The Latest Status of NSLS-II Insertion Devices

Abstract

The National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) project is now in the final stage of construction. The Linac, the Booster synchrotron, and the Storage Ring magnets girder assemblies have been installed. The first damping wiggler has been delivered and its field characteristics are carefully measured. A Three Pole Wiggler (3PW) and Apple-II type elliptically polarizing undulators (EPUs) have been fabricated by the vendors. Two 3.0m long in-vacuum undulators (IVUs) and one 1.5m long IVU are almost complete and waiting for factory acceptance tests. One 3.0m long IVU for Inelastic X-ray Scattering beamline is in fabrication by a different vendor. Recently two 2.8m long IVUs for long straight sections (LSSs) have been added to the project for "future beamlines". In addition, two 1.5m long IVUs and one 2.8m long IVU for LSSs have been procured for Advanced Beamlines for Biological Investigations with X-rays (ABBIX) project funded by National Institure of Health (NIH). Further, two 3.5m long EPUs for LSSs are being designed for NSLS-II Experimental Tools (NEXT) -Major Item of Equipment (MIE) project. To succeed these conventional IVUs, PrFeB based cryo-permanent magnet undulator (CPMU) is considered as next generation device of hard X-ray sources. An In-Vacuum Magnetic Measurement System (IVMMS) for cold in-situ Hall probe mapping of CPMUs up to 1.5m in length has been developed. Summary of the current status of each project and future plans for the NSLS-II ring will be discussed.
