  The Electron pulse Stretcher Facility ELSA delivers polarized and non-polarized electrons with an adjustable beam energy of 0.5 - 3.2 GeV to external experimental stations. Extraction currents available range down from 1 nanoampere to several atto-amperes provided by single electron extraction. Especially the high energy physics community requires detector test stations with electron tagging rates between 100 Hz to 100 kHz, imposing particular requirements for stable minimum-current extraction from the storage ring. These requirements are met with the implementation of a low-injection mode for the booster synchrotron and photomultiplier-based stored current monitoring, providing feedback for a selectable limit of the injected current. A homogeneous extraction current with duty factor > 80% is routinely granted by the excitation of a 3rd integer optical resonance. The setup of the low-current injection system and measurements of the extraction properties at the preliminary detector test beamline are presented.

  At the electron accelerator ELSA, a new external beam line has been constructed whose task is to provide a primary electron beam for detector tests. Using a slow resonance extraction method, it is possible to extract a quasi continuous electron beam with a maximum energy of 3.2 GeV to the test area. An external beam current of 100 pA to 1 fA can be realized. A further reduction of the beam current is envisaged as well. The beam width can be changed in both transverse directions from 1 mm to 8 mm. To dump and simultaneously measure the current of the electron beam behind the detector components a Faraday cup consisting of depleted uanium is used. The residual radiation leaving the cup is absorbed in a concrete casing. The radiation protection concept for the entire area of the new beamline was designed with the help of the Monte Carlo simulation program Fluka. In addition to the concrete casing, radiation protection walls were built to allow a safe working environment in the neighboring control room.
