Superconducting undulators (SCUs) employ superconducting coils, and due to high critical current density in a superconductor, outperform undulators based on permanent magnets in terms of the level of magnetic field. So far, most of the SCUs, including devices built at Advanced Photon Source (APS), use Nb-Ti superconductor. Utilization of Nb3Sn conductor offers a possibility to increase the undulator field even further but requires to overcome certain challenges that are described in this paper. Based on experience of developing Nb3Sn accelerator magnets at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, possible solutions are discussed. The achievable field levels for Nb3Sn version of existing APS and the future APS-Upgrade superconducting undulators are also presented and discussed. |
