Title: Controlling beam trajectory and transport in a tapered helical undulator

Journal Article · · Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (Online)

In this paper we present a detailed discussion of the helical undulator system developed for high extraction efficiency experiments in the tapered-enhanced stimulated superradiant amplification regime. The design is based on permanent magnet technology and comprises two Halbach arrays orthogonally oriented and shifted by 90° with respect to each other. When used in low energy beamlines for THz generation, the electron beam trajectory and transport are particularly sensitive to the undulator off-axis fields so that it becomes important to complement on-axis field measurements with analysis and tuning of the higher-order field components. Here we describe how the pulsed wire measurement technique can be effectively used to retrieve on- and off-axis magnetic field characteristics of the undulator. A simple two-dipole model is developed to guide the final adjustments to the permanent magnet positions along the array to tune the quadrupole and sextupole components of the field.
