Experiments on Single Electrons at the DELTA Storage Ring — •Zohair Usfoor1, Shaukat Khan1, Carsten Mai1, Arjun Radha Krishnan1, Wa'el Salah1,2, and Vivek Vijayan1 — 1Center for Synchrotron Radiation (DELTA), TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany — 2The Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan
The ability to generate a beam consisting of a single electron or a few electrons introduces novel experimental possibilities when contrasted with conventional accelerator physics. At DELTA, a 1.5-GeV synchrotron radiation source at TU Dortmund University, scraping the electron beam reduces the number of electrons in the storage ring while simultaneously counting the synchrotron radiation photons. Typically, synchrotron radiation is explained as an electromagnetic wave within the context of classical electrodynamics. However, the emission of photons by an individual electron exposes the quantum characteristics inherent in synchrotron light. The statistical attributes of these photons provide extra information that can be applied for purposes of beam diagnostics. Our experimental setup and first results are presented.
