The quench properties of two 42-pole prototype superconducting undulators (SCUs) (one having a steel core the other with an aluminium core) have been tested. Since the SCUs have relatively low stored energy, the quench protection has relied on an over-voltage protection feature of the power supply, and the inherent quench back from the core. Concerns about conductor damage (during a quench) due to heating and high induced voltages were raised. The maximum conductor temperatures and voltages have been deduced from voltage and current measurements during a quench. The deduced maximum hot-spot temperature of the conductor was less than 150 K and the maximum voltage across each SCU coil was less than 300 V.

A short period superconducting undulator (SCU) is being developed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The on-axis field of the prototype 1.6-cm period 42-pole SCU0 was measured with a cryogenic Hall probe system. Typical permanent magnet undulators provide end-field correction by decreasing the strength of the magnets on both ends of each jaw. In the case of the SCU0, a set of correction coils was wound on the two end grooves of each of the steel cores along with the main coils to provide the required end fields. These correction coils were connected in series and energized with one power supply to provide simple and symmetrical operation. The measured phase errors of the SCU0 were below 2 degrees rms without any local magnetic tuning of the device.

Short-period superconducting undulators are being developed as part of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade program. The first test device is in fabrication. Before installation into the storage ring, the magnetic performance of the undulators will be characterized. The magnetic measurement facility routinely used for measuring and tuning conventional undulators cannot be employed for superconducting devices, so a new measurement system is being designed and built. The system is mechanically mounted on the undulator cryostat and uses a heated tube in the cold undulator bore to guide a Hall probe or measuring coils. A specially designed three-Hall sensor assembly allows measurement of the vertical and horizontal components of the magnetic field and the determination of the height of the magnetic midplane. A set of measuring coils is mounted on carbon-fiber tubes that can be translated and rotated in the undulator bore to measure the field integrals and their multipole components. The design of the measurement system and its construction status is described in this paper.

This paper compares calculated on-axis fields for short- period superconducting undulators (SCUs) using Nb3Sn superconductor with two different insulation thicknesses, 0.02 mm and 0.05 mm. When the insulated conductor diameter remained the same, the on-axis fields using the thinner insulation were higher by about 8 – 15% for a period range of 15 – 10 mm. When the conductor diameters with the thicker insulation were made larger than the conductors with the thinner insulation, the differences were reduced to be about 6 – 12%.
