COHERENT SYNCHROTRON RADIATION AT THE METROLOGY LIGHT SOURCE

摘要

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has set up a low-energy electron storage ring in Berlin-Adlershof in close cooperation with the BESSY GmbH. The new storage ring, named Metrology Light Source (MLS), is mainly dedicated to metrology and technological developments in the EUV, VUV, and IR spectral range. Additionally, the MLS is the first machine designed and prepared for a special machine optics mode (low-alpha operation mode) based on an octupole correction scheme, for the production of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the FIR and THz region. We report the status of the MLS operated in the normal and low alpha mode and present first results from the commissioning.
