Description

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 magnets and undulators based on high-temperature superconductors (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 infrastructure.
