8 Heinz-Dieter Nuhn 8 BFW Results June 2009 FAC BFW Functions Beam Direction A misaligned undulator will not steer the beam. It will just radiate at the wrong wavelength. The BFW allows the misalignment to be detected. (also allows beam size measurements) UndulatorQuadBFW Replacement Vacuum Chamber Wires BFW Planned Applications Loose End Alignment Beam Profile Scanning Planned Applications Loose End Alignment Beam Profile Scanning Girder

9 Heinz-Dieter Nuhn 9 BFW Results June 2009 FAC Location of BFW Detectors 40 Detectors are used for BFW readout 33 PEP-II style radiator/PMT units: one after each BFW device 5 ANL Beam loss monitors: next to PEP-II devices on girders 1, 9, 17, 25, Beam loss fibers: BLF U01-U16 covering upstream girder, BLFU 17-U33 covering downstream girders Wire charge diagnostics is not installed

10 Heinz-Dieter Nuhn 10 BFW Results June 2009 FAC Scan Procedure Incorporated in Matlab GUI Start matlab gui BFWscan_gui Choose girders (1-33), X-wire or Y-wire, scan range, and scan step size For instance Girder: Wire: ‘X’ and ‘Y’ Range: -250 microns to +250 microns Step size: 50 microns. When started, the gui will then for each selected girder Move the girder cams to place the upstream girder end to the beginning of the scan range relative to the estimated collision point. (Motion is pivoted at the quadrupole) Move the wire card to “IN” position (while beam stopper is inserted) Take measurements from the 8 detectors, add the results to the graphs and go on to the next location. When done, return the girder to the position at which it was started. Move the wire card to “OUT” position. Move the girder back to its standard location. The gui will stop the beam upstream of the undulator line during wire card insertion/extraction and during motion to the next position.

19 Heinz-Dieter Nuhn 19 BFW Results June 2009 FAC The 33 Beam Finder Wire (BFW) devices in the undulator system are working very well. They enable monitoring of several parameters Loose-end alignment Beam sizes, i.e. betatron matching BLM calibration Transverse FEL coherence. Radiation levels produced by the scans are much lower than originally estimated allowing unrestricted use. Use has so far been restricted to higher electron beam energies due to the possibility of wire damage when interacting with the lowest energy FEL beam.
