Diamond Light Source - Technical Systems and Beam Orbit Stabilisation

Mark Heron, Diamond Light Source Ltd.

Thursday 27  March 2008 at 19:30

Oxford Brookes University,  

Headington Campus, Oxford 

Light refreshments available from 19:00-19:30 

In January 2007 Diamond synchrotron light source began operating. It
produces an ultra bright source of synchrotron light, from which
predominantly the x-ray portion of the spectrum is used for research.
The light is produced by accelerating electrons at an energy of 3GeV
in a 561m circumference Storage Ring. Around the outer periphery of
the Storage Ring are located the photon beamlines and experiment
stations.

An introduction to the Diamond project and some of the science, to be
carried out on Diamond will be given. An overview of the technical
systems used to accelerate and contain the electrons will also be
presented. The technical design and realisation of the Beam Orbit
Feedback System will be described in more detail, including the
controller structure, the communication systems, and the feedback
computation.

If you want to know more, come along. All are welcome and no ticket
is required. Simply turn up on the night. For more details please
contact Dr Richard Mitchell at rjmitchell at theiet.org, or 0118 378 6790

Directions: Enter Oxford Brookes from Gypsy Lane. The lecture will be
sign- posted from the entrance hall. See
