Cryo testing of undulator in December 2005 demonstrates capability of cold operation

Chilling undulator to 150 K		Detail of cryo gas control		Gap measuremets at 150 K

The X25 undulator was designed for operation at cryogenic temperatures. Tests in December 05 verified that chamber, magnet array, and gap control are indeed compatible with cold operation which could make this MGU an even more brilliant and continuously tunable x-ray source.
