Improved Single Bunch Purity

Operational News -

Operational News - Based on the ongoing commissioning work, we are now able to offer a much improved purity for single bunch operation. The purity has improved by more than one order of magnitude (>10^4), being independant of beam current and life time of the fill. The bunch purity gives the ratio of electrons concentrated in one bunch to electrons in other locations in the storage ring. The better the purity, the better the experimental conditions for researchers involved in time-resolved studies.

    BESSY II: Ultra-fast switching of helicity of circularly polarized light pulses
    At the BESSY II storage ring, a joint team of accelerator physicists, undulator experts and experimenters has shown how the helicity of circularly polarized synchrotron radiation can be switched faster - up to a million times faster than before. They used an elliptical double-undulator developed at HZB and operated the storage ring in the so-called two-orbit mode. This is a special mode of operation that was only recently developed at BESSY II and provides the basis for fast switching. The ultra-fast change of light helicity is particularly interesting to observe processes in magnetic materials and has long been expected by a large user community. [...]

    Accelerator physics: alternative material investigated for superconducting radio-frequency cavity resonators
    In modern synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers, superconducting radio-frequency cavity resonators are able to supply electron bunches with extremely high energy. These resonators are currently constructed of pure niobium. Now an international collaboration has investigated the potential advantages a niobium-tin coating might offer in comparison to pure niobium. [...]
