Analysis of matter on an atomic scale requires brilliant light sources with keV photon energies. Undulator-based light source facilities are invaluable tools for producing such photon beams. To improve their performance at even higher photon energies, it is essential to decrease the undulator period while still maintaining a high magnetic field strength. We present measurements of a new permanent magnet material, (NdPr)FeB, which shows significantly higher remanent magnetic fields of 1.69 T and a better coercivity of 70 kOe at cryogenic temperatures. A 20 period prototype is being constructed for use at the laser-wakefield experiment in Munich.
