At the Metrology Light Source (MLS), the compact electron storage ring of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) with a circumference of 48 m, a specific operation mode with two stable closed orbits for stored electrons was realized by transverse resonance island buckets. One of these orbits is closing only after three turns. In combination with single-bunch operation, the new mode was applied for electron time-of-flight spectroscopy with an interval of the synchrotron radiation pulses which is three times the revolution period at the MLS of 160 ns. The achievement is of significant importance for PTB's future programs of angular-resolved electron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation and similar projects at other compact electron storage rings. Moreover, the applied scheme for orbit and source spot selection via optical imaging at the insertion device beamline of the MLS and may be relevant for the BESSY VSR project of the Helmholtz-Zentrum
The longitudinal acceptance of the BESSY II storage ring has been measured. To our knowledge, such a measurement has never been performed in electron storage rings. The study is also motivated by the fact that for future diffraction limited light sources a couple of longitudinal injection schemes were proposed recently. In these injection schemes, the energy and/or timing of the injection beam is shifted, resulting in a large synchrotron oscillation amplitude of the injected beam. It is, therefore, of importance to reveal whether we can evaluate the longitudinal acceptance precisely when we design a storage ring with a longitudinal injection scheme. The experimental results showed a good agreement to the acceptance evaluated through the accelerator model, including the special feature arising from the synchrotron radiation. We also found that, as a by-product, the bunch length of the injected beam can be obtained from the acceptance measurement data. The result is in good agreement with the design value of the injector booster synchrotron.
