The wire windings and magnetic performance of the mini-pole superconducting undulator (SCU) at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) are being improved. NbTi superconducting (SC) wire with a rectangular cross section 0.51 mm 0.77 mm was wound on a racetrack iron pole. The designed field strength was 1.4 T at excitation current 510 A. The bath LHe-cryostat cools the SC wire directly and uniformly using LHe. A stainless-steel (SS) beam duct (thickness 0.3 mm) is designed to separate the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) from the storage ring and the LHe. The SS beam duct is glued to the dummy arrays with resin epoxy. The dummy arrays provide a strong support for the beam duct, providing against deformity from a pressure differential. A vacuum test was performed with a short version of a beam duct (length 400 mm) at low temperature. This paper describes the construction of the magnet, the measurement of the field and the testing of the SS beam duct.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
