OBJECTIVE
Based on experience data (including measurements at
operating facilities) integrated with large-scale, stateof-the-art computational models:
make the best possible estimate as to what the vibration levels will
be once the NSLS II structure is placed on the green-field
assist in the optimization of the design of a quiet facility (treatment of
in-house sources, disruption of vibration paths, structural interfaces,
mat thicknesses, etc.)
BASIC APPROACH
and as a result
estimate vibration levels on the ring and experimental floor
identify structural provisions ensuring stability requirements

SUMMARY
Field vibration studies confirmed that the stability limits set for NSLS II
(<25 nm; 4-50 Hz) are satisfied by the selected site
Field studies at operating facilities have provided realistic levels of inhouse generated vibration as well as motion attenuation characteristics
Studies at other facilities also provided a good understanding of what
measures for noise suppression work and can be implemented into the
design of NSLS II
The use of benchmarked, large-scale dynamic analysis models
combined with data recorded at other facilities have provided a powerful
tool for assessing the anticipated motion at the NSLS II experimental and
ring floors
The combined computational model/actual noise data also provide the
means to optimize
The in-house noise suppression
The ring and/or experimental floor thicknesses

PATH FORWARD
Expand the site vibration study to include slow ground motions (low
frequency end of the spectrum) and assess their space and time
coherence for the NSLS II site
