Abstract The BioXAS beamline at Canadian Light Source installed a hybrid wiggler in 2013. Quantitative studies building on the experience of other facilities suggest the wiggler's NdFeB magnets are at risk of demagnetization due to radiation induced by the synchrotron's 2.9 GeV electrons. We use a phenomenological model to convert simulated peak demagnetizing fields into a radiation dose corresponding to a chosen %-demagnetization, and compare against an estimated dose per year due to injected beam. We find that injecting with the wiggler closed will cause 1% demagnetization in sections of its magnet blocks within 2 years of operation, assuming a worst case scenario. The wiggler has thus far been forced open for injections, but this will cease to be an option when CLS moves to top-up operation. In a related test, qualitative measurements of radiation during injections with the wiggler closed were taken by covering its magnets in Polaroid film. We find that radiation drops significantly when the injection efficiency is well-tuned. Our results suggest the wiggler will not receive damaging levels of radiation at closed gap so long as the injection system remains optimized.
