Abstract
During the tuning of the six-row magnetic array helical undulator's magnetic field, key challenges of gap dependence and X-position dependence are addressed. For gap dependence, the target parameters are the RMS deviations of the second-order field integrals ( & ). Adjusting pole heights alone is proved insufficient. A solution is implemented by magnetic shimming on the poles and utilizing a staggered shimming concept on magnetic blocks. This successfully controls both and within 2000 Gs cm2 across the entire working gap range. For X-position dependence across a ±13 mm range, the focus is on the first/second-order integrals and multipole fields at the outlet. The limited longitudinal space makes magic fingers alone inadequate for compensation. Therefore, two configurations of shimming are introduced to pre-compensate for the dependence, followed by final adjustments with magic fingers. This hybrid approach effectively reduces multipole fields and corrects for defects in the off-axis field.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
