Abstract
A 19-pole permanent magnet undulator has been tested by inserting it into a straight section from outside the vacuum chamber of the SOR-RING, a dedicated synchrotron radiation source operated between 0.2 and 0.38 GeV. It was confirmed that the undulator field did not seriously disturb stable operation by observing the shift of the closed orbit and the shift of the betatron numbers. Some results of visual observation of the radiation are presented. The polarization character was studied on the rainbow circle with a polarizer and some theoretical results by Kitamura were confirmed. It was found that the interfering synchrotron radiations along the straight section of the storage ring make a series of rainbows even without the undulator field.
