Description
Summary:Superconducting multipole insertion devices (wigglers and undulators) used to generate synchrotron radiation significantly increase the photon flux, especially in the hard spectral region. Over the past 35 years, more than 25 superconducting wigglers for leading centers of synchrotron radiation have been created at the BINP. A cryogenic system based on cryocoolers has been developed, which makes is possible to operate superconducting insertion devices for several years without consuming liquid helium. In this paper, the characteristics of various superconducting insertion devices created at the BINP are presented. The design features and recent advances in the development of the magnetic and cryogenic system with liquid and indirect cooling are discussed.
