IntroductionIn low-and medium-energy storage rings for synchrotron radiation (SR) production, it is necessary to use high-performance insertion devices (IDs) in order to meet the increasing demand for high X-ray flux to perform life science and material science, since the maximum beam energy and beam current cannot be changed in storage rings without major rebuilds of the accelerator systems.Superconducting (SC) wigglers (SCWs) are high-performance IDs suitable for extending the spectral range of SR storage rings towards shorter wavelengths and harder X-rays. The SCWs can be either wave length shifters (WLS) with a few magnet poles with very high magnetic field or multipole wigglers (MPW) with a large number of poles with
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.
