Abstract:
Undulators are widely used in synchrotron storage rings
and free-electron laser facilities. With the advent of low-
temperature superconductors (LTS), a new generation of
superconducting undulators (SCUs) emerged, including the
recent new THz LTS undulator for FLUTE. At KIT, state-
of-the-art magnetic and cryogenic measurement capabilities
— provided by the Magnet and Cryogenics Facilities (MCF)
and the Accelerator Technology Platform (ATP) — form a
foundation for the development and characterization of these
systems.
Building on this experience, KIT is now advancing mag-
nets and undulators based on high-temperature supercon-
ductors (HTS), aiming for compact, sustainable, energy-
and resource-efficient solutions. These activities are driven
by in-house research and providing the full value chain of
HTS technology from tape development via structuring to
prototypes and tests in real-world environments at KIT.
In this contribution, we provide an overview of our current
developments and the supporting experimental infrastruc-
ture.
