SCU -
SUPERCONDUCTING UNDULATORS
How it works
The KIT-BILFINGER NOELL SCUs exploit superconductivity to increase the strength of the alternating magnetic field on beam axis. They operate at cryogenic temperatures, but do not require liquid helium, as they are fully conduction cooled. The flexible UHV beam pipe gives the possibility to open the gap in cold conditions (when the coils are not powered), allowing for increased safety. Beam transparency is assured by the use of integrated corrector coils.
Features
- RELIABLE: our SCUs demonstrated long term operation in the KIT ring and serve as source for user beamlines
- BRILLIANT: In terms of peak field, SCUs outperform devices with competing technologies
- PLUG´n PLAY: No liquid helium required
- OUTSTANDING UHV: No impact of the cold bore on beam operation
- COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE: KIT and Bilfinger Noell can tailor each device to customer needs
Bilfinger Noell’s superconducting Insertion Devices for the US!
Bilfinger Noell supplies a unique superconducting wiggler (SCW) to the renowned Brookhaven National Laboratory in the USA. The outstanding product is required for the HEX beamline of the highly optimized 3GeV storage ring of the NSLS-II synchrotron to provide high energy x-rays to the users.
Bilfinger Noell is the supplier for cryogen free superconducting insertion devices. This technology enabling utmost brilliance enjoys the highest attention in the light source community.
