Abstract

On beam line no. 1 of the VEPP-4M storage ring located at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, a new technological station has been put into operation. First and foremost, the station is intended for conducting visual didactic experiments with an active beam for teaching university students of relevant specialities and novice users, developing and testing measuring instruments, as well as conducting preliminary or additional measurements. Such direct involvement of students in the design of the beamline components and the deployment of different synchrotron techniques increase their motivation towards professional and effective use of synchrotron-radiation techniques and instrumentation development, which is greatly required for the ongoing project of the Synchrotron Radiation Facility “Siberian Circular Photon Source”. The modular design of the station enables the implementation of diverse techniques in development of the station. This work describes the optical scheme of the beamline and emphasizes the synchrotron-beam parameters therein with respect to other beamlines operating at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Selected examples of experimental results obtained by students using various techniques during training are given. In particular, the automized operation of a photodiode-based X-ray beam monitor is demonstrated, which is required for visualization of the incident X-ray beam, and for measuring its exact position and intensity. Implementation of the X-ray fluorescence analysis technique in a dedicated vacuum chamber enables the quantification of light elements, which is unattainable at other beamlines. The prospects for further development of the technological station are described.
