  Since its first introduction in April 2009, the low alpha operational mode has been continually refined in order to best meet the needs of the user community. Initially the optics were used only to generate short x-ray pulses, for which a stable, low emittance, single bunch was requested, with the emphasis placed on increased bunch charge over shortest absolute pulse duration. More recently, the optics have been adapted to enhance the CSR gain in the THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this paper we summarise the work carried out in order to meet these two demands.

  Understanding the heat load from an electron beam is still an open issue for the cryogenic design of superconducting insertion devices. COLDDIAG, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics was designed and built specially for this purpose. With the equipped instrumentation, which covers temperature sensors, pressure gauges, mass spectrometers as well as retarding field analyzers it is possible to measure the beam heat load, total pressure, and gas content as well as the net flux and energy of particles hitting the chamber walls. Following a failure after its first installation in November 2011, COLDDIAG was subsequently reinstalled in the Diamond storage ring in August 2012. We report on the preliminary results that have been obtained since then.
