Training and Magnetic Field Measurements of the ANKA Superconducting Undulator

In this contribution we report the results of the training and of the local field measurements performed in a liquid helium bath of the ANKA superconducting undulator. The period length is 15 mm and the coils are 1.5 m long. The key specifications of the system are an undulator parameter K higher than 2 (for a magnetic gap of 5 mm) and a phase error smaller than 3.5 degrees. The superconducting undulator is planned to be installed in the ANKA storage ring by the beginning of 2011 to be the light source of the new beamline NANO for high resolution X-ray diffraction..

Instrumentation for Local and Integral Field Measurements of Superconducting Undulator Coils

Accurate magnetic field measurements are a prerequisite for the characterization and optimization of undulators. The precision for measuring the magnetic properties of conventional, i.e., permanent magnet based insertion devices, has undergone tremendous improvements over the past 10 to 15 years initiating a new era in synchrotron light sources worldwide; a similar break through is now necessary in the field of superconducting insertion devices. In this contribution we describe the planned instrumentation needed to perform magnetic measurements of the local field, and field integrals, of up to 2 m length superconducting undulator coils while in a cold-in-vacuum (helium free) environment.

Test of Short Mockups for Optimization of Superconducting Undulator Coils

ANKA and Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) collaborate to develop planar superconducting undulators for ANKA and low emittance light sources. We report here on the results of the training and magnetic field measurements on short mockup coils with 15- and 20-mm period length performed in the test facility CASPER I, that have qualified the wire and different winding schemes as promising to be applied to longer undulator coils.

COLDDIAG: A Cold Vacuum Chamber for Diagnostics

One of the still open issues for the development of superconducting insertion devices is the understanding of the heat load induced by the beam passage. With the aim of measuring the beam heat load to a cold bore and in order to gain a deeper understanding in the beam heat load mechanisms, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics is under construction. We plan to have access with the same set-up to a number of different diagnostics, so we are implementing: i) retarding field analysers to measure the electron flux, ii) temperature sensors to measure the total heat load, iii) pressure gauges, iv) and mass spectrometers to measure the gas content. The inner vacuum chamber will be removable in order to test different geometries and materials. COLDDIAG is built to fit in a short straight section at ANKA, but we are proposing its installation in different synchrotron light sources with different energies and beam characteristics. A first installation in DIAMOND is planned in June 2011. Here we describe the technical design report of this device and the planned measurements with beam.

Progress on the superconducting undulator for ANKA and on the instrumentation for R&D

Superconducting undulators show a larger magnetic field strength for the same gap and period length, as compared to permanent magnet devices, which allows to generate X‐ray beams of higher brilliance and with harder spectrum. The worldwide first short period length superconducting undulator is in operation since 2005 at the synchrotron light source ANKA in Karlsruhe [1]. To further drive the development in this field a research and development program is being carried out. In this contribution we report on the last progress of the construction of a 1.5 m long superconducting undulator with a period length of 15 mm, planned to be installed in ANKA beginning 2010 to be the light source of the new beamline NANO for high resolution X‐ray scattering. The key specifications of the system are an undulator parameter K higher than 2 (with a magnetic gap of 5 mm) and a phase error smaller than 3.5 degrees. Cryocoolers will keep the coils at 4.2 K for a beam heat load of 4 W. The ongoing R&D includes improvements in...

Performance of a Full Scale Superconducting Undulator with 20 mm Period Length at the KIT Synchrotron

Within the collaborative effort between KIT and Bilfinger Noell GmbH the development of a full scale superconducting undulator with 20 mm period length (SCU20) has been completed. This device addresses the reliability and reproducibility aspects of the manufacturing process, allowing for the status of a commercial product. The conduction cooled 1.5 m long coils were characterized in the KIT horizontal test facility CASPER II and later assembled in the final cryostat. The system was extensively tested in the final configuration before installation in the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) to be the source of the NANO beamline in December 2017. Here we present the performance of the device.
