  In the framework of the SwissFEL project, an R&D activity concerning in-vacuum undulator technology is ongoing at the Paul Scherrer Institut. The magnetic field configuration of the hard X-ray SwissFEL undulators has been designed on purpose for a single pass machine. Moreover the permanent magnet material (NdFeB) is manufactured following a novel procedure (Dy diffused in the grain boundaries) to improve the coercivity versus remanence. The assembly and tests of a 44 periods hybrid magnetic structure are presented. Procedures for the magnetic field, trajectory and phase optimization are reported versus experimental results.

  The SwissFEL will have in the base line two undulator lines for the hard- and soft x-ray: U15 in-vacuum and U40 / UE40 APPLE II type undulators with 12 and 15 modules of 4m length each. All undulators are equipped with the same frame and gap drive system to profit best from the series production. The frame is built up from two identical bases and two sides made of cast mineral. In this design, the frame transfers its stiffness to the I-beam through a backlash-free wedge based gap drive system. The interfaces to the inner I-beam for the in-vacuum undulator have been rearranged and reduced significantly. Magnets and poles are carried by an extruded Aluminum block-keeper, which allows an automated tuning of the magnet structure. The prototype of the support structure has been built up during spring 2012 and measuring results will be presented. The full prototype shall be ready for the end of 2012.
