Avoid degrading the source brilliance• minimum number of windows; materials chosen carefully• Optics – polished to the best figure, manufactured from defect-free Si, Ge or SiC to minimize

the disturbance of the wavefronts

CHX: Main Design Objectives

XPCS is a signal-starved technique. Every coherent photon must make it to the sample

Stability

•Vertical focusing

•minimize vibrations, heat load, etc


Comment Response

investigate whether accommodation of a microbeam SAXS capability compromises the primary XPCS mission of the beamline ...

BL design focused on XPCS. However, with a slightly different tuning and sample environment the BL will also be excellent for m-beam SAXS and CDI

investigate the possibility to accommodate limited CDI

take note of the structure of the electron beam, especially for studies of the fastest time scales, and consider the need to normalize incident beam fluctuations

Ongoing interaction with ASD concerning filling mode, bunch structure.

take note of the importance of “smart” detectors to ensure the success of the XPCS program at the fastest time scale

On-going R&D program - P. Siddons. A first prototype (100 x 100 pix) is in development

devote early attention to developing mirror and ML optics specifications, and how to characterize them...

Need for 100 nrad optics. R&D - coh. preservation.

Recent Recommendations from EFAC and DOE reviews

}


1st BAT Meeting – Dec. '08

• Main goal of CHX beamline - studies of dynamics by XPCS. Other techniques (m-beam SAXS, CDI) only if possible without compromising performance

• Detectors are the MOST important (and highest risk) part of the beamline. NSLS-II should advocate for detector development

• XPCS in a wide angle scattering geometry (WAXS) should be included in the initial scope

• Limit the power load by a first, high heat load aperture• Be CRLs appear as promising for vertical focusing – more studies regarding coherence

preservation will be required• Role of mulitlayers as a “wider band gap monochromator” was questioned in a layout

that includes also a mirror• Investigate the option of cryogenically cooling the DCM (with reference to Petra-III

which adopted this solution)• BL scientist should be encouraged to remain active in the field and engage into

collaborations with other researchers / other facilities

Major Recommendations:

!


Beamline Layout

• Relatively short source-sample distance and vertical focusing allow to use a full coherent mode e.g. 200 mm (V) x 20 mm (H) by focusing the beam to a 20 mm (V) x 20 mm (H) spot

• Large sample detector distance allows to have (relatively) large speckle sizes and resolve them with fast detectors which will, very likely, have relatively large pixels e.g. < 100 mm. The WAXS instrument will use additional focusing (H and V) to increase speckle size and resolution.


Source and Front End Source properties

• Low- straight → B=2x1021 [ph/(s·mrad2·mm2·0.1% bw)]

• U20 IVU (3 m); E=6-15 keV (Ic=2B/4)


Source: requirements for filling mode and uniformity

fast XPCS requires a quasi-DC source (uniform filling)

Need to perform simulations in order to determine how to perform XPCS with the baseline filling mode:

ESRF 7/8+1 filling:train of 868 bunches (7/8 of the SR circ.) filled with 200 mA (0.23 mA / bunch). Both edges of the train are filled with 1 mA single bunch. The remaining 1/8 gap is filled in its center with a cleaned 2 mA single bunch. Refill time ~ 5 min.

Example of noise in g(2) form a 7/8+1 filling mode at ESRF g(2) = g(2)

SR x g(2)sample

~1000 stored bunches; average current stability 1% over all the stored bunches; intensity variation between bunch that was stored for the longest time and the most recently filled – 20 %; single bunch train injection every ~ 1 minute; the injected pulse train “walks” around the bunch patters shifting the boundary between the oldest and the most recently injected bunches; each injection will result in a disturbance to the beam which will damp in 5 to 30 ms; (more DWs – faster damping time)

Slow XPCS @ NSLS-II will benefit of the long lifetime (top-up mode)


Optics Enclosure (“FOE”)• Primary slits

~100mm(H) x 500mm(V) P<8W (160 W/mm2)note: placed in Front End

• White beam mirrorH deflectingstops bremsstrahlung in OEprovides (some) high

harmonic rejectionheat sink: ~30 mm longfootprint P ~ 0.6 W/mm2

• Secondary slits• Be Compound Refractive Lenses – vertical focusing

•

• White beam stop, pink beam shutter

Monochromator: Vertical Si(111) DCM; small offset; cryo-cooling (P/A > 20 W/mm2, P ~ 6W)

Pink Beam: H-deflecting 2 x Multilayer mono, H2O cooling, q=1-2˚, L~ 5.5 mm, P < 6 W/mm2


Mirrors: slope error requirements

h(x)=h Sin( p x/L) => h'(x)= h * p/ L Cos(p x/L)Slope error: PV=2hp/L=1.25 mrad; RMS=hp/L*1/21/2=0.88 mradMax. deflection angle: 2*2hp/L =2.5 mradSmallest speckle size to resolve: s=l/D~1 Å / 30 mm =3.3 mrad

• Best figure error that manufacturers can guarantee today (3-2 nm) is not optimal for XPCS

• Some R&D effort is required in order to achieve the desired figure errors

Slope errors of 100 nrad will be required forcoherence or high resolution applications @ NSLS-II !

