Considerations of SmCo vs NdFeB

• SmCo is known to have a greater resistance to radiation-induced demagnetization than NdFeB, and the Sm2Co17 variety is better than SmCo5.

• Higher coercivity has been found to correlate with higher resistance to radiation damage.

• A new grade of NdFeB magnet (HILOP by Hitachi) has a higher coercivity than standard NdFeB. We estimate that the higher coercivity might make a difference of 6% in the radiation dose needed to cause a 1% decrease in the field.

• Using SmCo instead makes a bigger difference: Sm2Co17 gives a damage level of less than 0.2% out to as high as they exposed the magnets. Exposure to cause 1% loss in NdFeB ranged from ~23 to 30 x 10^13 electrons (at 2 GeV), whereas the dose to SmCo went out to 40, 65, or 175 x 10^13 electrons. So on that scale SmCo wins hands down [1].

Reasons for Our Choice

Does the extra resistance of as-purchased SmCo make a practical difference in the longevity of the magnets in LCLS so that it is worth going that way?

Look at how long it might take for damage:Say it takes 3x10^14 electrons at 2 GeV to lose 1% in NdFeB field.That’s 5x10^-5 C, or 50 microcoulomb.If we can only tolerate 0.01% loss in strength, then we can only tolerate 500 nC.The beam will be up to 1 nC per pulse, with pulses at 120 HzAssuming a loss rate of 10^-6 of the beam, how long to damage magnets? current x time x loss rate = 120 nA x time x 10^-6 = 500 nC gives time = 4 x

10^6 sec = 1000 hrs = 1.5 monthThe SmCo might last 15 times longer (0.2% loss at ~100 x10^13 electrons

instead of 1% loss at 30 x 10^13 electrons), which would take the time to 22 months, but that’s still not good enough. The beam loss rate in the undulators really has to be infinitesimal.

Continued

• SmCo magnets are slightly weaker than NdFeB, by about 10%. For a 30-mm-period undulator, that would translate into a gap difference of nearly 1 mm.

• SmCo magnets are more expensive, by about a factor of 2.

• We have not yet bought a set of SmCo magnets, so we don’t know first-hand how uniform the quality is, though Shin-Etsu claims they could meet the same requirements with SmCo as they do with NdFeB.
