Performance of Advanced Photon Source insertion devices at high photon energies (50–300 keV)

Abstract

Since high-energy photons (≳50 keV) are well suited for certain types of x-ray scattering experiments, we present calculated results for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Undulator A and APS Wiggler A at high energies. The undulator calculations include the effect of magnetic field errors, which is to smear the high-order spectral harmonics. At their anticipated initial minimum gap settings, Undulator A should perform better than Wiggler A from the point of view of most high energy experiments up to at least ∼280 keV. A comparison of APS insertion devices to high energy insertion devices in other synchrotron radiation laboratories is also provided.
