Abstract: In a superconducting magnet apparatus including one winding of coiled superconductor wire, another winding of coiled superconductor wire, a cooling device for supplying coolant to cooling vessels which contain the respective windings therein and a non-magnetic partition wall interposed between the cooling vessels containing the respective windings to airtightly separate them, with these windings being located at relative positions enabling mutual inductance therebetween, even if quenching occurs in the superconducting magnet apparatus. It is designed to not lose the magnetic repulsive force such that equipment traveling at high speed can be safely transferred at least to the nearest station. In addition, electromagnetic levitation traveling equipment on which the above-described apparatus is installed and a control method therefore is also described.

Abstract: An industrial compact synchrotron radiation source includes, for the purpose of prolonging lifetime of a charged particle beam, beam absorbers made of a material having a low photodesorption yield and disposed inside a bending section/vacuum chamber at at least positions upon which the synchrotron radiation is irradiated, and electrically conductive beam stabilizers disposed at positions inside the bending section/vacuum chamber which are distant by a predetermined distance from an orbit of the charged particle beam toward the outer circumferential wall of the bending section/vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A synchrotron radiation source and a method of making the same. As assembly of a beam absorber for absorbing synchrotron radiation beams and a piping for cooling the beam absorber is mounted in a charged particle beam duct of a bending section of the synchrotron radiation source for bending a charged particle beam. Fixed to at least one straight duct that is connectable to either of the opposite ends of the charged particle beam duch is a piping guide duct through which the beam absorber cooling piping is drawn to the outside, so that the assembly of the beam absorber and the beam absorber cooling piping can readily be mounted in the synchrotron radiation source.

Abstract: An industrial compact synchrotron radiation source which can improve vacuum evacuation performance to prolong life-time of a charged particle beam and supply highly intensive stable synchrotron radiation. In the source, a charged particle beam bending duct forming a vacuum chamber through which the charged particle beam circulates is encompassed by a bending electromagnet, and at least one SR guide duct for guiding the radiation to outside extends from the outer circumferential wall of the bending duct. The SR guide duct is connected through a gate valve to an SR beam line duct for guiding the SR beam to an object to be worked and a vacuum pump is disposed on the side, close to an orbit of the charged particle beam, of the gate valve. The SR guide duct extending from the outer circumferential wall of the bending duct takes a form of a divergent duct which is widened in accordance with a spreading angle of the SR beam traveling through the SR guide duct.
