Abstract

Closure of the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is anticipated in May 2003. An initial prototype of the injection "Y" has been completed. Electro-mechanical aspects of the design and test results of this prototype are presented. The design incorporates an offset quadrupole and a pulsed dipole to achieve the 10-degree bend required from the injection line. To accommodate penetration of the pulsed dipole magnetic field a glass gap has been inserted at the point of injection. A fixture was used to align the sections of the assembly and serves as a permanent mount plate. A similar method will be used for extraction of the beam after the electron ring has been closed.
