For the operation of the Metrology Light Source (MLS)*, the electron storage ring of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), as a primary radiation source standard all storage ring parameters have to be known absolutely. For the measurement of the electron beam size and the monitoring of the stability of the orbit location a new imaging system has been set up, that operates at very different intensity levels covering more than 11 decades, given by the variation of the electron beam current. The system uses a commercial zoom lens for the achromatic optical imaging of the electron beam source point onto two different camera systems. One camera system is for life-imaging of the electron beam at electron beam currents from 200 mA down to some μA. The second system is a cooled CCD-camera that allows imaging of the electron beam size and location at very low currents, down to only one stored electron.

The Metrology Light Source* is the first storage ring optimized for THz generation**. It applies a bunch shortening mode, based on a flexible momentum compaction factor 'alpha'. The emitted THz radiation is very sensitive to the machine tuning, its power could vary by many orders of magnitude. We report on coherent THz signal intensities as a function of different machine parameters, such as beam energy, beam current, rf voltage and alpha tuning.
