A compact three-pole superconducting magnet with an aluminum warm beam duct was designed and fabricated as an X-ray source in a 1.5 GeV Taiwan Light Source (TLS) or the 3 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). Three pairs of racetrack NbTi superconducting coils were connected to one main power supply to create a central field of over 6.5 T. Two low current trim power supplies were connected in parallel to the two side pairs of the coil to eliminate the first and second field integrals. The wavelength shifter magnet was cooled in a pool boiling helium bath. Helium boils off at 1.3 L/hr. The vapor-cooled current lead is used to pass the 350 A excitation current. The magnetic field strength was measured at room temperature using a Hall probe and a stretched wire system. The magnet was tested successfully to 308 A, at which the central field exceeded 6.5 T, and the peak field on coil was 8.2 T. The design and construction of the magnet and the cryostat, the quenching protection, and field measurement results will be presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A 0.96 m with 16 poles superconducting wiggler is fabricated in-house at NSRRC. The wiggler produced a magnetic field of 3.1 T for a 61 mm period with a pole gap of 19 mm. Three 5-pole prototype magnets using various pole materials from low carbon steel, vanadium permendure steel and holmium are tested and measured to verify the magnetic field performance in the testing dewar. This work describes the design and construction of a magnet and cryostat system. Furthermore, this work presents the results of magnet tests and the field performance of the compact superconducting wiggler. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
