A 4T superconducting wiggler for 1.4GeV synchrotron radiation facility Saga Light Source (SAGA-LS) was developed and manufactured. The wiggler consists of one superconducting magnet as main-pole and two normal conducting magnets as side-poles. The superconducting coils are wound with NbTi wires on iron poles, which are directly cooled by a 2-stage GM cryocooler. The structure of the wiggler is made for compactness and cryogen-free operation. This paper describes its magnet design and manufacturing processes.

Saga Light Source (SAGA-LS) is a synchrotron radiation facility with a 255 MeV linac and a 1.4 GeV storage ring. The spectral range covers from VUV to hard X ray region of about 23 keV. Improvement and development of the accelerator have been achieved from official opening of the facility. Stored current of the storage ring has been increased from 100 mA to 300 mA in these three years. An APPLE-2 undulator was developed and installed to a long straight section LS3. A field correction system for the undulator was developed to compensate precisely betatron tune shift, dipole kick and skew quadrupole. A superconducting wiggler is under construction. The peak field and critical energy are 4 T and 5.2 keV, respectively. The wiggler will provide synchrotron radiation in the 20-40 keV range. The wiggler consists of a superconducting main pole and two normal conducting side poles. The main pole is directly cooled by a small GM cryocooler and liquid helium is not used. In addition, laser Compton scattering experiment is under progress. A port to introduce CO₂ laser light was installed as a beam line BL1. First gamma ray was observed in December 2009.

An APPLE-II type variably polarized undulator was installed in the SAGA-LS storage ring in 2008. Following the installation, we have investigated influence of the undulator on the electron beam. Based on the measurements, we have developed a feedforward correction system to minimize the effects of the undulator. The correction system successfully compensates for closed orbit distortion (COD), betatron tune shift and a weak change in the betatron coupling. The standard deviation of the COD variation relative to the reference orbit and the tune shift are suppressed to less than 4 micron and 0.001, respectively, when the pole gap is changed at a fixed phase. The observed tune shift is interpreted in terms of a second order focusing effect evaluated by RADIA code. The simulated tune shift fairly agrees with the measurements. To minimize the effects on the betatron coupling, a wire-type skew quadrupole magnet mounted on the undulator duct is utilized. The skew field required for the coupling compensation is consistent with those predicted by field integral measurements. The feedforward correction reduces the effect to a relative change in the vertical beamsize of 5%.
