Abstract

In-vacuum undulators (IVU) are currently extensively used at light source facilities, in particular in medium-energy storage rings, for the production of high-brightness and high-flux hard X-rays. The relatively small (~5 mm or less) vertical magnetic gaps used in these planar undulators make them rather sensitive to the accuracy of the alignment of magnet arrays with respect to the electron orbit in the vertical plane. Based on commissioning results of hard X-ray beamlines at NSLS-II, misalignment of IVU with respect to the electron beam was found to be frequent among the reasons for spectral “underperformance”. We present results of analyses of different IVU misalignment effects on the magnetic field “seen” by the electron beam and on the emitted undulator radiation spectra. An example of applying spectrum-based IVU alignment, which resulted in a ~2-fold increase in spectral flux at one of the NSLS-II beamlines, is presented.
