  Instabilities in beam and bunch parameters, such as bunch charge, beam energy or changes in the phase or amplitude of the accelerating field in the RF cavities can be the source of noise in the various secondary sources driven by the electron beam. Bunch charge fluctuations lead to intensity instabilities in the super-radiant THz sources. The primary electron beam driving the light sources has a maximum energy of 40 MeV and a maximum current of 1.6 mA. Depending on the mode of operation required, there are two available injectors in use at ELBE. The first is the thermionic injector, which is used for regular operating modes and supports repetition rates up to 13 MHz and bunch charges up to 100 pC. The second is the SRF photo-cathode injector, which is used for experiments that may require lower emittance or higher bunch charges of up to 1 nC. It has a maximum repetition rate of 13 MHz, which can be adjusted to lower rates if desired, also including different macro pulse modes of operation. In this contribution, we will present our work in the pulse-resolved intensity measurement that allows for correction of intensity instabilities.

  The superradiant THz sources at TELBE facility is based on the new class of accelerator-driven terahertz (THz) radiation sources that provide high repetition rates up to 13 MHz, and flexibility of tuning the THz pulse form. The THz pulses are used for the excitation of materials of interest, about two orders of magnitude higher than state-of-the-art tabletop sources. Time-resolved experiments can be performed with a time resolution down to 30 femtoseconds (fs) using the novel pulse-resolved Data Acquisition (DAQ) system. However, the increasing demands in improving the flexibility, data throughput, and speed of the DAQ systems motivate the integration of reconfigurable processing units close to the new detectors to accelerate the processing of tens of GigaBytes of data per second. In this paper, we introduce our online ultrafast DAQ system that uses a GPU platform for real-time image processing, and a custom high-performance FPGA board for interfacing the image sensors and provide a continuous data transfer.
