What are common components?
components on beamline to qualify/quantify the xray laser beam
(how many types of common components exist? 5-20)
Imagers/Power Profile Monitors (PPM)
Wave Front Sensors (WFS)
Solid Attentuators (AT)
Collimators
Differential Pumps
needed at every hutch (and FEE), thus duplicates exists
instead of building unique to each hutch, standardize between hutches
and there are components shared between common components, so standardize those too
the mount to granite, vacuum chamber, DIN rail, paddle position manipulator, water cooling, other?
ideally all the same across all common components, though edge cases exist
timeline
past
lcls-1: AMOcame first - needed tools to qualify beam, built them as needed
current (fall 2021)
lcls-2 (=l2si?): hard xray line came next - standardized common component
TMO, RIX, TXI have common components with added water cooling hookups to dissipate heat - will see important use in future
future
lcls-2-HE: in progress - redesign with water cooling/novel materials to dissipate excess heat from higher repetition rate of xray laser
