Specialists of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (NETI) have completed the preparation of working design documentation for scientific equipment for experimental station 1-4 "XAFS spectroscopy and magnetic dichroism" of the Siberian Ring Photon Source Center under construction (CCP "SKIF"), Interfax reported The first vice-rector of NSTU-NETI is Vasily Yanpolsky.
"The working documentation was sent to the Institute of High-Current Electronics SB RAS (ISE, Tomsk, integrator of the station creation – IF) for verification, now ISE checks and accepts it," he said, adding that after checking the documentation, NSTU-NETI will begin purchasing equipment, components and manufacturing elements.
All elements must be manufactured by the end of August 2024, and assembly should begin in September.
"We are making a block of white beam slits, a trap collimator of braking radiation, an attenuator (a device for reducing the intensity of electromagnetic vibrations), a water-cooled beryllium window, a radiation collimator receiver, a block of monochromatic beam slits and a monochromatic beam shutter," said Vasily Yanpolsky.
According to him, all this equipment brings a synchrotron radiation beam to a monochromator, which is designed to isolate a given range of energies from a photon beam, and receives radiation after it.
"It changes the beam in a certain way, forms its dimensions and power parameters. To manufacture this equipment, we need new technological processes, including work with vacuum systems," the speaker said.
"The beryllium window is a rather non–standard scientific equipment for our university, we work with different suppliers, get what we need from them and form the final product ourselves. We will work out new technologies on this element," added the first vice–rector of NSTU-NETI.
According to station 1-2 "Structural Diagnostics", the integrator of which is also ISE SB RAS, the working design documentation prepared by NSTU-NETI has been accepted, the equipment is being manufactured.
"Now the structural elements of the equipment are being manufactured, we must manufacture an exposure beam shutter, a slit block, a filter block, a beam shutter, a radiation collimator receiver," Vasily Yanpolsky said.
He clarified that these elements differ from those designed for station 1-4 due to the different purpose of the stations.
The project "Scientific Stations of NSTU in the Siberian Circular Photon Source Center" is being implemented within the framework of the Priority 2030 program.
