The present contribution reports the design of the pre-production Single Spoke Resonator Type 2 Cryomodule (ppSSR2 CM), developed in the framework of the PIP-II project at Fermilab. The innovative design is based on a structure, the strongback, which supports the coldmass from the bottom, stays at room temperature during operations, and can slide longitudinally with respect to the vacuum vessel. The Fermilab style cryomodule developed for the prototype Single Spoke Resonator Type 1 (pSSR1) and the prototype High Beta 650 MHz (pHB650) cryomodules is the baseline of the current design, which paves the way for production SSR1 and SSR2 cryomodules for the PIP-II linac. The focus of this contribution is on the results of calculations and finite element analysis performed to optimize the critical components of the cryomodule: vacuum vessel, strongback, thermal shield, and magnetic shield., Proceedings of the 31st International Linear Accelerator Conference, LINAC2022, Liverpool, UK

Within the collaborative effort between KIT and Bilfinger Noell GmbH the development of a full scale superconducting undulator with 20 mm period length (SCU20) has been completed. This device addresses the reliability and reproducibility aspects of the manufacturing process, allowing for the status of a commercial product. The conduction cooled 1.5 m long coils were characterized in the KIT horizontal test facility CASPER II and later assembled in the final cryostat. The system was extensively tested in the final configuration before installation in the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) to be the source of the NANO beamline in December 2017. Here we present the performance of the device., Proceedings of the 9th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2018, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the company Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) are running an R&D program on superconducting undulators (SCUs). The collaboration is working on a SCU with 20 mm period length (SCU20) for ANKA, the test facility and synchrotron radiation source, run by the IBPT. The 1.5 m long undulator coils have been tested in a conduction-cooled environment. This contribution describes the training, the stability and the thermal behavior of the coils., Proceedings of the 8th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2017, Copenhagen, Denmark

Superconducting insertion devices (IDs) can reach, for the same gap and period length a higher field strength compared to permanent magnet IDs. Their performance depends strongly on the magnetic field quality. While the magnetic measurements technology of permanent magnet based IDs made significant progress during the last years, for superconducting IDs similar major developments are necessary. As a part of our R&D program for superconducting insertion devices at the ANKA synchrotron light source a measurement setup for conduction cooled superconducting coils with a maximum length of 2 m was built and commissioned. In the CASPER II (Characterization Setup for Phase Error Reduction) facility the magnet coils can be trained and tested for maximum current and field quality, including the local field distribution as well as the first and second field integrals. In this paper we shortly describe the CASPER II setup and focus on the capability of this measurement device by presenting the results of a superconducting undulator mockup with a period length of 20 mm., Proceedings of the 6th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA

The Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the industrial partner Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) are col-laborating since 2007 on the development of superconducting undulators both for ANKA and low emittance light sources. The first full length device with 15 mm period length has been successfully tested in the ANKA storage ring for one year*. The next superconducting undulator has 20 mm period length (SCU20) and is also planned to be installed in the accelerator test facility and synchrotron light source ANKA. The SCU20 1.5 m long coils have been characterized in a conduction cooled horizontal test facility developed at KIT IBPT. Here we present the local magnetic field and field integral measurements, as well as their analysis including the expected photon spectrum., Proceedings of the 8th Int.
