Abstract

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany's national metrology institute, has been operating a radiometry laboratory at the BESSY I 800 MeV electron storage ring since 1982. The BESSY I electron storage ring is optimized for radiometry and is used as a primary source standard with calculable spectral photon flux with relative uncertainties below 0.4 percent. A cryogenic electrical- substitution radiometer is used as a primary detector standard with a relative uncertainty in the determination of the radiant power of about 0.2 percent. Various experimental stations allow for the use of undispersed, calculable synchrotron radiation from bending magnets up to a photon energy of 15 keV and of monochromatorized synchrotron radiation in the 3 eV to 1500 eV spectral range, respectively. Major activities comprise the calibration of radiation detectors rand radiation sources as well as the characterization of optical components in the VUV and soft x-ray spectral range with low uncertainty. Among radiometric calibrations for different applications, extended work has been performed for solar and astronomical missions like SOHO, AXAF and XMM.
