First characterization of a superconducting undulator mockup with the CASPER II magnetic measurement system

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.
