BESSY III & MLS II - Status of the Development of the New Photon Science Facility in Berlin

HZB operates and develops two synchrotron radiation sources at Berlin Adlershof. The larger one, BESSY II with an energy of 1.7 GeV and 240 m circumference is optimized for soft-X rays and in operation since 1999. The smaller one is the MLS (Metrology Light Source), owned by the Physikalische Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) - Germany’s National Metrology Institute. It is designed to fulfill the special metrology needs of the PTB with an energy of 0.6 GeV and 48 m circumference, covering the spectral range from THz and IR to EUV/VUV. In 2020 a discussion process has been started to define the requirements for successors of BESSY II and MLS and to study the possibilities integrate them into a new photon science facility in Berlin Adlershof. Here, we give a status report and present a first envisaged parameter space to both machines (see also MOPAB262, MOPAB220, MOPAB048, MOPAB242).
