Design and Commissioning of Pulsed Wire Magnetic Measurement System for Insertion Device Characterization

Abstract: Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser (FEL) light is becoming an increasingly sought after tool for almost all scientific research aspects. MAX IV Laboratory introduced the first 4th generation light source that provides the brightest synchrotron light in the world. Since all of the experiments at MAX IV rely only on Insertion Device (ID) radiation, the need for improving ID technology has subsequently been prioritized. The Pulsed Wire (PW) magnetic measurement system could prove to be an excellent solution for the construction and tuning of small aperture and limited access ID designs which are under investigation for the proposed FEL project at MAX IV. Therefore this thesis is dedicated to show the simulation, design and commissioning results of a PW system developed at MAX IV Laboratory, as well as direct comparisons against well proven magnetic measurement techniques.
