PerMaLIC is a LEAPS Internal Collaboration, i.e. a collaboration between the institutes of the LEAPS Consortium (
https://leaps-initiative.eu
), about development of Permanent Magnets for the future, ultralow emittance, light sources.
The use of Permanent Magnets in the new light sources has mainly two advantages: in the one hand, it allows a more compact distribution of magnets, since there is no need of coils and water cooling; in the other hand, it allows to reduce the running costs and the carbon footprint of the facility thanks to the removal of the power supplies associated to conventional electromagnets. However, the use of Permanent Magnets also presents some serious challenges. These challenges include the loss of flexibility for the correction of errors, correction that it is needed to ensure the proper beam dynamics performance and stability, and the long term stability of the magnets themselves due to the risk of radiation-induced demagnetization.
This 2nd Workshop, the 1st in-person, is intended to continue sharing between us the different developments on Permanent Magnets that each institute is doing, with the aim of finding common ground for synergies and possible collaborations.
