Description

The Korea 4th-Generation Synchrotron Radiation (4GSR) accelerator requires exceptionally high mechanical stability to ensure reliable beam operation with an extremely small beam size. To achieve this, a robust grid-er system is essential for supporting accelerator components such as magnets, vacuum chambers, and beam position monitors (BPMs). The girder system must suppress vibrations originating from the ground to prevent disturbances in the electron beam trajectory, while also maintaining sufficient mechanical rigidity to support heavy components like electromagnets. In the Korea 4GSR project, the girder system is required to maintain a misalignment tolerance within ±100 μm and limit vibration amplitudes to less than 10% of the beam size to ensure beam stability. However, with a storage ring circumference of approximately 800 meters, meeting these specifications poses significant challenges. This study presents the development of a girder system using finite element analysis (FEA) methods to achieve both mechanical stiffness and adjustability, thereby ensuring the required beam stability.
