9004199 - Supply of Booster Kicker Magnets for Diamond-II

Award outcome

Description

Located on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. DLS allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a coordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics, detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of this contract is to carry out the detailed design, manufacture, quality control, testing and delivery of 4 in-vacuum kicker magnets and power supplies. The main parts of all four magnets will be identical with individual matching pieces for each magnet. One magnet is used for injection and requires a rapid return to zero field, the other three are used for extraction and require a rapid rise to nominal field which is also stronger than in the injection magnet. It is envisaged that these differences should be achieved in the power supplies i.e. there will be two different power supply types, which should use as many common components as possible. The DLS design envisages a common magnet structure and main vessel for all 4 kickers with bespoke taper/matching pieces for each location. Use of a common power supply design tuned for the two different requirements is desired but different designs would be considered with appropriate justification.
