  LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short intense and coherent pulses in the soft X rays region (down to 7 nm on the fifth harmonic). It comprises a free electron laser in the seeded configuration (High order Harmonic in Gas seeding and Echo Enable Harmonic Generation) using a conventional linear accelerator of 300 MeV. The FEL beamline including 15 m of in vacuum (potentially cryogenic undulators) of 15 and 30 mm period is designed so as to also accommodate a Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) ranging from 0.3 to 1 GeV, relying on electron beam parameters produced and accelerated by either the 60 TW laser of LOA or by the 10 PW APOLLON laser of ILE. After the completion and testing of the FEL with the conventional accelerator installed inside the SOLEIL booster inner area, the FEL line can be transported to a LWFA. A laser could alternatively be implemented at SOLEIL for starting testing the principles of a fifth generation light source.

  Short period, high field undulators can enable short wavelength FEL at low beam energy, with decreased gain length, thus allowing much more compact and less costly FEL systems. A R&D programme for the construction of a 2 m long 18 mm period CPMU is under progress at SOLEIL. The use of PrFeB which features a 1.35 T remanence (Br) at room temperature enables to increase the peak magnetic field at 5.5 mm minimum gap, from 1.04 T at room temperature to 1.15 T at a cryogenic temperature of 77 K. For FELs, we can reach higher magnetic field of 1.91 T at lower gap of 3 mm. Pr was chosen instead of Nd magnetic material, because of the no appearance of the SRT phenomenon. Different corrections were performed first at room temperature to adjust the phase error, the electron trajectory and to reduce the multipolar components. The mounting inside the vacuum chamber enables the fitting of a dedicated magnetic measurement bench to check the magnetic performance of the undulator at low temperature. The results of the magnetic measurements at low temperature and the comparison with the measurement at room temperature are reported. A U18 CPMU will be used in LUNEX5 project at SOLEIL.
