Abstract

The ILC positron source relies upon a ~200 m long superconducting helical undulator in order to generate the huge flux of gamma photons required. The period is only 11.5 mm but the field strength is ~1 T. The UK is building and testing a full scale 4 m long ILC cryomodule at the moment. It will be completed in 2008 and the results used to demonstrate the feasibility of the full (200 m long) system
