Notice Title
DLSITT1065 - Supply of a Canted 3-Pole Wiggler for Diamond-II
Notice 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 co-ordinated 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 the contract is to design, manufacture, test and supply a canted three-pole wiggler (3PW) system as a complete unit, subject to the performance specification. The device will be used in the Diamond-II storage ring in straight K18. DLS has provided an outline design which needs to be verified and if necessary modified by the Supplier to meet the specification.
