STATUS OF THE UK SUPERCONDUCTING PLANAR UNDULATOR PROJECT

The UK is developing a short period, narrow aperture, planar superconducting undulator that is planned to be installed and tested in the 3 GeV Diamond Light Source. This paper will describe the main parameters of the undulator and the key design choices that have been made. First measurements will be presented of a 19 period test module and also the status of the 1.8 K cryogenic turret.
