Application of Genetic Algorithms to Sorting, Swapping and Shimming of the SOLEIL Undulator Magnets
Abstract
Undulators are typically composed of a large number of individual magnets, from tens to many hundreds, depending on undulator type and technology. Characteristics of real magnets often deviate from ideal values, resulting in degradation of the undulator performance. It is known that the imperfections of individual magnets can be mutually compensated, to certain extent, by appropriate sorting of the magnets and/or magnet modules, based on measurements of their individual characteristics, performed before the insertion device (ID) assembly. After the assembly, the quality of the ID magnetic field can be improved by magnet swapping and by shimming, consisting either in small displacements of some of the magnets or in adding small pieces of permanent magnet or soft iron material to appropriate locations of the structure. Mathematically, the magnet sorting, swapping and shimming can be considered as multi-objective constrained optimization problems with large numbers of variables. We show that each of these problems can be efficiently solved by means of Genetic Algorithms with 3D magnetostatics methods and magnetic measurements data used for the fitness calculation. First practical results obtained with three different undulators of the SOLEIL Synchrotron are presented.

DiagOn is a diagnostic tool intended to precisely define the emission axis of an undulator, that has been developed by SOLEIL synchrotron Optics and Detectors groups. It uses the particular structure of monochromatic undulator emission into a narrow hollow cone centered on the axis. One wavelength is selected by a multilayer mirror to produce a characteristic image of the emission cone on scintillator and CCD camera. We review the emission properties of undulator in order to define the best parameters, K value, photon energy and emission angle, for diagnosis. Then the choice of optimal multilayer coating of the mirror ismore »

Design, Construction and Magnetic Measurements of the HU640 (OPHELIE2) Undulator dedicated to the DESIRS VUV Beamline at SOLEIL
A novel electromagnetic Insertion Device (ID) called HU640 (OPHELIE2) has been developed and constructed for the DESIRS beam line at SOLEIL. It is a 10 m-long helical/planar undulator designed to produce any kind of switchable photon polarizations in the range 5 eV - 40 eV. It is composed of three sets of pure air coils mounted in a special arrangment. One set coils is dedicated to generate the horizontal field component. Two other sets, shifted the one from the other by a quarter of period along the ID axis, produce the vertical component with a continuous translation dephasing varying frommore » -
Development of cryogenic undulators with PrFeB magnets at SOLEIL
Short period high field undulators are of interest for X-ray brilliance enhancement in synchrotron radiation applications and for compact Free Electron Lasers. Cryogenic in-vacuum undulators [1] are one of the possible solutions. At SOLEIL, PrFeB magnets were directly chosen, even if still under development at that time. Indeed, they enable to avoid the spin transition reorientation phenomenon which occurs with NdFeB magnets [2] and the magnets can be cooled down directly at 77 K. The first selected grade CR53 from Hitachi presents a remanence of 1.35 T at 293 K and 1.57 T at 77 K, with a coercivity ofmore » -
Multipole Shimming of Permanent Magnets Using Harmonic CorrectorRings
Shimming systems are required to provide sufficient fieldhomogeneity for high resolution NMR. In certain specialized applications,such as rotating-field NMR and portable (ex-situ) NMR, permanentmagnet-based shimming systems can provide considerable advantages. Wepresent a simple two-dimensional shimming method based on harmoniccorrector rings which can provide arbitrary multipole order shimmingcorrections. Results demonstrate, for example, that quadrupolar ordershimming improves the linewidth by up to and order of magnitude. Anadditional order of magnitude reduction is in principle achievable byultilizing this shimming method for z-gradient correction and higherorder xy gradients. -
Shimming with permanent magnets for the x-ray detector in a hybrid x-ray/MR system
In this x-ray/MR hybrid system an x-ray flat panel detector is placed under the patient cradle, close to the MR volume of interest (VOI), where the magnetic field strength is {approx}0.5 T. Immersed in this strong field, several electronic components inside the detector become magnetized and create an additional magnetic field that is superimposed on the original field of the MR scanner. Even after linear shimming, the field homogeneity of the MR scanner remains disrupted by the detector. The authors characterize the field due to the detector with the field of two magnetic dipoles and further show that two setsmore »