Slope errors of 100 nrad will be required forcoherence or high resolution applications @ NSLS-II !


Coherence Preservation by Mirrors & Multilayers

• On-going R&D project aiming at evaluating / controlling the effect that mirrors and MLs have onon the wavefront of the coherent X-ray beam.

E=11 keV (ID06, ESRF), WSi2/Si ML, 100 m B fiber, 1st order reflection (reflectivity ~ 0.7)A. Fluerasu, O. Chubar, R. Conley, L. Berman, A. Snigirev (ESRF), work in progress


At wavelength tests - further steps • Coherence preservation by multilayers

• Theoretical work on phase retrieval from in-line holograms O. Chubar, A. Snigirev, A. Fluerasu et al.

I. Robinson et al. Phys. Rev. B 52, 9917 (1992) (1D speckle from ML)Aim: retrieve the surface profile, power spectral density function

• Coherence preservation by mirrors, focusing elements

• Perform tests on “test” samples purchased from different vendors, polished by different methods

• Perform test with novel focusing optics: large acceptance Be lenses,linear Be lenses, coherence preservation, etc

• Perform more “realistic” tests – highheat load in white or pink beam, usethe elements under test as “source”as opposed to as “samples”, etc

• Need for an NSLS-II R&D activity (all BLs)& operating budget

A. Madsen et al., ID 10 ESRF


Focusing with Be CRLs

• Be compound refractive lenses offer the best and most reliable way to focus the beam for SAXS-XPCS

they are in user operation at ID10, ESRF and provide an efficient way of using the full vertical coherent beam without any noticeable loss in contrast

- no focusing- V. focusing (CRL)

ID 10, ESRF


Pink Beam: Double Multilayer Monochromator

• Pink beam deviceNatural line width e.g. for 3m long U20 IVU most typically working on the 3rd or 5th harmonic DE/E~1/nN<1/450 smaller than the typical bandwith of ML structures (~ 1%)

• Multilayers: provide the only practical way to obtain an efficient pink beam operation with good harmonic rejection (e.g. < 10-3-10-4) at medium energy SRs !

vs.


Conclusions of FEA for the DCM:• Sharp “thermal bump” if water cooling is used due to small beam. Slope errors are ~ 20 mrad irrespective of cooling geometry• Cryogenic cooling will be required to maintain the slope error < 0.2 nrad• Vibrations issue will be addressed by the mechanical design (seek advice and inspiration from NSLS, 26-ID- APS, Petra-III, …)

Need for detectors for XPCS

• Development of a fast (0.1 ms) and “smart” (integrated correlators) pixel detector

Pete Siddons, NSLS – exploratory study related to detectors that are of importance to NSLS-II, particularly an XPCS detector – First prototype in progress!

• Other detectors of interestphoton-ccounting det. eff~100% @ 8keV

Medipix detector: 1kHz, 55 mm pixel sizePilatus detector: 100 Hz, 172 mm pixel sizePilatus-II detector: ~1 kHz, ~80 mm pixel size

• Array of APDs 'collection' of point detectors - > limitations in stud. non-ergodig systems- > available, possibility to implement with an array of

hardware (e.g. FPGA) correlators


Summary and Outlook• Beamline conceptual design is on-track and advancing well towards its

completion (09/2009)• Beamline budget ($10.04M) seems adequate even though it was

calculated for a beamline (CD-2) which bears little resemblance with the current layout

• Risk factor: availability of fast (1 MHz) photon-counting pixel detectors with small-enough pixel size. Mitigation: possible use of APD arrays (albeit 0D and not 2D detectors)

• On-going research program (not yet funded through an official R&D) aiming at obtaining mirrors and multilayers with required figure errors

• Future steps:• Finalize the comprehensive cost estimate• Bremsstrahlung and SR ray tracing (stopping white beam in FOE)• Establish (more) precise requirements for filling modes and bunch to bunch

variations
