First Beam Through Undulator Vacuum System
Conditions for First Beam:All Undulator Magnets Rolled-Out (Quads could initially be turned off, too)Single Shot Operation
Send single electron bunch towards undulatorRead and evaluate as much diagnostics as possible along undulator(such as BPMs, beam loss monitors, toroids)Identify and remove sources of beam loss Iterate
Low Charge: 200 pC or lessDiagnostics designed for micron-type resolution over 200-1000 pC rangeResolution drops proportionally for out-of-range charges.Out-of-range resolution still sufficient for initial commissioning steps, which only requires resolution in the 100 micron range.
Goal: Get beam through vacuum chamber with minimum losses.Reminder: Main Constraint is to Protect Undulator from Radiation Damage

K Measurement: 2-Segment Scheme
Measure synchrotron radiation spectrum produced by two undulator segments, and scan K of one segmentK’s are matched when spectrum has the steepest slope on high energy side of 1st harmonic peak. Match segments pair wise until all segments are measured.

Summary
Plans for undulator commissioning are shaping up.
Detailed system checkout planned.
Diagnostics tools are at, or passed, the concept phase.
Beam based K-measurement method included.
Methods for gain curve measurements have been worked out.
Planned availability of x-ray diagnostics is late Early x-ray profile and intensity diagnostics after main dump, desirable.
