A device for electron bunch length measurement in the picosecond and subpicosecond domain
Abstract
We designed, created and tested a device for measuring electron bunch length in the picosecond region. The basic idea behind the method is a circular scanning of the electron bunch in the rotating magnetic field of an TM110 RF cavity. As a result, the longitudinal position of the electrons is transformed into an angular position in a plane orthogonal to the axis. We discuss the way to implement an RF-based streak camera with time resolution in the domain of femtoseconds.
