Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a synchrotron radiation facility of medium energy, 3 GeV, and low emittance, under construction at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC). The multipole errors of lattice magnets were rigorously examined and corrected so as to maintain the dynamic aperture of the electron beam in the storage ring. The lattice magnets were fully inspected at both the vendor and vendee sites. The multipole errors of the lattice magnets were tested and corrected. In particular, the sextupole magnets have the pole position adjusted to correct the multipole errors so as to conform to the specification. The yoke cutting is to correct the octupole error of the long-quadrupole magnets. The shimming of the magnetic center and the final examination of the magnets will be undertaken at NSRRC. In this paper, we report the methods of correcting the multipole errors, the magnetic center, and the performance of the TPS lattice magnets. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper presents the design of magnets for the storage ring of the 3-GeV Taiwan Photon Source project. Detailed calculations of the field were performed according to a three-dimensional model, and the magnetic geometry was determined in transverse and longitudinal planes to conform to highly precise magnetic fields. The final tolerances of the pole profiles of the magnets within 20 \mum were manufactured and measured in all prototype magnets. The characteristics of the magnetic fields were measured with Hall-probe and rotating-coil systems to verify the quality of the magnetic fields. The centers of the magnets will be aligned on the girder with precisely machined rails within 20 \mum, and the magnets have no provision for shimming on the girder. The features of the main field and homogeneity of these magnets are described and analysed to reveal the satisfactory magnetic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a low-emittance synchrotron radiation factory. The lattice magnets are located compactly within the limited space in the storage ring. The mutual proximity of the magnets induces field crosstalk and influences the dynamic aperture of the electron beam. The field becomes distorted, induced by the crosstalk within not only the iron yoke but also the edges of the magnets. Precise measurements with rotating-coil systems were conducted to characterize the integral field quality of the magnets; a new method to detect the center of magnets is presented. Simulation with TOSCA software was undertaken for comparison with these experimental results. We report the field distortions induced by crosstalk on the basis of our measurements and simulations. A misalignment effect between the quadrupole and sextupole magnets is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The wire windings and magnetic performance of the mini-pole superconducting undulator (SCU) at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) are being improved. NbTi superconducting (SC) wire with a rectangular cross section 0.51 mm x 0.77 mm was wound on a racetrack iron pole. The designed field strength was 1.4 T at excitation current 510 A. The bath LHe-cryostat cools the SC wire directly and uniformly using LHe. A stainless-steel (SS) beam duct (thickness 0.3 mm) is designed to separate the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) from the storage ring and the LHe. The SS beam duct is glued to the dummy arrays with resin epoxy. The dummy arrays provide a strong support for the beam duct, providing against deformity from a pressure differential. A vacuum test was performed with a short version of a beam duct (length 400 mm) at low temperature. This paper describes the construction of the magnet, the measurement of the field and the testing of the SS beam duct. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
