Title: Helical superconducting undulator for 3rd and 4th generation of synchrotron light source and FELs

Abstract

A helical superconducting undulator includes a cylindrical magnetic core through which a bore hole allows the passage of charged particles. A single superconducting wire wraps the magnetic core guided by helical flights and cylindrical protrusions, to create interleaved helical windings on the magnetic core. An electrical current may be supplied to the superconducting wire to generate a periodic helical magnetic field in the bore. The helical superconducting undulator also includes a strong-back enclosure that acts as an epoxy mold during epoxy impregnation, a structural support to ensure straightness of the undulator after epoxy impregnation, and assists in cooling and thermal control of the magnetic core and superconducting wire during device operation.
