Cost estimate of initial SSC experimental equipment

Description: The cost of the initial detector complement at recently constructed colliding beam facilities (or at those under construction) has been a significant fraction of the cost of the accelerator complex. Because of the complexity of large modern-day detectors, the time-scale for their design and construction is comparable to the time-scale needed for accelerator design and construction. For these reasons it is appropriate to estimate the cost of the anticipated detector complement in parallel with t… more

Report on policy and activities concerning public awareness of health effects of low-level radiation

Description: In the summer of 1986, the Executive Committee authorized a study limited to determining policy and practices relevant to dissemination of information to the public on radiation health effects in three federal agencies. This report summarizes findings on two broad questions related to the communication issue: What, if any, are the policies under which federal agencies operate in disseminating information on health effects of radiation and what are the current programs and activities designed to… more

Angular distribution of power from an undulator and a wiggler on a 6-GeV storage ring

Description: There are two fundamental reasons to have a full knowledge of the angular distribution of power from an insertion device: 1. To evaluate the heat-load distribution on the first optical element in a beamline. 2. To estimate the total radiated power which will impinge on the walls of an insertion device. This is important to ensure needed cooling of the insertion device walls. The photodesorption is another closely related phenomenon determined by the exposure of the insertion device walls to the… more

6 GeV synchrotron x-ray source: Conceptual design report. Supplement A - characteristics of the insertion devices for the 6 GeV synchrotron source

Description: Historically, synchrotron radiation (SR) has been obtained primarily from bending-magnet (BM) sources. These continuous sources of electromagnetic radiation have contributed in a major way to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological, chemical and material systems. During the past few years, newer sources of SR based on sophisticated periodic magnetic structures, called insertion devices (IDs), have been developed. The electromagnetic radiation from these IDs can be used as … more

Superlattice optical elements

Description: The performance of state-of-the-art Layered Synthetic Microstructures (LSM) or superlattices at x-ray energies even exceeding the soft x- ray domain is a promising sign that systems of this type may play an important role as x-ray optical elements in the energy region of interest to 6-GeV users. As will be discussed in this paper, they are particularly attractive because of their large energy bandpass compared to crystals such as Si of Ge. In fact, they have been suggested recently as elements … more

Nd-Fe-B undulator design for CESR

Description: It is proposed to build a Nd-Fe-B based undulator on CESR ring which would provide pseudomonochromatic tunable radiation in the hard x-ray range from 4 to 15 keV. Such an intense radiation source opens unlimited possibilities for doing exciting science in material science and condensed matter physics. Here, we present the design goals for such an undulator and discuss the influence of various parameters that govern the properties of radiation from undulators. The analysis of these results leads… more
