Recent investigations with the cold bore superconducting undulator installed at ANKA indicate that the main contribution to the beam heat load is caused by electron bombardment. For a quantitative understanding of the problem a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics has been designed. Among other important parameters (heat load, pressure, etc) this device shall monitor the spectrum of the low energy electrons bombarding the wall. In this contribution we report on the measurements of the spectrum of the low energy electrons bombarding the wall of the cold vacuum chamber in a room temperature region of the ANKA storage ring performed using a in house developed retarding field analyzer (RFA). The calibration of the RFA performed at the national laboratories of Frascati is also described.

A new 15 mm period, 1.5 m long planar undulator is being fabricated by Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) for the ANKA synchrotron light source. In order to qualify the production process and to optimize both the quench protection scheme and the magnetic field correction system, a short prototype has been fabricated. The prototype has been tested in vertical configuration and liquid helium at 4.2K in the CASPER facility at ANKA. The magnetic field has been measured along the beam axis direction by Hall probes with a positioning precision of 3 μm. We report here on the field shimming scheme and the resulting performance of the coils.

A linac based coherent radiation source in the THz to mid-IR range is proposed. The TBONE machine will deliver pulses of radiation as short as a few fs in the frequency range from 0.1 to 150 THz with up to MW peak power. This combination of parameters will open up unprecedented opportunities in THz and infrared applications, such as e.g. microscopy or spectroscopy. This paper presents the main parameters and design considerations. Special emphasis is put on the study of suitable bunch compression and beam transport schemes.

Superconducting insertion devices (IDs) are very attractive for synchrotron light sources since they allow increasing the flux and/or the photon energy with respect to permanent magnet IDs. Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) is completing the fabrication of a 1.5 m long unit for ANKA at FZK. The period length of the device is 15 mm for a total of 100.5 full periods plus an additional matching period at each end. The key specifications of the system are: a K value higher than 2 and the capability of withstanding a 4 W beam heat load and a phase error of 3.5 degrees. In addition, during the injection phase of the machine, the nominal gap of 5 mm can be increased up to 25 mm. The magnets have been tested with liquid helium in a vertical dewar and are now being installed in the cryostat. This paper describes the technical design concepts of the device and the status of the assembly process.

Within the framework of a joint research activity of the European project IA-SFS (RII3-CT2004-506008) four synchrotron facilities have jointly developed diagnostic systems for superconducting undulators. Four work packages have been successfully completed: Design and construction of a test cryostat for field measurements; design and construction of a mock-up coil; field measurement and field error compensation; diagnostics and measurement of the spectrum of low energy electrons responsible for beam heat load in a superconducting undulator. The development advanced the knowledge of magnetic field error compensation considerably and might be of help in understanding the different beam heat load sources. Based on the development a second generation planar superconducting undulator with 15 mm period length for the synchrotron light source ANKA has been specified and procured.

Preliminary studies performed with the cold bore superconducting undulator installed in the ANKA storage ring suggest that the beam heat load is mainly due to the electron wall bombardment. Electron bombardment can both heat the cold vacuum chamber and induce an increase in the pressure because of gas desorption. In this contribution we compare the measurements of the pressure in a cold bore performed in the electron storage ring ANKA with the prediction obtained using the equations of gas dynamic balance in a cold vacuum chamber exposed to synchrotron radiation and electron bombardment. The balance results from two competitive effects: the photon and electron desorption of the gas contained in the oxide layer of the chamber wall and of the gas cryosorbed, and the cryopumping of the cold surface. We show that photodesorption alone cannot explain the pressure rise observed and that electron multipacting is needed.
