  Superconductive insertion devices (IDs) have higher fields for a given gap and period length compared with the state-of-the-art technology of permanent magnet IDs. One of the still open issues for the development of superconductive insertion devices is the understanding of the heat intake from the electron beam. With the aim of measuring the beam heat load to a cold bore and the hope to gain a deeper understanding in the underlying mechanisms, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics was built. It is equipped with the following instrumentation: retarding field analyzers to measure the electron flux, temperature sensors to measure the beam heat load, pressure gauges, and mass spectrometers to measure the gas content. The flexibility of the engineering design will allow the installation of the cryostat in different synchrotron light sources. The installation in the storage ring of the Diamond Light Source is foreseen in November 2011. Here we report about the technical design of this device, the factory acceptance test and the planned measurements with electron beam.

  Superconducting insertion devices (IDs) are very attractive for synchrotron light sources since they offer the possibility to enhance the tuning range and functionality significantly by period length switching. Period length switching can be realized by employing two or more individually powerable subsets of superconducting coils and by reversing the current in a part of the winding. So far, the first demonstration mock-up coil allowing period length tripling was fabricated and tested successfully. Here, we report on the feasibility of a superconducting switch operating at 4.2 K, immersed in a liquid Helium bath as well as under conduction cooled conditions.

  The tunability of an insertion device can be increased by period length switching, which in superconducting insertion devices (IDs) can be achieved by reversing the current in separately powered subsets of the superconducting windings. The feasibility of this concept has been experimentally proven. We study here different possibilities to tailor the needs of beamlines of third generation light sources: FEM simulations performed to compute the magnetic field on axis of such devices with different period lengths are reported together with the spectral simulations.

  The performance of superconducting insertion devices depends strongly on their magnetic field quality. It is of fundamental importance to characterize the magnetic properties of insertion devices accurately before installation in synchrotron light sources. Thus a main part of the R&D program for superconducting insertion devices at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology focuses on quality assessment. This contribution describes the instrumentation to perform magnetic measurements of the local field, of the field integrals and of the multipole components of superconducting undulator coils in a cold in vacuum (cryogen free) environment. It focuses on the outcome of the factory acceptance test together with results of first field measurements performed with mock-up coils.

  In a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), excited by a femtosecond laser pulse electrons are accelerated to several 100 MeV within a few centimeters. The energy spread of the electron beam is relatively large and varies from shot to shot. In order to obtain monochromatic photons in an undulator despite the energy spread, the following idea was proposed. Two bending magnets and a drift space in between produces dispersion so that particles with different energies have different transverse positions. The beam enters a non-planar undulator, e.g. cylindrical pole geometry, where the K-value also varies with transverse position. If the two variations in the transverse direction (particle energy and K-value) compensate each other the generated light is more monochromatic than with a conventional planar undulator. In this paper such a modified undulator design optimized for the JETI-LWFA in Jena is presented. An experiment to test this concept is in preparation.

  Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA) emit electrons with energies of a few 100 MeV at very short bunch lengths while having a compact design. However, electron bunches from LWFA show a larger energy spread than those of conventional accelerators. This is a challenge when using these bunches e.g. to generate radiation in an undulator. A possible strategy to cope with that is to spectrally disperse the bunch and match the resulting spatial distribution with a spatially varying undulator field amplitude. For realizing the dispersion a pair of dipole magnets is used. The electrons leaving this dipole chicane have to meet certain requirements imposed by the undulator: In the deflection plane the beam has to be collimated and its energy distribution must match the undulator field. In the other transversal plane the beam has to be focussed on the center of the undulator keeping the value of the beta function small. To include this in the compact design of the setup, a combination of specially designed quadrupole and sextupole magnets is employed. In this contribution the design of the setup and the results of the particle tracking through this chicane are presented.

  We propose a versatile THz source named FLUTE (“Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment”) based on a 30 - 50 MeV S-band linac with bunch compressor, that shall not only provide high field THz pulses applications but shall also serve as a test facility to study important accelerator physics issues. This is also of importance in view of the planned utltra-broadband THz to mid infrared user facility TBONE. Special emphasis is put on studies of bunch compression and beam stability as a function of bunch charge (0.1-5 nC) and of different generation mechanisms of coherent radiation (CSR, CER, CTR). This paper describes the design and layout of the proposed FLUTE machine and presents results of beam dynamic calculations with the tracking programs ASTRA and CSRtrack.
