A pre-series prototype for the superconducting undulator afterburner for the European XFEL

Abstract We propose to develop, characterize and operate a superconducting undulator (SCU) afterburner consisting of 5 modules (1 module = 2 SCU coils m length 1 phase shifter) plus pre-series prototype at the SASE2 hard X-ray beamline European XFEL. This will produce an output in order 10 ph/pulse photon energies above 30 keV. The project is divided into production small-series modules. Central goals this R&D activity are: demonstration functionality SCUs FEL, set up needed infrastructure SCUs, industrialization such undulators, reduction price per module. In contribution, main parameters specifications are described.
