On SOLEIL at 2.75 GeV, producing hard X rays requires short period and small gap in-vacuum hybrid permanent magnet undulators. Besides, higher achieved peak magnetic field can be while operating at cryogenic temperature Tc (around 140 K). When cooling down the permanent magnets, the remanence Br increases down to a certain temperature at which the process is limited by the appearance of the Spin Reorientation Transition phenomenon. The coercivity is also increased at Tc which improves significantly the resistance to radiation. R&D studies, aims at replacing SmCo by NdFeB permanent magnets whose Br of 1.4 T, could enable to increase at least by 30% the peak magnetic field at Tc. Unfortunately such magnet grade can’t be heated to high temperature without degrading the magnetic properties, which limits the residual pressure that can be achieved. Temperature gradient and mechanical deformation are also technical issues. Different permanent magnet grades at Tc are characterized. Studies are also carried out on a small assembly of four periods. Residual pressures obtained with or without partial baking on standard U20 in-vacuum undulators are compared.
