Synchrotron Radiation Sources Two different sources of radia=on at 3rd genera=on sources: n bending magnets (BMs) n inser=on devices (IDs); periodic arrays of magnets inserted between the BMs (wigglers or undulators) Important parameters are: n Spectral distribu=on n Flux (number of x- rays/sec - 0.1%bw) n Brightness (flux/source size- source divergence) n Polariza=on (linear, circular) Slide courtesy of D.

Insertion Devices Inser=on devices (IDs) are periodic magne=c arrays with alterna=ng field direc=ons that force the par=cles to oscillate as they pass through the device. Characterized by Deflec=on Parameter K : K = eb o λ ID /2πm o c = 0.0934 λ ID [cm] B o [kg] where λ ID is the period and B o the peak magne=c field.

Wiggler Radiation Sources Wiggler Radia,on n Like BM radia=on where each pole is a source n spectrum characterized by the cri=cal energy (different than BM cri=cal energy) n flux ~10 14 to 10 15 photons/ sec/0.1% BW/mrad (10-100x Bend magnet) Critical Energy n Opening angle Ver=cal 1/γ APS ~73µrad Horizontal K/γ (~3-10) x ~73µrad n No wigglers at the APS.

Wiggler Radiation Sources X- ray Beam has lots of power!! 1-10 kw Makes designing op=cs (monochromators, mirrors) a challenge White beam from wiggler incident on Gate Valve for ~2-10 minutes @ NSLS
Undulator Radiation Undulator radia=on is the coherent super- posi=on of radia=on from each pole of the undulator. Interference from different parts of the par=cle's trajectory in the undulator causes the radia=on to be squeezed into discrete spectral lines and into a narrower emission angle. Construc=ve interference occurs at wavelengths given by: λ n x- ray = ( λ ID /2γ 2 n)(1 + K 2 /2 + γ 2 θ 2 ), where n is the harmonic number. Adjust K (field, gap) to move harmonic (tuning curves).

Undulator Energy Spread and Angular Distribution The energy spread of the interference peak (central cone) is given by: ΔE/E = Δλ/λ 1/nN (like a grating!).!! For a given K-value (gap), the wavelength at angle θ is λ 1 = ( λ ID /2γ 2 )(1 + K 2 /2 + γ 2 θ 12 ) The central cone opening angle, θ,! is given by: θ/ 2 = (λ x- ray /2L) 1/2! Slide courtesy of D.

Undulator Radiation Patterns and Spectra Undulator Radia,on! n undulators defined as IDs with horizontal deflec=on angle 1/γ, i.e., K 1 n spectrum peaked at x- ray specific x- ray energies, but peaks are tunable by varying K (K = 0.94 B[T] λ ID [cm]) n at the peaks (harmonics) the horizontal and ver=cal opening angles of the radia=on is given by: (λ x- ray / 2L) 1/2 [ ~ few microradians] n to get the true opening angle, need to consider the opening angle of the emi}ng par=cles Slide courtesy of D.

Emittance & Brightness n Synchrotron radia=on is emi7ed from an packet of electrons with some finite size and divergence distribu=on. n The product of the par=cle beam size and divergence is propor=onal to the emi7ance (units are length x angle). Y X Z The emi7ance is a constant of the storage ring (phase space is preserved). Rela=on between source size and divergence given by the beta func=ons. σ x,y = ε x,y β x,y σ ' x,y = ε x,y βx,y Slide courtesy of D. Mills
Emittance & Brightness Total source size and divergence (Σ) is a convolution of the radiation and particle beam distribution Σ x,y = σ 2 2 r +σ x,y Σ x',y' = σ 2 2 r' +σ x',y' σ r = 1 2π 2λL U σ r' = λ 2L U APS Undulator A: L=2.4m - > @ 1Å σ r = 1.7 µm & σ r = 4.5 µrad For most energies par=cle source divergence dominates
Source Divergence vs. Energy Σ x,y = σ 2 2 σ r +σ r = 1 x,y 2π 2λL U Σ x',y' = σ 2 2 r' +σ x',y' σ r' = λ 2L U Radia=on contribu=on negligible to source size Radia=on contributes significantly to divergence at lower energies (coherence)

X-ray Beam Size @ 30m 8 kev APS Now MBA Σ x = 471 µm (1105 µm FWHM) Σ y = 200 µm ( 472 µm FWHM) Σ x = 231 µm (543 µm FWHM) Σ y = 210 µm (495 µm FWHM) X- ray beam size in the ver=cal plane will be similar to current APS X- ray beam in horizontal will be ~x2 smaller, but much more coherent.
Focusing of beam MBA la}ce provides modest gains in flux (2-3x) but drama=c improvements in focusing, because can take full beam in horizontal plane
Coherence & Diffraction Limit Coherence describes the degree that the phase of the wave is correlated at two points. Transverse depends on source; Longitudinal depends on monochromator. As D s gets smaller D i gets smaller un=l D s Θ s ~ λ/2 At this point the source is said to be diffrac=on limited
Diffraction Limited Source Size and Divergence n The effec=ve phase space of the radia=on source (Σ i and Σ i ) has contribu=ons from size and divergence of the par=cle beam genera=ng the radia=on and the intrinsic source size and divergence of the radia=on itself. Is there are limit to how small the effec,ve phase space area (i.e., emi?ance) can be? Yes, you are s=ll bound by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Recall: ΔxΔp x /2 p x = Θ x or Δp x = ΔΘ x and p z = k = (2π /λ) p z p z so : ΔxΔp x = ΔxΔΘ x p z = ΔxΔΘ x [ (2π /λ)] /2 ΔxΔΘ x λ /4π n This is the so- called diffrac=on limit. For central cone of the undulator: σ r ' or (ΔΘ) = [λ/2l] and so σ r or (Δx) = [λl/8π 2 ] Slide courtesy of D. Mills
