SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014 Areas of contribution Tuning system scale-up – Scale-up existing tuning concept and test off-line Tuning test cryostat – Simple extension of existing cryogen free cryostat: 1m => 1.5m – Primary purpose: will allow testing of tuning system in parallel with main cryostat fabrication avoid risk of commissioning tuning system late in project Nb 3 Sn 1.5m prototype – 18.5mm period, end corrections – Potential for significant performance enhancement or significantly increased performance margin (e.g. temperature) vs NbTi Testing – Participate in testing and tuning of SCU prototype in the ANL Test Cryostat

SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014 Tuning concepts Guidelines: – Want method that provides sufficient degree-of-freedom correction – Want to minimize cool-down => warm-up cycles – Want minimal complexity Approach: – Single active electrical circuit drives multiple correctors in series – Initially large selection of possible corrector locations At each location +I cor,0,-I cor are allowed – Optimize distribution of active correctors to minimize trajectory and phase-shake errors.

SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014 Tuning concept scale-up General approach to field-errors: – Minimize errors via tight machining tolerances, assembly – Eliminate global steering and displacement via end correction coils – But… also provide a mechanism for local field error correction Use detailed error analysis to develop algorithm for tuning concept scale-up – Many poles (N) can have correction loop carrying current ±I cor – I cor can be varied with main coil current I 0 – N varies from undulator to undulator selected based on measurements

SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014 End design (1) Odd number of poles chosen for prototype – Non-ideal effects due to finite permeability and differential saturation of end poles – End kick is dependent on the undulator field – Dipole field is generated by unbalanced yoke field As field is ramped: Pole 2 saturates before 1

SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014 End design (2) Odd number of poles Ideal end design is used for the main coil (1/8, 1/2, 7/8) Kick corrector + field clamps placed at each end (only generates a kick) Dipole corrector is co-wound with the main coil in the first pocket (generates both kick and dipole) Strength of both correctors is varied as a function of the undulator field (look-up table)
