A prototype of a novel superconductive undulator with a period length of 3.8 mm is described. The undulator is 100 periods long. In the first tests described in this paper the undulator was cooled in a helium bath and it was shown that it can be operated as expected with a maximum current of 1400 A. Afterwards the undulator field was measured with a miniature Hall probe with an active area of (100x100)x10^-6 m^2. Calculated and measured field distributions are in good agreement. A cryostat for a beam test at Mainz microtron MAMI was built in which liquid helium cools indirectly the in-vacuum undulator. At the moment the cryostat is tested and optimized.

During the last years several attempts were undertaken to decrease the period length of undulators to the mm range. In this paper, a novel type of an in-vacuum undulator is described which is built with superconductive wires. The period length of this special device is 3.8 mm. In principle, it is possible to decrease this period length even further. A 100 period long undulator has been built and will be tested with beam in the near future.
We consider electromagnetic radiation of a charged particle bunch moving uniformly along a corrugated planar metallic surface. It is assumed that the wavelengths under consideration are much larger than the period and the depth of corrugation. Using the method of the equivalent boundary conditions we obtain the Fourier-transform of the Hertz vector. It is demonstrated that the ultra-relativistic bunch excites the surface waves, whereas the volume radiation is absent. Fourier-transforms of the surface wave components and spectral density of energy losses are obtained and analyzed.
We investigate radiation of a charged particle bunch moving through a corrugated planar conductive surface. It is assumed that the corrugation period and depth are much less than the wavelengths under consideration. In this case, the corrugated structure can be replaced with some smooth surface on which the so-called equivalent boundary conditions (EBC) are fulfilled. Using the EBC method we obtain expressions for the electromagnetic field of the bunch which are presented in form of spectral integrals. It is demonstrated that the bunch generates surface waves propagating along the corrugations with the light velocity. Also we present results of numerical calculations for electromagnetic field components of surface waves depending on coordinates and show that these dependences can be used for determination of the bunch size.
We show that a short relativistic electron beam propagating in a plasma with a density gradient perpendicular to the direction of motion generates a wakefield in which a witness bunch experiences a transverse force. A density gradient oscillating along the beam path would create a periodically varying force---an undulator, with an estimated strength of the equivalent magnetic field more than ten Tesla. This opens an avenue for creation of a high-strength, short-period undulators, which eventually may lead to all-plasma, free electron lasers where a plasma wakefield acceleration is naturally combined with a plasma undulator in a unifying, compact setup.
We study the tapering optimization scheme for a short period, less than two cm, superconducting undulator, and show that it can generate 4 keV X-ray pulses with peak power in excess of 1 terawatt, using LCLS electron beam parameters. We study the effect of undulator module length relative to the FEL gain length for continous and step-wise taper profiles. For the optimal section length of 1.5m we study the evolution of the FEL process for two different superconducting technologies NbTi and Nb3Sn. We discuss the major factors limiting the maximum output power, particle detrapping around the saturation location and time dependent detrapping due to generation and amplification of sideband modes.
