Sažetak
The technological characteristics of the Swiss Light Source (as well as of other newly planned synchrotron radiation facilities around the world) pose severe challenges on the mechanical engineering design of the respective equipment and instrumentation. In fact, the increasing requirements for resolution and stability of the electron and photon beams have to be addressed with innovative mechanical engineering solutions in the fields of: precision positioning (the needed resolutions and accuracies in the nanometre and microradian range), high heat loads (in the case of SR optical elements these can often be higher than those on the surface of the Sun), vibration measurements and suppression (with required dynamic stabilities again often on the nm scale), high and ultra-high vacuum issues (with the respective limits imposed on the available choice of materials to be used, their machining, handling and cleaning procedures, ...), new mechanical engineering experimental techniques, original analytical and numerical modeling techniques, novel data base management systems. In this work the highlights of the activities of the SLS Mechanical Engineering Group in the past couple of years will be presented in an illustrative way. In the framework of the SLS SR machine itself, the activities wich resulted in an optimized design of the storage ring support, positioning and position monitoring systems, the 3rd harmonic super-conducting RF system and the diagnostig beamline will be addressed. A section dedicated to mechanical engineering aspects dealt with in the design of the in-vacuum undulator (U24), the low-gap wiggler (W61) and the two soft X-ray undulators (UE56 and UE212) will follow. An overview of the activities carried out in designing the SLS beamline components and in meeting the respective high precision requirements will then be given. The work will be concluded with the summary of the analytical, numerical and experimental techniques used in the outlined activities, as well as of the skills acquired and developed by the SLS Mechanical Engineering Group in this process.
