A cryogenically cooled in-vacuum undulator was installed in the ID6 test beamline of the ESRF in January 2008. This 2 metre long hybrid undulator has a period of 18 mm. The magnetic assembly is based on NdFeB permanent magnets cooled at a temperature close to 150 K . A liquid nitrogen closed loop is used for the cooling of the undulator. This cooling system is well adapted for achieving a uniform temperature along the magnetic assembly. An important part of the study was focused on the heat budget of the undulator under beam in the different filling modes delivered at the ESRF. The impact of the undulator on the ultra high vacuum of the ring was investigated with several warming/cooling cycles. This paper presents the main outcomes from this first experience. |
