A novel Stacked Multi-Level (SML) modulator topology optimized for long pulse and high average power applications has been developed at ESS. It utilizes six identical modules connected in series at the HV output side and fed in parallel from the low voltage side. Each one is formed by one HF inverter, one step-up transformer, one HV rectifier bridge and one HV passive filter. They are supplied, in
The workshop brings together differing perspectives on what makes research data possible. How data is made represents an on-going negotiation between a number of elements. It reflects, firstly, the nature of disciplines and thecomplex way this is linked to cultures of research data and data sharing. Secondly, data is made across the complex temporalities within different practices of its managemen
The aim of this work is the development of a thermodynamically consistent fully coupled thermo-viscoplastic material model for metals.The model is based on a split ofthe free energy into a thermo-elastic, a thermo-plastic and a purely thermal part and covers nonlinear cold-work hardening and thermal softening. Nonlinear temperature dependent effects are accounted for the elastic moduli, the plasti
An insertion device lab was setup at MAX IV Laboratory and the production of insertion devices, mainly outof-vacuum is ongoing and aided by new magnetic measurement systems. A new 5.5 m long Hall probe bench is used for field map measurements and a new hybrid flip coil and stretch wire system will be used for field integrals of full devices as well as individual magnet blocks characterisation. Thi
The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring magnets are integrated "magnet block" units consisting of several consecutive magnet elements precision-machined out of a common solid iron block. In the 3 GeV ring, there are 140 magnet blocks containing a total of 1320 magnet elements. During the manufacturing phase of the project, a field measurement was performed for each magnet element, by Hall probe and/or by ro
The construction of the European Spallation Source, ESS, started in summer 2014. At the site in Lund, the accelerator tunnel will be completed at the time of IPAC16, while prototyping and manufacturing or preparations for manpower contributions are going on in more 23 laboratories distributed over the 12 European countries collaborating on the accelerator project. Major technical milestones have b
Real-time beam modeling has been used in accelerator diagnostics for several decades. Along the way, the theory for matrix calculations of linear forces has matured, allowing for fast calculations of a beam's momentum and position distributions. This formalism becomes complicated and ultimately breaks down with high-order beam elements like sextupoles. Such elements can be accurately modeled with
The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring operates with beam of high current and ultralow emittance. These beam parameters in combination with the small effective aperture enhance possible collective beam instabilities. Three passive harmonic cavities are installed to introduce bunch lengthening and tune spread, leading to decoupling of the bunch spectrum from the machine effective impedance and mitigating in
The MAX IV laboratory is a Swedish national laboratory for synchrotron radiation hosted by the Lund University. It will operate two storage rings to produce synchrotron light of very high intensity and quality over a broad wavelength range. A linear accelerator will feed these storage rings in topping up mode as well as serve as an electron source for a short pulse facility built on its extension.
A National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS has been recently built in Krakow, Poland. The accelera tor is in commissioning phase. The control system is in operation and provides all functionalities required for the commissioning process. The system is based on Tango Controls and has been developed with strong collabora tion with MAX-IV, Lund Sweden and the Tango Commu nity. Protections system
Many current and future synchrotron light sources employ harmonic cavities to lengthen the electron bunches in order to reduce the emittance dilution caused by intrabeam scattering. In some cases, the harmonic cavities may be tuned to fulfill the flat potential condition. For this condition, a large increase in the threshold currents of transverse coupled-bunch instabilities has been predicted and
The FACET-II facility, currently being designed at SLAC, will contain a small 20 m circumference, 335 MeV, positron damping ring. The ring has to fit in the existing linac tunnel, meaning that a compact lattice with short distances between magnets is required. The detailed magnet design is done in Opera-3d, with a finite element model of a full damping ring arc being simulated. This article presen
Inspired by the observation that capacity contracts are used by some retailers to increase their transport provider's investments in green transport solutions, we investigate and compare a service provider's optimal investment, and its environmental implications under a volume and a capacity contract respectively. We solve the service provider's investment problem under the assumption that the ret
The notion of development blocks (Dahmén, 1950, 1991) suggests the co-evolution of technologies and industries through complementarities and the overcoming of imbalances. This study proposes and applies a methodology to analyse development blocks empirically. To assess the extent and character of innovational interdependencies between industries the study combines analysis of innovation biographie
Choice blindness is the failure to detect a discrepancy between a choice and its outcome. The misinformation effect occurs when the recollection of an event changes because new, misleading information about the event is received. The purpose of this study was to merge the choice blindness and misinformation effect paradigms, and thus examine whether choice blindness can be created for individuals’
OBJECTIVE: In observational epidemiologic studies, higher plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been associated with increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). DNA sequence variants that decrease cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene activity increase plasma HDL-C; as such, medicines that inhibit CETP and raise HDL-C are in clinical development. Here, we test the
