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.

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. [...]
