First measurements at the new dedicated THz beamline at the MLS

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national metrology institute, is operating the low-energy electron storage ring Metrology Light Source (MLS) in Berlin-Adlershof in close cooperation with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). The MLS is designed and prepared for a low-alpha machine optics mode based on a sextupole and octupole correction scheme, for the production of coherent synchrotron radiation in the far-IR and THz region. We present first results obtained from the new dedicated THz beamline at MLS.
