CASPER- A magnetic measurement facility for superconducting undulators

Abstract

For a given gap and a given period length superconductive cold-bore undulators have a higher field strength compared to permanent magnet undulators. The measurement of the field and the field quality in the cold bore is demanding since the position of the Hall-probes have to be precise within a few microns over a distance of one to two meters. At the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe two measuring facilities are under construction which allow to measure short mock-ups and undulators with a length of up to two meters. In this paper the two devices called CASPER (ChAracterization Setup for Phase Error Reduction) are described.
