Description

Recent developments at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) include the creation of novel, compact, modular in-vacuum undulators for the upgraded Swiss Light Source, SLS2.0. Two of these new planar insertion devices (IDs) have already been installed during the ongoing commissioning of SLS 2.0, providing light to the connected beamlines: a 1-meter-long ID with a 15 mm period length and a 3-meter-long ID with a 17 mm period length with force-compensation magnets. Both devices are automatically optimized within their vacuum chambers; three additional identical 3-meter-long IDs are planned.
This contribution covers the commissioning process of these novel in-vacuum undulators from both machine and beamline perspectives. Further, insights into the operation and performance, as well as first measurements at the beamlines’ endstation, will be presented.
