ALBA Storage Ring Dipoles

Magnets

The Danfysik accelerator magnet program covers standard and custom-built resistive magnets, reaching from small correctors to very large spectrometer magnets of more than 100 metric tons. Opera 2D and 3D is used for magnetic field modeling, Autodesk Inventor for mechanical design and COSMOS for finite element calculations of mechanical structures. Vacuum impregnated hollow conductor magnet coils are made in-house.
Magnetic field documentation is performed using a rotating coil system and a x-y-z Hall probe mapping system.

Danfysik offers complete magnet systems including vacuum chambers, supporting stands and matching power supplies.

32 Combined Function Storage Ring Dipole Magnets for the ALBA Synchrotron, Spain

Project start 2007. Project completion 2008.

The CELLS consortium has constructed and will operate the new Spanish 3 GeV synchrotron light source ALBA situated in Barcelona. ALBA is planned to go into operation from 2010 with seven beamlines available for the scientific users.

Danfysik has supplied the 32 combined function bending magnets needed for the storage ring. The small electron beam size of ALBA requires very tight tolerances on the bending magnets and the contract included a pre-series magnet for verification of magnetic field performance. The magnet yoke/pole assembly was dimensionally controlled using an advanced 3D coordinate measuring machine to verify pole contour and pole end shapes.

The Danfysik accelerator magnet program covers standard and custom-built resistive magnets. The delivery has included advanced Combined Function Dipole Magnets for Boosters and Storage Rings.

Opera 2D and 3D is used for magnetic field modeling, Autodesk Inventor 3D for mechanical design and COSMOS for finite element calculations of mechanical structures. Magnetic field documentation is performed using a x-y-z Hall probe mapping system and by full length integrating coil device.
