Description
RadiaBeam is developing and manufacturing a 15mm period, high temperature superconductor undulator using Magnesium Diboride (MgB2) wire at 10K-15K temperature range. This temperature range can be achieved by cryocooler, a simpler and less expensive cryogenic solution compared to a liquid helium approach. After optimizing the thermal-mechanical design, the operating temperature is finalized at 7K. We examine the current density, critical field, tensile stress, tensile strain, and temperature of MgB2 wire in multiphysics approach and determine the operating field to be 1.13T with safety margin. A quench-protected power system is developed for training the SCU to the operating point in controlled ramp rate. The SCU will be characterized by in-vacuum pulse wire measurement system.
