摘要: The multi-bunch injection adopted at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) increases the injection rate greatly, with much less injection time than that of single bunch injection. It reduces massively the beam failure time during users operation and prolongs the pulsed injection hardware lifetime. In this paper, the scheme to produce multi bunches for the RF electron gun is described. The filling result and beam orbit stability for top up operation is discussed.

摘要: The Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS, located in BL03SSID) beamline at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a laser Compton scattering (LCS) gamma source used for the investigation of nuclear structure, which is in extensive demand in fields such as nuclear astrophysics, nuclear cluster structure, polarization physics, and nuclear energy. The beamline is based on the inverse Compton scattering of 10640 nm photons on 3.5 GeV electrons and a gamma source with variable energy by changing the scattering angle from 20° to 160°. γ-rays of 0.25–21.1 MeV can be extracted by the scheme consisting of the interaction chamber, coarse collimator, fine collimator, and attenuator. The maximum photon flux for 180° is approximately 10^7 photons/s at the target at 21.7 MeV, with a 3-mm diameter beam. The beamline was equipped with four types of spectrometers for experiments in (γ,γ’), (γ,n), and (γ,p α). At present, nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) spectrometry, flat efficiency neutron detector (FED) spectrometry, neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometry, and light-charged particle (LCP) spectrometry methods have been developed.

摘要: BL10U2 is an undulator-based macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamline located at the 3.5-GeV Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. BL10U2 is specifically designed for conducting routine and bio safety level-2 (BSL-2) MX experiments utilizing high-flux tunable X-rays with energies from 7 to 18 keV, providing a beam spot size of 20 m (horizontal) 10 m (vertical) at the sample point. Certification by the Shanghai Pudong Municipal Health Commission confirmed the capability to perform BSL-2 MX experiments. The beamline is currently equipped with an Eiger X 16M detector and two newly developed in-house high-precision diffractometers that can be switched to perform conventional or in situ crystal diffraction experiments. An automatic sample changer developed in-house allows fast sample exchange in less than 30s, supporting high-throughput MX experimentation and rapid crystal screening. Data collection from both the diffractometer and detector was controlled by an in-house developed data collection software (Finback) with a user-friendly interface for convenient operation. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the facilities, experimental methods, and performance characteristics of the BL10U2 beamline.

摘要: A new X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13HB) has been implemented at the Shanghai Radiation Synchrotron Facility (SSRF) as an upgrade to the old X-ray imaging and biomedical application beamline (BL13W1). This is part of the Phase II construction project of the SSRF. The BL13HB is dedicated to 2D and 3D static and dynamic X-ray imaging, with a field of view of up to 48.5 5.2 mm2 and spatial resolution as high as 0.8 m. A super-bending magnet is used as the X-ray source in BL13HB, which has a maximum magnetic field of 2.293 T. The energy range of monochromatic X-ray photons from a double-multiplayer monochromator was 8-40 keV, and the white beam mode was provided on the beamline for dynamic X-ray imaging and dynamic X-ray micro-CT. While maintaining the previous experimental setup of BL13W1, new equipment was added to the beamline experimental station. The beamline is equipped with different sets of X-ray imaging detectors for several experimental methods such as micro-CT, dynamic micro-CT, and pair distribution function (PDF). The experimental station of BL13HB is designed specifically for various in situ dynamic experiments, and BL13HB has been open to users since June 2021.

摘要: Beamline BL16B1 at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is dedicated to small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study. It aims at probing microstructure and dynamic processes of polymers, nanomaterials, mesoporous materials, colloids, liquid crystals, metal materials, etc. At present, SAXS, wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), simultaneous SAXS/WAXS, grazing incident SAXS, and anomalous SAXS techniques are available. The sample-to-detector distance is adjustable from 0.2 m to 5 m. For conventional SAXS, the practicable q-range is from 0.033.6 nm-1 at incident X-ray of 10 keV. A continuous q-region of 0.0633 nm-1 can be achieved in simultaneous SAXS/WAXS mode. Time-resolved SAXS measurements in sub-second level can be performed. Detailed descriptions about status, performance and application of the SAXS beamline are given in this paper.

摘要: In the near future, the Phase-II beamline project of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) will be implemented and some dipoles in the storage ring will be replaced by high field dipoles (super-bend), so as to leave room for short straight sections. In this way, the brightness of the hard x-ray emitted from the super-bends can be enhanced, and more insertion devices can be installed. In this paper, super-bends of two lengths are discussed and the corresponding lattices are presented.

摘要: The Ultrahard X-ray Multifunctional Application Beamline (BL12SW) is one of the Phase-II Beamline Projects at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The primary X-ray techniques used at the beamline are high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging using white and monochromatic light. The main scientific objectives of ultrahard X-ray beamline are focused on two research areas. One is the study of the structural properties of Earth’s interior and new materials under extreme high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and the other is the characterization of materials and processes in near-real service environments. The beamline utilizes a superconducting wiggler as the light source, with two diamond windows and SiC discs to filter out low-energy light (primarily below 30 keV) and a Cu filter assembly to control the thermal load entering the subsequent optical components. The beamline is equipped with dual monochromators. The first was a meridional bending Laue monochromator cooled by liquid nitrogen, achieving a full-energy coverage of 30–162 keV. The second was a sagittal bending Laue monochromator installed in an external building, providing a focused beam in the horizontal direction with an energy range of 60–120 keV. There were four experimental hutches: two large volume press (LVP) experimental hutches (LVP1 and LVP2) and two engineering material (ENG) experimental hutches (ENG1 and ENG2). Each hutch was equipped with various near-real service conditions to satisfy different requirements. For example, LVP1 and LVP2 were equipped with a 200-ton DDIA press and a 2000-ton dual-mode (DDIA and Kawai) press, respectively. ENG1 and ENG2 provide in-situ tensile, creep, and fatigue tests as well as high-temperature conditions. Since June 2023, the BL12SW has been in trial operation. It is expected to officially open to users by early 2024.

摘要: In order to do alignment between the timing signal and the synchrotron X-ray pulse on the sample spot in the time domain, measuring time structure of the storage ring on the sample spot inside the experimental hutch is a foundational step during the time-resolved experiments using the pulsed synchrotron X-rays with the time structure defined by the storage ring. In this work, the method of time-resolved X-ray excited optical luminescence (TRXEOL) was designed and implemented to do the measurement. It is based on the principle of time-correlated single photon counting techniques. The measurement system consists of a spectrometer with a detector of photomultiplier tube, a timing system, a set of nuclear instrument modules and a luminescent material of zinc oxide. The measurement was performed on the X-ray absorbed fine structure spectrum beamline at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The results show that this method can be used to measure the time structure of the storage ring with a precision of less than 1 ns. The measurement system can also be used for the time-resolved research for the optical luminescent materials.
