SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Areas of contribution
Tuning system scale-up– Scale-up existing tuning concept and test off-line
Tuning test cryostat– “Simple” extension of existing cryogen free cryostat: 1m => 1.5m– Primary purpose: will allow testing of tuning system in parallel with main cryostat fabrication avoid risk ⇒
of commissioning tuning system late in project
Nb3Sn 1.5m prototype– 18.5mm period, end corrections– Potential for significant performance enhancement or significantly increased performance margin (e.g.
temperature) vs NbTi
Testing– Participate in testing and tuning of SCU prototype in the ANL Test Cryostat
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Tuning concepts
Guidelines:– Want method that provides sufficient degree-of-freedom
correction– Want to minimize cool-down => warm-up cycles– Want minimal complexity
Approach:– Single active electrical circuit drives multiple correctors in series– Initially large selection of possible corrector locations
• At each location +Icor,0,-Icor are allowed
– Optimize distribution of active correctors to minimize trajectory and phase-shake errors.
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Tuning concept scale-up
General approach to field-errors:– Minimize errors via tight machining tolerances, assembly– Eliminate “global” steering and displacement via end correction coils– But… also provide a mechanism for local field error correction
Use detailed error analysis to develop algorithm for tuning concept scale-up– Many poles (N) can have correction loop carrying current ±Icor – Icor can be varied with main coil current I0
– N varies from undulator to undulator• selected based on measurements

Tuning concept: basics

Tuning concept - improvements
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Tuning concept scale-up: proposed R&D
Scale up tuning concept for application to 1.5m undulatorsDemonstrate concept off-line (no undulator) in advance of NbTi and Nb3Sn undulator readinessDevelop algorithms to optimize corrections based on measured field and/or first and second integrals
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Existing Test Cryostat: features
A cryogen-free test cryostat has been fabricated– Currently compatible with 1m prototypes– Uses 2 pulsed-tube cryocoolers– 500A HTS leads for main coil– 250A HTS leads for end correctors– 250A HTS leads for tuning system– Large number of possible diagnostics (thermal, voltage,…)

Test cryostat: details
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Test cryostat modifications for tuning development: proposed R&D
Extend existing cryostat ends to allow 1.5m testing– Need additional spools with flanges– Need appropriate cryogenic shielding
Modify existing pulsed wire system to accommodate new lengthCommission modifications via demonstration of cryogenic performanceUse test cryostat to demonstrate scale-up of tuning concept in advance of undulator prototype readiness
⇒ minimize schedule risk

Nb3Sn prototyping: history (1)Prototype 1 (2003): – Demonstrated that superconducting undulators operating at very high
current densities (JE>1500A/mm2, resulting in Jcu>6000 A/mm2 during a quench) can be passively protected without damage

SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
SCU development for FEL’s - ongoing
Systematic R&D undertaken to address key technological issues with high-performance superconducting undulators– Development of an SCU short model to
=> demonstrate field performance– Development of a magnet measurement system to
=> evaluate field quality – Development of a shimming concept to
=> correct trajectory and phase-shake errors
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
Nb3Sn prototyping: ongoing…
Nb3Sn prototype for FEL applications:– λ=20mm, gm=7.5mm, 50cm device– Optimized end design– Tight fabrication tolerancesDetailed tolerance and tuning analysis
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
End design (1)
Odd number of poles chosen for prototype– Non-ideal effects due to finite permeability and differential
saturation of end poles– End kick is dependent on the undulator field– Dipole field is generated by unbalanced yoke field
As field is ramped:Pole 2 saturates before 1
SCU R&D Review, Jan. 31, 2014
End design (2)Odd number of polesIdeal end design is used for the main coil (1/8, 1/2, 7/8)Kick corrector + field clamps placed at each end (only generates a kick)Dipole corrector is co-wound with the main coil in the first pocket (generates both kick and dipole)Strength of both correctors is varied as a function of the undulator field (look-up table)
