Abstract
A single electron circulating in a storage ring is a very peculiar obj ect. Permanent emission of synchrotron radiation offers the possibilit y to observe the electron but also causes the ''natural bunch length'' . In the quasiclassical treatment uncertainties in the electron positi on arise from the averaging of the energy and position of the point-li ke electron over many turns in the storage ring. Nevertheless the ques tion about the electron localization remains open. The radiation from a long undulator permits one to obtain ''snapshots'' of the electron l ongitudinal distribution. Experiments with a single electron on the VE PP-3 optical klystron are discussed.
