An update on development of a cryogenically cooled-silicon mirror for the Advanced Light Source Upgrade project

In this paper we provide an update on the development of a novel cantilevered-liquid-nitrogen-cooled-silicon mirror for a new insertion device beamline included in the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U). The goals of this mirror development are to achieve diffraction limited performance, demonstrate reliability, minimize coolant flow induced vibration, and demonstrate carbon contamination prevention and cleaning techniques. In this paper we summarize the design requirements, the design of the mirror system, and prototype fabrication.
