The IFE utilizes a refurbished U68 planar undulator as the source of high intensity synchrotron radiation (x-rays). The main components of the IFE are the undulator source, a fixed mask, two slits with integral XBPMs, and a test photon shutter. The first planned test will establish thermal fatigue design criteria for a copper alloy, CuCrZr, adopted recently for most of the high-power beam stops and slits. A beam stop of Soleil-II (France) made from powder CuCrZr will also be tested for its thermal fatigue life. Another planned test will evaluate a new XBPM design that will help improve the X-ray beam stability. In the second phase the IFE will be extended to a test beamline on the experimental floor. This poster serves to showcase its main features and capabilities, and present future possibilities. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
