Impact of Gas Bremsstrahlung on Synchrotron Radiation Beamline Shielding at the Advanced Photon Source+
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) currently under construction at Argonne National Laboratory will be one of the world’s brightest synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring, capable of storing currents up to 300 mA at 7.0 GeV and 200 mA at 7.5 GeV, will produce very intense and energetic synchrotron radiation (Ec = 24 keV for bending magnets and Ec = 37.4 keV for wigglers, where Ec is the critical energy). The synchrotron radiation (SR) beam lines consisting of experimental enclosures and transport lines will have to be shielded against synchrotron radiation and gas bremsstrahlung scattered from beam line components. For insertion devices placed in the straight sections (length = 15 m), the gas bremsstrahlung produced by the interaction of the primary stored beam with residual gas molecules or ions in the storage ring vacuum chamber dominates the SR beam line shielding. The impact of gas bremsstrahlung on the SR beam line shielding is discussed in this paper.

The EGS4 electron-photon Monte Carlo code has been used to study the characteristics of the bremsstrahlung x-rays generated from the interaction of circulating electrons with the residual gas in accelerator storage rings. Gas bremsstrahlung dose rates are given for various opening angles as a function of the electron beam energy ranging from 0.510 GeV. Photon and neutron dose rates, generated f...

The radiation shielding for an Advanced Photon Source (APS) insertion device beamline using a mirror as the first optical component is discussed. The beamline layout for a specific Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation Collaborative Access Team beamline (sector 2 of SRI CAT) is described, and the methodology used to determine the radiation shielding is presented. Results indicate that, by using...
