During 2011, a new dedicated THz beamline has been constructed and commissioned at DELTA, a 1.5 GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University. This beamline enables extracting and detecting coherent THz pulses caused by a laser-induced density modulation of the electron bunches. Ongoing experiments aim at characterizing the THz radiation as well as investigating the evolution of the density modulation over subsequent revolutions following the initial laser-electron interaction in an undulator.

At the DELTA 1.5-GeV electron storage ring operated as a synchrotron radiation source by the TU Dortmund University, bunch-by-bunch feedback systems have been recently installed and commissioned to detect and suppress longitudinal as well as transverse multibunch instabilities. Besides that, the feedback systems are used as a diagnostics tool. Growth rates of multibunch instabilities and their dependence on the beam current have been measured. Additionally, the oscillation amplitudes of electron bunches have been studied during the injection process.

At the 1.5 GeV synchrotron light source DELTA, operated by the TU Dortmund University, a new facility for ultrashort pulses in the VUV and THz regime is currently under commissioning. Here, the interaction of an intense, ultrashort laser pulse, co-propagating with the electrons in an optical klystron, leads to coherent synchrotron radiation at harmonics of the incident laser wavelength. The aim of the present commissioning steps is to extend the emitted wavelength down to about 50 nm, enabling femtosecond-resolved pump-probe experiments in the VUV regime. Other issues include increasing the photon flux by optimizing the laser-electron interaction and improving the stability and ease of operation of the source.
