Abstract

A superconducting wiggler (SCW) with a peak field of 4.3 T has recently been installed at NSLS-II. The wiggler generates a high-flux X-ray beam with a photon energy range from 20 keV to 200 keV for the High Energy Engineering X-ray Scattering beamline. This device induces significant distortions in the electron beam orbit and optics. We have corrected these adverse effects using feed-forward tables. The effects of the SCW on the electron beam emittance, energy spread, and bunch length were calculated and measured. The beam-induced heating of the cryogenic vacuum chamber was also studied. Finally, the superconducting wiggler has been commissioned for user operations.
