.

• 7 Spare Undulator Modules • 1 Undulator Transport Device for Installation



of Energy

Plan – Undulators (1)

• To meet schedule and funding profiles, and to ensure that the Undulator Systems are complete by July 2007, we plan to procure the following long-lead items as early as possible in FY05:

- Precision-machined titanium strongbacks- NdFeB Magnet blocks- Vanadium Permendur Magnet poles

• The same APS undulator experts, who were relied upon for design, construction, and assessment of the prototype, will finalize procurement packages for the LL items, in accordance with our Advance Procurement Plans [APP].



of Energy

Scope – Quadrupole Magnet Systems

• 33 Quadrupole Magnet Systems - installed- Permanent Magnet Quadrupole- Support with Precision Translator [settable to 5 um;

readout to 1um]

• 5 Spare Magnet Systems

• Separate steering is not included



of Energy

Summary• A full-scale prototype undulator was constructed and

tested at APS, and met LCLS performance goals. • A subsequent design improvement, that of introducing a 3-

mrad cant in the pole gap, was implemented using wedged spacers between the aluminum base plates and the titanium core. It was successfully tested and the concept was adopted in the baseline.

• A disadvantage of the canted-pole design is the necessity to provide a separate support for vacuum chamber

• Magnetic measurements show good agreement with calculated change of the effective magnetic field versus X (horizontal motion).

• No significant change of the RMS phase error versus X was measured.



of Energy

Current Status • Significant effort has been devoted to planning, resulting in a detailed

undulator construction schedule that is integrated with the BPM, quadrupole and vacuum chamber construction and testing. The undulator schedule and the magnet measurement schedule are mostly integrated, and are consistent with completion of undulator systems in July 2007.

• A skeleton installation schedule exists; details are being added and integration with the rest of the schedule is ongoing.

• Schedule refinement is ongoing.• Costs were estimated by in-house experts with relevant experience and

were based on vendor quotes and previous experience. Cost scrubbing will continue.

• The greatest schedule risks come from:- Design changes - Delayed funding
