Abstract

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will be based on a 10 to 17.5 GeV electron linac. Its beam will be used in three undulator systems to obtain ultrabrilliant X-ray flashes from 0.1 to 6 nanometres for experimentation. The undulator systems are formed by 5m long undulator segments and 1.1m long intersections in between. They accommodate a quadrupole on top of a precision mover, a beam position monitor, two air coil correctors and a phase shifter. The function of the phase shifter is to adjust the phase of the electron beam with respect to that of the radiation field when the wavelength is changed by tuning the gap. In this context, CIEMAT will deliver 92 phase shifters, as part of the Spanish inkind contribution to the E-XFEL project. This paper describes the engineering design, the manufacturing techniques and the mechanical and magnetic tests realized on the first prototypes.
