A superconducting 63-pole wiggler with the average period 34mm designed and fabricated in the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk for Synchrotron Radiation Center Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Canada is described. The maximum field 2.2T in the median plane has been achieved. The liquid helium consumption less than 0.03Lh in operating mode has been reached. It allows refilling liquid helium once a year. In January 2005, the wiggler was installed in the storage ring in CLS and now experiments are carried out. The main parameters of the magnet and the cryogenic systems as well as test results are presented.

The first superconducting insertion devices were designed, fabricated and installed on electron storage rings more than 25 years ago, and used for generation of synchrotron radiation in Budker INP. Since then, a wide experience of manufacturing and use of such superconducting (SC) insertion devices as SC wave length shifters, multipole wigglers, and superbend is accumulated. A review of various types of Superconducting Insertion Devices for Light Sources is given in the report. Their basic characteristics as SR sources are discussed.

A contract for multipole superconducting wiggler design and fabrication between The University of Saskatchewan and Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics was signed in October 2003. A wiggler with the photons energy range 4 to 40 keV, the maximum field 1.9 T, and the period length as small as possible was required for the micro-XAFS beamline. In 2004 the 2 T 63-pole superconducting wiggler with the average period length 34 mm was fabricated in BINP. To eliminate the undulator-type spectrum, the periodicity of the wiggler was broken. A new approach to the cryostat design enabled long-time (up to 6 months) machine operation without liquid helium refilling (LHe consumption <0.03 l/h). After successful tests the wiggler was installed on the Canadian Light Source (CLS) storage ring with the energy 2.9 GeV in January 2005. The main parameters of the magnet and the cryogenic systems, as well as magnet measurements data, cryogenic system test data, and experimental results during machine operation on the CLS storage ring are presented.

BESSY operates a third generation synchrotron light source in VUV to XUV region at Berlin-Adlershof. The main radiation sources in storage ring are special magnetic elements such as undulators and wigglers. Three superconducting shifters and one multipole superconducting wiggler are operating giving enhanced photon flux for 10-25 keV X-ray region. As the superconducting elements presently are located in straight sections, BESSY intends to exchange four of the conventional room-temperature bending magnets by superconducting ones. The report contains brief description of 9 T superbend prototype as a candidate for replacing of conventional magnets of BESSY-II, which was designed, fabricated and tested at Budker INP and was commissioned at BESSY in June 2004.Main parameters of 9 T superconducting bending magnet prototype as well as testing results are presented.
