Stability Investigation of long-term operations at FLUTE — •Thiemo Schmelzer for the FLUTE collaboration — LAS, KIT, Karlsruhe

At KIT the new compact and versatile linear-based test facility FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) is operated. Its primary goal is to serve as a platform for a variety of accelerator R&D studies as well as to generate strong ultra-short THz pulses for photon science. For some studies, for example radiation exposure in material studies, the accelerator is best operated with a continuous and stable electron beam over several hours. In systematic measurements, several parameters of the electron beam were monitored to investigate their stability in different operation settings. The results as well as further optimization opportunities will be presented in this contribution.
