THPKF013 | Terahertz Diagnostics for the Femtosecond X-ray Source at BESSY | 2281 |

A longitudinal electron density modulation caused by femtoslicing in a storage ring is accompanied by a strong broad band coherent THz-light emission between 0.3 and 10 THz at certain synchrotron radiation emitting devices downstream of the interaction region. A technique to use the THz signal for the control of the overlap of laser and electron bunch using fast infrared bolometers is described. A new dedicated THz extraction port at a bending magnet as well as a spectroscopic setup based on a Martin Puplett spectrometer will be commissioned in May 2004 together with the new femtoslicing source at BESSY.

THPKF014 | Status of the BESSY II Femtosecond X-ray Source | 2284 |

At the BESSY II storage ring, work is in progress to produce X-ray pulses with 50 fs (fwhm) duration and tunable energy and polarization by "femtoslicing" [*].This work includes extensive alterations to the storage ring (one new and one modified undulator, both in the same straight section, three additional dipole magnets, a new IR beamline, and nine meters of new vacuum vessels) and to two beamlines (relocation and new optical designs), as well as the installation of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser system. Commissioning is planned for May 2004. This paper reviews the principles and technical implementation of the new femtosecond X-ray source, and reports the status of the project.
