Funding: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Abbestr. 2 - 12, 10587 Berlin, Germany The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national metrology institute, has built an electron storage ring in close cooperation with BESSY for energies between 200 MeV and 600 MeV. This storage ring, named Metrology Light Source (MLS), will mainly be used for radiometry and can be operated as a primary source standard. The spectral range of the MLS is optimized for UV, EUV and also for Terahertz radiation. Commissioning is planed for May 2007. First MLS commissioning results will be reported. |

TUPMN014 | Commissioning of the 100 MeV Racetrack Microtron of the Metrology Light Source | 944 |
|

Funding: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Abbestr. 2 - 12, 10587 Berlin, Germany In 2003, the Metrology Light Source (MLS) was approved, a dedicated low energy electron storage ring of the Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national metrology institute. Design, construction and operation of the MLS are realized by BESSY, based on the PTB requirements for a permanent accessible radiometry source, optimized for the spectral range between UV up to VUV. The MLS is tunable in energy between 200 MeV and 600 MeV. Based on the experiences at BESSY, a highly stable and reliable Race Track Microtron for injection was realized by Danfysik. The commissioning of the 100 MeV microtron at the MLS started in December 2006. The concept and construction as well as the main parameters of the microtron are introduced. |

TUPMN012 | STARS - A Two-Stage High-Gain Harmonic Generation FEL Demonstrator | 938 |
|
||
Funding: Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung and the Land Berlin BESSY is proposing a demonstration facility, called STARS, for a two-stage high-gain harmonic generation free electron laser (HGHG FEL). STARS is planned for lasing in the wavelength range 40 to 70 nm, requiring a beam energy of 325 MeV. The facility consists of a normal conducting gun, three superconducting TESLA-type acceleration modules modified for CW operation, a single stage bunch compressor and finally a two-stage HGHG cascaded FEL. This paper describes the faciliy layout and the rationale behind the operation parameters. |
