1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Overview

ALS-U is an upgrade project to the LBNL Advanced Light Source (ALS). The ALS will be upgraded with a Multibend Achromat (MBA) lattice design to provide a soft x-ray source with orders of magnitude increase in brightness and coherence.

This SOW defines the procurement of critical Beam Position Monitor (BPM) jumper cable assemblies required for the upgraded Storage Ring (SR). These semi-rigid coaxial cables are essential for transmitting high-frequency signals from BPM pickups with minimal loss and distortion, ensuring accurate beam position measurement.

The cable assemblies shall be suitable for accelerator environments and must withstand vacuum bake-out temperatures up to 200 °C without degradation of mechanical or electrical integrity.

1.2 Description and Requirements

The purpose of this SOW is to define the requirements for the supplier to manufacture, test, and deliver a total of about 1,120 high-frequency, low-loss semi-rigid 141 coaxial cable assemblies with right angle SMA connectors for the ALS-U Storage Ring BPM system. The BPM jumper cable assembly must meet the following project-specific requirements:

• Precisely controlled impedance and phase matching (+-10 picosecond) to support

BPM measurement accuracy

• Low insertion loss at required operating frequencies 0.05 – 18 GHz to maintain signal integrity (S21 > 0.97 and +- 0.0015 at 500MHz)

• Vacuum bake-able at temperatures up to 200 deg C, with no degradation in electrical or mechanical performance

• Cable and connectors must be non-magnetic, with magnetic permeability μ ≤ 1.08.

• Right-angle SMA connectors on both ends, rated up to 200 deg C

• Mechanical formability and dimensional tolerances compatible with limited space constraints

1.3 Roles and Responsibilities

• University Procurement Representative: See subcontract for details.

• University Technical Representative: See subcontract for details.
