    Background

    In the Shanghai High Repetition rate XFEL (X-ray free electron laser) and Extreme Light (SHINE) facility, the vertical linear polarization laser is generated by using 40 planar superconducting undulators (SCUs) with a period length of 16 mm, length of 4 m, and a gap of 4 mm. At present, the Hall probes are the most reliable method for measuring the undulator magnetic field whilst the positioning accuracy of the sensitive center of the Hall probe is one of the main factors affecting the accuracy of magnetic field measurement.

    Purpose

    This study aims to calibrate the position of the Hall probes' sensitive region for magnetic field measurements of SCU with high-precision.

    Methods

    The experimental platform for magnetic field point measurement of SCUs was introduced in details, a sledge with three mounted Hall probes and a retro-reflector were applied for magnetic field measurement. By flipping the sledge, the lateral distance between the sensitive centers of the Hall probe and each other were obtained, so did the lateral distance between the sensitive centers of the Hall probe and the apex of the pyramid prism. Therefore, the position of the Hall probes' sensitive region and center of the retro-reflector were calibrated.

    Results & Conclusions

    The positional calibration of the Hall probes has an accuracy higher than ±10 μm, which meets the requirements for magnetic field measurement.
