First prototype undulator for the LCLS project - mechanical design and prototype lessons.
The design of a new hybrid-type undulator with a fixed gap of 6 mm, a period of 30 mm, and a length of 3.4 m is presented. The undulator line, consisting of 33 such units, is a critical part of the LCLS project, which is one step toward the design of a fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source. Magnetic tolerance of all 33 undulators, as well as the corresponding mechanical uniformity, is a major challenge. A ridged C-shape design with a titanium housing of 12 inch diameter was chosen to provide easy access to the gap area for magnetic measuring and tuning. Lessons learned while working with this prototype are critical for successful project execution. Assembly and tests results, as well as possible design changes, are presented.
