Abstract
Microwave-plasma undulator (MPU), as a standard short-period length undulator, is a desirable source of hard X-ray with continuous wide spectrum. In this article, the electron wiggling motion under the effect of transverse electric mode, propagating in cold plasma-filled waveguide, is investigated. The deflection parameter and period length of MPU in counter-propagating and co-propagating modes are calculated. Advantages of MPU over conventional and microwave undulators are investigated. It is shown that MPUs generate higher photon flux with overlapping harmonics compared to conventional standard undulators and cover wider energy range of synchrotron radiation. A rectangular MPU with period length of 2.98 mm and deflection parameter of 2.23 and a circular MPU with period length of 2.99 mm and deflection parameter of 2.23 are introduced. Also, a short variable period MPU, with the period length varying from 2.62 mm to 4.12 mm, and a helical MPU is introduced.
