Description
The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany’s national metrology institute, operates the 629 MeV electron storage ring Metrology Light Source (MLS) in Berlin-Adlershof in close collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). With more than 8000 operating hours per year, the MLS supports a broad range of metrology applications. In dedicated shifts, it also serves as a unique testbed for innovative concepts in the generation of coherent synchrotron radiation. In particular, proof-of-principle experiments on steady-state microbunching (SSMB) are underway, a promising approach to provide kilowatt-level average power radiation in the extreme ultraviolet regime at future light sources. This talk will present recent developments and outline future perspectives of the MLS.
