Description
The method of Steady-State Microbunching (SSMB) as proposed by Alex Chao and Daniel Ratner in 2010 is envisioned to generate intense coherent synchrotron radiation at a storage ring. The scheme would allow synchrotron light with brilliance similar to an FEL while enabling high repetition rates typical for a storage ring.
A proof-of-principle (PoP) experiment is conducted at the MLS storage ring in Berlin and has successfully demonstrated the viability of the general mechanism behind SSMB by showing stability of a microbunch structure over one turn in the storage ring. I will present the contributions made to this PoP experiment during a Master's thesis as well as the continuing efforts and perspectives of my PhD work in this project.
