Abstract

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a 1.5 to 1.9 GeV high-brightness electron storage ring operating at LBL that provides synchrotron radiation for a large variety of users. It is proposed to replace three of the thirty six 1.5 T, one meter long bend magnets with very short high-field superconducting (SC) dipoles. These magnets would provide bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to six beamlines with a critical energy of at least 6 keV that is much better suited for protein crystallography and other small-sample X-ray diffraction and adsorption studies, than is currently available at the ALS. The magnet design is described, including coil, yoke, magnetic field analysis, and cyrostat. A prototype magnet is under construction at LBL
