  Diamond Light Source has two superconducting wigglers and one cryocooled undulator installed serving three beam lines. The cryocooled undulator (cpmu) has been operating since August 2010 while the superconducting wigglers have been operating for more than 4 years (SCW-1) and 2 years (SCW-2). We will report on the first year of operation of the cpmu including details of its spectral output and cryogenic performance. Our experience of the cooling system and measures taken to ensure reliability and to minimize the risks of a prolonged downtime are also presented. The two superconducting wigglers are exposed to a high heat load due to the beam heating of the inner liner. Until recently this resulted in a much higher helium consumption than specified and so recently a new liner has been fitted to SCW-1 and new re-condensers to SCW-2. In addition a thermal bridge has been made between the RF tapers and the outer heat shield of both SCW-1 and SCW-2. The results of these improvements will be presented.

  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.
