ILSF, A THIRD GENERATION LIGHT SOURCE LABORATORY IN IRAN

Abstract The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) project is a first large scale accelerator facility which is currently under planning in Iran. On the basis of the present design, circumference of the 3 GeV storage ring is 297.6 m. Beam current and natural beam emittance are 400 mA and 3.278 nm.rad respectively. The facility will be built on a land of 50 hectares area in the city of Qazvin, located 150 km West of Tehran. The city is surrounded by many universities, research centers and industrial companies. The design and construction of prototype items such as radio frequency solid state amplifier, dipole magnets, highly stable magnet power supplies and girders have already begun. Site selection studies, including geotechnical and seismological measurements are being performed. Conceptual Design Report, CDR, as the first milestone of the project was published in October 2012

Magnetic measurement of Iranian Light Source Facility quadrupole storage ring prototype

Magnetic Measurement Lab is one of the most significant divisions of Research and Development (R&D) Lab of Iranian Light Source Facility. The main duty of this lab is to measure and check qualification of the accelerator magnets, including permanent and electromagnets, being applied in Iran for the fisrt time. The ILSF measurement lab consists of precise measurement equipment, in proportion  to synchrotron needs, such as Hall Effect probe measurement bench, rotating coil and Helmholtz coil. Recently, the lab has been provided with Hall probe measurement bench and uncompensated rotating coil and has made it possible to measure prototype magnets. In this article, the results of measuring quadrupole prototype are studied using Hall probe and rotating coil, to determine and compare errors in measuring multipole magnets and their source

Design and fabrication of the first quadrupole magnet for the ILSF storage ring

The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) is a new 3 GeV third generation synchrotron light source which is consisted of several pre-accelerators and a storage ring with the beam current of 400 mA. Based on the main lattice candidate, the storage ring includes of 100 dipoles, 320 quadrupoles and 320 sextupole magnets. To develop fabrication procedures and techniques and to compare the measurement results with the design data, a series of lattice magnets have been fabricated inside Iran with internal industries. In this article the first prototype quadrupole magnet fabrication process has been describe

Double-double bend achromat cell upgrade at the Diamond Light Source: From design to commissioning

Diamond has recently successfully commissioned a major change in the lattice consisting of the substitution of a standard double-bend achromat (DBA) cell with a modified four-bend achromat (4BA) cell called “double-double bend achromat” (DDBA). This work stems from the original studies initiated in 2012 towards a Diamond upgrade and provides the benefit of an additional straight section in the ring available for insertion devices. This paper reviews the DDBA design and layout, the implications for technical subsystems, the associated engineering challenges and the main results of the commissioning completed in April 2017
