An undulator with double-helix coils on a cylindrical beam tube is the classical method of producing a helical magnetic field. This type of device, however, can produce only circularly polarized radiation and has limited horizontal aperture for beam injection. A planar superconducting undulator SCU) unit of helical field, which generates horizontal and vertical fields perpendicular to the beam direction, is inserted in between the magnetic poles of a vertical-field unit. This paper analyzes the magnetic fields and a scaling law of the SCU. The angle of the coil windings for the inserted unit is analyzed to maximize the horizontal field Bx. The range of the optimum rotation angle, for the range of gap/period ratio 0.1 - 0.6, is calculated to 30 - 40 degrees. |

A superconducting undulator (SCU) with a period of 14.5 mm is under development at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The undulator is designed to achieve a peak field on the beam axis of 0.8 T with an 8 mm pole gap and an average current density of 1 kA/mm2 in the NbTi coil. A 22-period half-section of a SCU has been fabricated. The SCU half-section was charged up to near the average critical current density jc of 1.4 kA/mm2, and the stability margin was measured by imposing external heat fluxes on the coil at 4.2 K in pool boiling LHe. The magnetic fields along the midplane of the SCU were measured using a Hall-probe field-mapping unit installed in a vertical dewar. The first test of a Nb3Sn short-section SCU reached an average current density of 1.45 kA/mm2, slightly higher than the jc for the NbTi SCU. |
