Initial results from an in-vacuum undulator in the NSLS X-ray ring.
A short-period in-vacuum undulator for the NSLS X-ray Ring has been developed in a collaboration between SPring-8 and the NSLS, and has achieved its project design goals during commissioning studies. The device is called IVUN (in-vacuum undulator) and employs magnet arrays (31 periods, with an 11 mm period) developed at SPring-8, while the requisite vacuum chamber and mechanical systems were developed at the NSLS. At a magnet gap of 3.3 mm, IVUN produces 4.6 keV radiation in the fundamental, with useful photon fluxes in both the second and third harmonics. The magnet gap is adjustable between 2 and 10 mm. A brief overview of IVUN is presented, together with initial commissioning results: the dependence of electron-beam lifetime and bremsstrahlung on magnet gap, and the output radiation spectrum.
