Comparison of predesign parameters for mini-pole in-vacuo superconducting undulators

Mini-pole (short period) in-vacuo superconducting undulators, a vertical-winding racetrack coil structure, a horizontal-winding racetrack coil structure and a staggered array structure, were studied for use in the X-ray source in a 1.5 GeV or a medium-energy 3 GeV storage ring. The magnetic arrays are all installed in the ultra-high vacuum environment, required for passing electron beams. In a periodic length of 15 mm and a gap of 5 mm, field strengths of 1.5 T, 1.5 T and 0.7 T can be generated in the three different structures, respectively. Additionally, the staggered undulator with variable-period length or a translator structure with different periodic length can yield various deflection parameters k, by driving a longitudinal solenoid field of 0.8 T. Accordingly, this study addresses the magnet structure of and mechanism of the magnet, and the advantages and disadvantages of the structures of these undulators. The spectral characteristics and the magnetic field features of these undulators are also studied.
