Cryogenic Design of a PrFeB Based Undulator

A PrFeB based cryogenic undulator has been built at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin HZB in collaboration with the Ludwig Maximilian University München LMU . LMU will operate the undulator at a laser plasma accelerator at the Max Planck Institut für Quantenoptik in Garching. The 20 period device has a period length of 9mm and a fixed gap of 2.5mm. The operation of a small gap device at a high emittance electron beam requires stable magnetic material. A high coercivity is achieved with PrFeB material cooled down to 20 30K. In this paper we present the mechanic, magnetic and cryogenic design and compare predictions with measured dat
