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. This talk will briefly introduce the idea behind SSMB and give an overview of the PoP experiment, its current status and outlook.
