Conventional Facilities & Beam Stability

1. Conventional Facilities & Beam Stability Marty Fallier Director for Conventional Facilities NSLS-II Beam Stability Workshop April 18, 2007

2. Stability Dependent on Conventional Facilities • Stability goals driven by conventional facility design • Stability of storage ring tunnel floor • Vibration < 25 nm PSD from 4-50hz • Stability of experimental floor • Vibration level of < 25 nm PSD from 4-50hz for general floor area • Vibration level for 1 nm resolution beam lines requires further definition but appears achievable with proper correlation • Thermal stability of storage ring tunnel environment • +/- 0.1o C for 1 hour time constant • Thermal stability of experimental floor • +/- 0.5o C for 1 hour time constant

6. CF Program for Vibration Management • Assessment of “green-field” conditions • Studies by Colin-Gordon Associates & N. Simos • On-going monitoring program • Identification and mitigation of cultural sources (where feasible) • FE Modeling of site and facility design • Needed to understand & predict facility response • Design optimization tool • Analysis of other facilities (CFN, APS & SPring 8 thus far) • Draw upon lessons learned • Provide input for model • Model performance verification • During & after construction, implement monitoring and maintenance program

7. Specific Vibration Mitigation Strategies • “Monolithic” slab for accelerator and experimental floor • Slab thicknesses based on vibration modeling results • Possible use of polymer admixtures and concrete layering for enhanced damping characteristics (access corridor & service bldgs) • Isolation of bldg structure, access corridor and mechanical spaces from tunnel and experimental floor slab • Inertia bases and isolation of piping, ducts and machinery from tunnel and experimental floor slabs • Low flow velocity design for ducts and piping • Specification and commissioning of equipment and systems to include precision alignment, balancing & vibration measurement • Orientation of service bldgs to maximize distance of machinery sources from tunnel and experimental floor slabs

Tunnel Design - Ring Building Section Need to assure that vibration mitigation measures are carried out at Ring building interfaces with other structures and where systems enter building or tunnel Non-vibrating Equipment Rotating Machinery Non-vibrating Equipment Rotating Machinery Distance determined by modeling & empirical analysis Section at Lab Office Building and Service Building

10. Vibration Studies • Studies of NSLS II “green field” conditions indicate an existing cultural vibration level of ~20 nm • Does not factor in reduction due to expected filtering effect of slab • Does not factor in cultural vibration reductions that can be achieved • Does not factor in addition from self-inflicted sources • Additional modeling and analysis is on-going to predict the value of these factors to arrive at an expected value for NSLS II • N. Simos will present in-depth discussion of modeling analysis and initial results in breakout session

11. Service Bldg Results • Concern about location of rotating machinery in service buildings near tunnel when positioned on infield side of Ring Bldg • Initial results show contribution from service bldg is minor (0.4nm) if source is properly isolated and located ~30 ft from tunnel • Additional mitigation can be applied to reduce energy transfer to ground beneath service building and reduce contribution even further • Conclusion – service building, and associated economy for utility routing, in infield appears workable 30 ft

12. Temperature Stability • Key temperature stability requirement is tunnel air @ +/- 0.1C (+ /-.18 F) at any given location over 1 hour • Key parameter is temperature stability and repeatability vs. absolute accuracy. • This level of stability has been achieved at other facilities and BNL has achieved even better stability in microscopy lab applications • The relatively steady state heat load and the high thermal mass of the tunnel make this quite achievable • Thermal modeling will be performed to confirm concepts and optimize system design

13. CF Beam Stability Path Forward • Continue vibration study and modeling to provide added assurance that design will yield desired performance • Assess impacts of proposed NSLS II design choices and equipment on vibration environment • Optimize vibration resistant design vs the quantity of concrete & steel in the tunnel and experimental floor slabs to contain costs • Identify local sources of vibration from on-site/off-site operating facilities to enable remediation (i.e. repair roads, balance machinery etc.) and optimize operating environment for NSLS II • Continue collaboration with other facilities to understand vibration performance and verify model accuracy • Perform thermal modeling to confirm stability goals can be achieved
