A girder is used for several purposes:
1. Provides common platform (strongback) to precisely mount
several components.
2. Raises components to nominal beam height (acts as a
spacer).
3. Simplifies installation and alignment of the components in
the accelerator ring.
4. Expedites realignment (e.g. to compensate for floor
settlement).
The girder, however, adds another structural element to the
system. This adversely impacts beam stability due to amplification
of floor motion and thermal deformations.

Diamond and Boomerang girders are of similar design. Magnets are
clamped to precisely machined girders surface.The magnet support
(girder) shows a number of resonances in 15 Hz to 50 Hz frequency
range.Without cam movers, the calculated frequencies can be quite
high (f1 = 60 Hz forDiamond girder, N. Hammond, MEDSI 2002
).Vibration amplification (rms above 4 Hz): 10

LCLS Girder System
Cam movers are used for beam-based alignment.
Cams are attached to the upper girder flange to minimize thermal
deformations and to lower center of mass.
The first four modes correspond to girder deformations (flexure,
torsion, flexure, and flexure).
Modes 5 corresponds to undulator torsion.

Ground motion amplitude drops sharply at higher frequencies. The
first natural frequency of the support system (girder/magnets +
alignment mechanism) should be as high as possible (preferably, f1
>20 Hz).

Girder Design - External Viscoelastic Damping
Viscoelastic polymers have high loss factor. Viscoelastic films
absorb vibrational energy by high cyclic shear deformations.Many
viscoelastic materials are creep and radiation resistant.
Viscoelastic damping pads (or damping links) are simple in design
and can reduce rms vibration amplification to ~ 1.2

Girder Design Geometry and Supports A box-type cross section is
preferable for high stiffness in flexure (both directions)
and torsion. Full-length welds, gussets and plate stiffeners can
significantly increase the
overall stiffness.
Unsupported length of the girder should be kept as small as
possible (SPring8 girders are supported at six points).

Conclusion
Low center-of-mass to reduce vibrations (and thermal
deformations).- Why a beam-height of 1.4 m?
Compromise between high stiffness and ease-of-alignment:- Simple
alignment mechanism.- Fasten magnets directly on precisely machined
girders surface.
Reduce flow-induced vibrations and cross-talk by viscoelastic
damping.Vibration mitigation should not be at the expense of
thermal stability.
