TI - Observations of Optical Synchrotron Radiation from Ultra-low Charges Stored in a Ring Operating at 425 MeV J2 - Proc. of IBIC2020, Santos, Brazil, 14-18 September 2020 CY - Santos, Brazil T2 - International Beam Instrumentation Conference T3 - 9 LA - english AB - The initial observations of optical synchrotron radiation (OSR) emitted over millions of passes from a few electrons circulating in the Particle Accumulator Ring (PAR) at the Advanced Photon Source have been done with a digital CMOS camera and a synchroscan streak camera operating at 117.3 MHz. The discrete changes of integrated counts in the CMOS image region of interest are ascribed to single electron steps at ~3500 cts per electron. Circulations of a single electron at 375 MeV and at 425 MeV were demonstrated in the 12-bit digital FLIR USB3 camera images. The Hamamatsu C5680 streak camera operating at the 12th harmonic of the fundamental revolution frequency at 9.77 MHz was used to measure the zero-current bunch length from 0.5 nC circulating charge down to 10s of electrons or <10 aC. The latter cases were performed with 6-ps temporal resolution for the first time anywhere, to our knowledge. We report a preliminary effective bunch length of 276 ± 36 ps for 57 electrons (9.1 aC) stored based on a fit to a single Gaussian peak. The results will be compared to the standard zero-current model for the ring.
