SINBAD, a brilliant IR source from the DAΦNE storage ring

Abstract

SINBAD is the Italian IR synchrotron radiation beamline, designed to work at wavelengths greater than 10 µm. It is being installed on DAΦNE, a new collider that is designed to work at 0.51 GeV with a beam current up to 5 A. Due to such a high current, the IR extracted from a bending magnet will be more brilliant than that of a black body at 2000 K by two orders of magnitude at 100 µm. The beamline optical system, projected by ray-tracing simulation, consists of six mirrors that first focus the radiation on a wedged CVD diamond-film window and then transfer the collimated beam to the experimental area where a Michelson interferometer will be installed.
