Abstract

Most of the SPring-8 insertion devices are in-vacuum undulators except for the soft X-ray devices and one elliptical wiggler. The standard-type SPring-8 in-vacuum undulator has a period of 32 mm and a minimum gap of 8 mm. The fundamental radiation energy ranges from 5.2 to 18.5 keV. Three standard in-vacuum undulators are already installed in the ring and are operating without any problems. The magnetic field correction, the vacuum system and the commissioning of the in-vacuum undulators are described in this paper.
