	The new BL06-XAIRA microfocus macromolecular crystallography beamline at ALBA synchrotron is currently under commissioning and foreseen to enter into user operation in 2024. The aim of XAIRA is to provide a 4-14 keV, stable, high flux beam, focused to 3×1 µm2 FWHM. The beamline includes a novel monochromator design combining a cryocooled Si(111) channel-cut and a double multilayer diffracting optics for high stability and high flux; and new mirror benders with dynamical thermal bump and figure error correctors. In order to reduce X-ray parasitic scattering with air and maximize the photon flux, the entire end station, including sample environment, cryostream and detector, is enclosed in a helium chamber. The sub-100nm SoC diffractometer, based on a unique helium bearing goniometer also compatible with air, is designed to support fast oscillation experiments, raster scans and helical scans while allowing a tight sample to detector distance. The beamline is also equipped with a double on-axis visualization system for sample imaging at sub-micron resolutions. The general status of the beamline is presented here with particular detail on the in-house fully developed end station design.

	Funding: MINERVA is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. In this paper we present the newly built beamline MINERVA, an X-ray facility at the ALBA synchrotron. The beamline has been designed to support the development of the X ray observatory ATHENA (Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics). MINERVA will host the necessary metrology equipment to integrate the stacks produced by cosine in a mirror module (MM) and characterize their optical performances. The optical and mechanical design is based on the XPBF 2.0 from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), at BESSY II already in use to this effect and its construction is meant to significantly augment the capability to produce MM. The development of MINERVA has addressed the need for improved technical specifications, overcome existing limitations and achieve enhanced mechanical performances. We describe the design, construction process and implementation of Minerva that lasted three years. Even though the beamline is still under a commissioning phase, we expose tests and analysis that have been recently performed, remarking the improvements accomplished and the challenges to overcome, in order to reach the operational readiness for the mirror modules mass production.

WEPPP034	ALBA Experimental Set Up for the Evaluation of Thermal Contact Conductance Under Cryogenic and Vacuum Conditions	199
	O. Traver Ramos, J.J. Casas, C. Colldelram, J.L. Frieiro, B. Molas, M. Quispe, M. Sanchez ALBA-CELLS, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain
	The Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) between two surfaces plays a very important role in the design of components in particle accelerators. The TCC depends on many variables such as surface finish, type of material, pressure, temperature, etc. As a general rule, the TCC comes from experimental results reported in the specialized literature. However, it is not always possible to find this information, especially if components are designed to operate in cryogenic and vacuum conditions, for this reason, assumptions are made that render results with high uncertainty. In this context, ALBA has designed an experimental set up to carry out axial heat flow steady state experiments for the evaluation of TCC under vacuum and cryogenic conditions. The minimum pressure achievable in the set up will be 1e-5 mbar while the temperature may vary between 80 and 300 K. The results will provide inputs to further optimize ALBA designs, including ALBA II, our ongoing fourth-generation synchrotron upgrade project. This paper describes the experimental setup, the thermal and mechanical design considerations and experimental validation tests.

WEPPP035	Design and Fluid Dynamics Study of a Recoverable Helium Sample Environment System for Optimal Data Quality in the New Microfocus MX Beamline at the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source	203

	XAIRA is the new microfocus MX beamline under construction at the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source. For its experiments, the quality will be optimized by enclosing all the end station elements, including the diffractometer in a helium chamber, so that the background due to air scattering is minimized and the beam is not attenuated in the low photon energy range, down to 4 keV. This novel type of chamber comes with new challenges from the point of view of stability control and operation in low pressure conditions while enabling the recovery of the consumed helium. In particular, it is planned to collect the helium gas with a purity > 99.5% and then to recover the gas at the ALBA Helium Liquefaction Plant. Besides, the circuit includes a dedicated branch to recirculate the helium used by the goniometer bearing at the diffractometer. This paper describes the fluid dynamic conceptual design of the Helium chamber and its gas circuit, as well as numerical results based on one-dimensional studies and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

THPPP016	Numerical and Experimental Studies to Evaluate the Conservative Factor of the Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient Applied to the Design of Components in Particle Accelerators	306

	The fluid boundary condition applied to the design of components in Particle Accelerators is calculated as a global variable through experimental correlations coming from the literature. This variable, defined as the Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient, is obtained using the correlations of Dittus and Boelter (1930), Sieder and Tate (1936), Petukhov (1970), Gnielinski (1976), among others. Although the designs based on these correlations work properly, the hypothesis of the present study proposes that the effectiveness of these approximations is due to the existence of a significant and unknown conservative factor between the real phenomenon and the global variable. To quantify this conservative factor, this work presents research based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and experimental studies. In particular, recent investigations carried out at ALBA confirm in a preliminary way our hypotheses for circular pipes under fully and non-fully developed flow conditions. The conclusions of this work indicate that we could dissipate the required heat with a flowrate lower than that obtained by applying the experimental correlations.

THPPP040	The Girder System Prototype for ALBA II Storage Ring	335
	L.R.M. Ribó, J.B. Boyer, C. Colldelram, N. González, L. Nikitina, F. Pérez ALBA-CELLS, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain
	The main goal of the upgrade of ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility into ALBA II is the transformation of the current accelerator into a diffraction limited storage ring, which implies the reduction of the emittance by at least a factor of twenty [1]. The upgrade will be executed before the end of the decade and will be profiting at maximum all existing ALBA infrastructures, in particular the building. The whole magnet layout of the lattice [2] has to be supported with a sequence of girders for their positioning with respect to another located in an adjacent girder with an accuracy of 50 µm to ensure the functionality of the accelerator. Besides the girders must enable the remote repositioning the magnets against the overall deformation of the site while ensuring the vibrational stability of the components on top. Easiness of assembling and installation of the different subsystems of the machine on top of the girder has to be considered also as a design requirement, in order to minimize the installation time. Two prototypes are planned to be built next year in order to check its full functionality [1]ALBA II Accelerator Upgrade Project Status, IPAC¿23 proceedings [2]Progress on the 6BA lattice for ALBAII, IPAC’23 proceedings
