Investigation of the polarization state of dual APPLE-II undulators

چکیده
The use of an APPLE II undulator is extremely important for providing a high-brilliance X-ray beam with the capability to switch between various photon beam polarization states. A high-precision soft X-ray polarimeter has been used to systematically investigate the polarization characteristics of the two helical APPLE II undulators installed on beamline I06 at Diamond Light Source. A simple data acquisition and processing procedure has been developed to determine the Stokes polarization parameters for light polarized at arbitrary linear angles emitted from a single undulator, and for circularly polarized light emitted from both undulators in conjunction with a single-period undulator phasing unit. The purity of linear polarization is found to deteriorate as the polarization angle moves away from the horizontal and vertical modes. Importantly, a negative correlation between the degree of circular polarization and the photon flux has been found when the phasing unit is used.

Investigation of Non-linear Beam Dynamics with Apple Ii- Type Undulators at Bessy Ii
APPLE II-type undulators are common sources of light with variable polarization. At BESSY II the UE56 insertion devices (IDs) consist of two parts. The closing of the upstream parts leads to an intolerable lifetime reduction of the beam. The paper describes the experimental investigation of this effect. Lifetime and beam loss measurements as a function of the working point clearly revealed the ...

Variable (phaseand gap-dependent) skewand normal-quadrupole focusing effects of APPLE-II undulators on electron beam are reportedly complicating practical use of this type of insertion devices in many synchrotron radiation sources. We show that these undesirable effects, whatever their physical “origin”, can be well controlled and in many cases efficiently compensated during the standard “virtu...
