Summary

This comprehensive review examines recent progress in high-temperature superconducting undulators for particle accelerator-based light sources. A notable HTS undulator prototype using staggered-array Re-Ba-Cu–O bulks achieved a short 10 mm period with high field strength, enabling more compact and economically feasible free electron lasers. The paper synthesises advances in bulk HTS undulator design and engineering prototypes whilst discussing opportunities and practical deployment challenges.

UK applicability

This work is not applicable to UK farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, or human health. The paper concerns advanced physics infrastructure and superconducting magnet technology for particle accelerators, falling entirely outside Vitagri's Pulse Brain's remit.

Key measures

Peak magnetic field amplitude (B₀ = 2.1 T), period length (10 mm), deflection parameter (K = 1.96)

Outcomes reported

The paper reviews recent advances in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) undulator technology, including staggered-array bulk HTS undulators and other HTS undulator variants designed for synchrotron and free electron laser facilities. It reports on an HTS undulator prototype achieving a peak magnetic field amplitude of 2.1 T with a 10 mm period length and discusses engineering prototypes for practical deployment.
