Superconducting Undulators
The group is also leading R&D of superconducting undulators (SCUs), which is of strategic importance for European XFEL facility upgrade. The group is responsible of the following relevant infrastructure:
-
a winding machine and impregnation chamber to build SCU mock-up coils in house,
-
development of two test stands (vertical bath SUNDAE1 and horizontal SUNDAE2) in collaboration with DESY to perform training and magnetic field measurements of SCU coils.
The development program is advised by the Superconducting Undulators Technical Advisory Committee (SCU-TAC).
