Area of Science:

Materials Science
Synchrotron Radiation

Background:

The Materials Science beamline at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) has been operational since 2001.
A wiggler source was replaced in 2010 with a novel insertion device (undulator).

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the upgrade of the Materials Science beamline at SLS.
To detail the redesign of the front-end and optics to leverage the new undulator source.

Main Methods:

Redesign of the beamline's front-end and optics.
Installation of a novel undulator insertion device.

Main Results:

The new undulator provides unprecedented access to high photon energies.
The beamline upgrade allows for better exploitation of the increased brilliance of the new source.

Conclusions:

The detailed description of the beamline upgrade aims to provide didactic value.
Concepts and ideas from this upgrade can be adapted for other facilities.
