The magnetic structure is designed in such a way that only one clamp is required to hold each<br />

pole and each magnet, thus allowing one side of the structure (the back side in Figure 8.18) to<br />

remain open for the insertion of side shims.<br />

The undulator segment core is made from a solid 3.4-m long titanium bar, which has a<br />

diameter of approximately 305 mm. A precise window machined along the entire length of the<br />

bar is used to locate the top and bottom magnetic jaws. The feasibility of this technique will be<br />

proven through manufacturing and testing of the prototype as unknown variables in the<br />

machining process such as material relaxation could cause twisting, bowing or warping. Titanium<br />

was chosen for the core material due to its low specific weight and low thermal expansion<br />

coefficient. The low specific weight will lighten the structure and thus decrease potential<br />

deflection of the undulator segment between supports; deflections of only a few microns are<br />

anticipated. Titanium's low thermal expansion coefficient will minimize thermally induced<br />

deflections caused by variations in the tunnel temperature. Temperature stability is very important<br />

to keep the magnetic field from changing significantly. The base plate, with its slots to hold the<br />

magnets and poles of the magnetic structure, is made of aluminum in order to partially<br />

compensate for the influences of temperature fluctuations, which can change the gap distances<br />

between poles (see Figure 8.13).<br />

The prototype undulator segment has a total of 226 poles per jaw, and 225 magnets. The<br />

length of the magnetic array proper, including all poles and magnets, is 3381 mm. There is some<br />

space allowed at each end before the magnetic shield. The magnetic shields are 5 mm thick at<br />

each end, and the overall length of the undulator segment, including shields, is 3410 mm. Once<br />

the bolt heads are added in, the total mechanical length of the segment is 3422 mm. The Ti bar by<br />

itself is 3400 mm long.<br />
