Commissioning and operation of the cryostat for 3W1 SC wiggler

A 3W1 superconducting wiggler(SCW)with the pole gap of 68 mm was successfully tested and installed in a BEPC II storage ring in November,2019.The goal of zero liquid helium consumption was achieved,and the cryogenic system exhibited a 12%residual cooling capacity(approximately 0.69 W@4.2 K).The 3W1-SCW was set to operate at 2.49 T and has been operating for more than seven months.Three instances of magnet quenching occurred during the normal operation.The evaporated helium gas can be recycled to the helium gas recycling system when the pressure in the helium tank is higher than the parameter value(the setpoint of the pressure value is 1.2 bara).The cryogenic system can be recovered within 4 h if sufficient liquid helium is available to inject into the cryostat.

Superconducting multipole wiggler with large magnetic gap for HEPS-TF

A 16-pole superconducting multipole wiggler with a large gap of 68 mm was designed and fabricated to serve as a multipole wiggler for HEPS-TF.The wiggler consists of 16 pairs of NbTi superconducting coils with a period length of 170 mm,and its maximum peak field is 2.6 Tesla.In magnet design,magnet poles were optimized.Furthermore,the Lorentz force on the coils and electromagnetic force between the upper and lower halves were computed and analyzed along with the stored energy and inductance at different currents.To enhance the critical current of the magnet coil,all the pole coils selected for the magnet exhibited excellent performance,and appropriate prestress derived from the coil force analysis was applied to the pole coils during magnet assembly.The entire magnet structure was immersed in 4.2-K liquid helium in the cryostat cooled solely by four two-stage cryocoolers,and the performance test of the superconducting wiggler was appropriately completed.Based on the measured results,the first and second field integrals on the axis of the superconducting wiggler were significantly improved at different field levels after the compensation of the corrector coils.Subsequently,the wiggler was successfully installed in the storage ring of BEPCII operation with beams.

Research on magnetic centermeasurement of quadrupole and sextupole using vibrating wire alignment technique in HEPS-TF

Purpose In order to meet the extremely low emittance requirement,the magnets in the storage ring of high-energy photon source(HEPS)need to have a stable support and precise positioning.In HEPS-TF,the key and difficult technologies of HEPS should be researched and developed.Vibrating wire alignment technique is one important project of HEPS-TF.It can be used to pre-align the quadrupoles and sextupoles on one girder with high precision.A vibrating wire measurement system was set up and tested to verify the magnetic center measurement precision and the magnet adjustment error.Methods There are one sextupole and one quadrupole installed on a multipole girder.Vibrating wire is stretched through mechanical center of the magnet apertures and supported by the test benches on the two sides.A single conducting wire is stretched through themagnet aperture and electrified by alternating current.The wire will vibrate for a period of Lorentz force.By matching the current frequency to one mode of natural frequency of the wire,the vibrating amplitude will be enhanced.And by measuring the vibrating amplitude,the magnetic field at the wire position can be got.Moving the wire across the magnet aperture in the transversal or vertical direction,the distribution of magnetic field and magnetic center position can be measured.According to the magnetic center position error to adjust the magnet.Measure the magnetic center of all magnets installed on the multipole girder one by one,and adjust their magnetic center to a line.Results The magnetic center measurement precision is better than±3μm,and the magnet adjustment error is less than 6μm.Conclusion The vibrating wire system design and a series of magnetic center measurement experiments have gained good achievements.It has been proved the vibrating wire system is designed reasonable and using the vibrating wire to align the magnets installed on a multipole girder is feasible and can reach a high precision.
