Key Points

  • The goal is to design and implement a Beam Conditioning Unit for the MicroMAX beamline to improve beam handling and manipulation.
  • Developed a Beam Conditioning Unit with xbpm sensors, slits, a rotating chopper, a fast shutter, and a linear attenuator.
  • Designed the unit with piezo-driven stages for precise adjustments.
  • Utilized a low-pressure helium environment to protect the xbpm sensors while allowing heat transfer.
  • Successfully created a functional Beam Conditioning Unit that aligns with MicroMAX operational needs.
  • Demonstrated compatibility with the BioMAX beamline specific design requirements.
  • Ensured protection of sensitive components while maintaining necessary thermal conditions.

Abstract

A new Beam Conditioning Unit (BCU) has been developed for the MicroMAX beamline at MaxIV to condition the beam between the KB mirrors and the sample. It includes two XBPMs, a set of slits, a rotating chopper, a fast shutter and a linear attenuator, all on piezo driven stages. MicroMAX has a close collaboration with the BioMAX beamline, to simplify future work the same fastening rail system, with the same distance from rail to beam was chosen. To protect the XBPMs from oxygen but still allow for some heat transfer through convection, the chamber is filled with a low-pressure helium environment.
