Dipole correctors and phase shifters are usually needed in the interspace of a permanent magnet (PM)-based undulator array for purposes of beam steering and phase matching when the field strength is changing. Unlike the PM-based undulators, the superconducting undulator (SCU) can change its end field with the help of varying currents in the end coils. By setting the end coil currents the beam-steering and the phase-matching could be realized, thus eliminating the need for standalone correctors and phase shifters, saving the interspace as well as reducing the mechanical complexity of an undulator array. We developed a procedure for determining the SCU end coil currents and verified it by numerical simulations. The procedure as well as the simulation results are described in this paper.

We present connectable designs of superconducting undulators (SCU) and cryomodules (CM) based on previous SCU and CM designs at Argonne National Lab. The new SCU and CM designs will allow us to connect one CM to the next to form a contiguous line of SCUs with no breaks between the cryomodules. The SCU design will have correctors and phase shifters integrated into the main SCU magnet core, as well as external corrector magnets for trajectory corrections. There will also be a cryogenic magnetic quadrupole and a cold RF beam position monitor (BPM) integrated in the SCU CM. In addition to providing the usual FODO transverse focusing, the quadrupole and BPM will be used for the beam-based alignment technique that is critical for X-ray FEL operation. In this paper, we will present the conceptual design of the new SCU CM as well as results of FEL simulations using the SCUs as afterburners for the LCLS hard X-ray undulators.
