David Martin High Precision Beamline Alignment at the ESRF IWAA, Grenoble 3-7 October 2016
OVERVIEW The ESRF has just completed the Phase I Upgrade programme. The Phase I Upgrade programme was centered on the construction of a new generation of X-ray instruments and beamlines. 19 of the 30 public beamlines have been completely reconstructed or undergone major refurbishment. Part of this programme included the construction of 8000 m 2 of new experimental hall premises with critical temperature and mechanical stability specifications. Page 2
OVERVIEW The Phase II Upgrade - Extremely Bright Source (EBS) - aims to dramatically increase the X-ray source brightness by decreasing the machine horizontal emittance. To do this, the ESRF has chosen to redesign the machine lattice by significantly increasing the number of bending magnets. This new design requires removing the existing machine and replacing it with a new one. This will be done between now and 2020 with the bulk of the assembly and installation scheduled for 2018 to 2020. Page 3
OVERVIEW We will concentrate on the successful Phase I Upgrade Beamline (UPBL) construction and installation programme: Centering on two specific example beamlines: UPBL7 ID32, and UPBL4 ID16 And discussing several techniques that were used to align the beamline equipment to the required tolerances. Following this Flora Yakhou-Harris (ID32) and Peter Cloetens (ID16A NiNa) will discuss alignment issues and science on their respective beamlines. Page 4
THE ESRF The linear accelerator (linac) accelerates the electrons from rest mass to 100 MeV The booster accelerates the electrons from 100MeV to 6GeV The storage ring keeps the electrons circulating at 6GeV for many hours The 6GeV electrons produce synchrotron radiation in a tangential direction to the beam travel A ESRF is composed of two main elements: A particle accelerator that generates synchrotron radiation, and Beamline(s) that use the synchrotron radiation generated by the accelerator to study matter.

NANO PROBE At the ESRF p=150 m and q=0.05 m so q/p=3000-1 theoretical probe size ~10 nm The size of the focused x-ray probe spot depends on: the source size, the distance between the source and the focusing optics p, and the working distance between optics and the experimental sample q. Page 6

ANGLE AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENT Determining an angle with distances is inherently less precise than auto-collimation L= 0.2 m U(D) = 10 µm U(D) = 10 µm U(α) = 0.5 to 1 arc second (2.5 to 5 µrad) Page 29
PHASE II - EBS The ESRF Phase II EBS presents many significant alignment challenges We will discuss some challenges related to the beamlines Page 30
EBS AND THE BEAMLINES THE PROBLEM The new machine has a nominal design position. But the existing machine is not in its nominal position Vertical +0.8 mm Nominal Position Horizontal +1.1 mm Nominal Position Cell1-1.2 mm Cell32-2.1mm The simplest option is to align the machine in the position of the old machine 31
EBS AND THE BEAMLINES THE PROBLEM The main problem is that there is uncertainty as to where the actual beamline axes are with respect to their expected positions? Nominal beamline axis Machine and alignment errors Long term movements 32
EBS AND THE BEAMLINES THE PROBLEM Measurements were made on selected frontend and beamline primary slits to determine the difference between actual and expected positions The nominal beamline axis is determined by the magnet positions 0.00-0.20-0.40 ID16-0.60-0.80 ID16 Straight -1.00-1.20 Source Point Frontend Slit The measured beamline axis is determined by the slit positions Port End Primary Slit Page 33
EBS AND THE BEAMLINES THE PROBLEM The standard deviation in the difference between the measured and expected primary slit positions was 0.63 mm. This corresponds to a beamline angle uncertainty of 27 µrad at 1σ and implies alignment uncertainty of: ±3.2 mm at 2σ at 60 m in the EXPH, ±6.4 mm at 2σ at 120 m in the EX2, and ±9.7 mm at 2σ at 180 m on ID16. This means even if we align the new machine where the existing machine is, the photon beam will not necessarily be where it is today. Page 34
EBS AND THE BEAMLINES MEASURES We have decided the best way forward will be to Ensure all FE slits are remote servo-controlled. Measure the all of the beamline FE and primary slits to calibrate the beam trajectory. Install a beam viewer on every beamline. The beam viewers will be fiducialised and in principle the position of the beam can be measured. It is planned to be able to steer the beam onto the beam viewer with a precision better that 1 mm.
