To calibrating a cosmic-ray detector, a low beam current accelerator has been built to generate ultra low intensity electron beams at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP). The minimum beam charge obtained was estimated to be about one electron/pulse. Beam commissioning has been carried out. The key technologies for achieving such low intensity electron beams are to control the beam using 8 movable slits and to measure the intensity of the beam using 9 movable current monitors based on
