Measurement of Femtosecond Electron Bunches

چکیده
Bunch lengths as short as 84 fs (rms) have been measured at Jefferson Lab using a zero-phasing RF technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first accurate bunch length measurement in this regime. In this letter, an analytical approach for computing the longitudinal distribution function and bunch length is described for . arbitrary longitudinal and transverse distributions. The measurement results are presented, which are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Femtosecond Electron and X-ray Generation by Laser and Plasma-based Sources
The generation of ultra-short x-rays by Thomson scattering intense laser pulses from electron beams is discussed, including recent experimental results and methods for enhancing the x-ray flux. A high flux of x-rays in a femtosecond pulse requires the generation of femtosecond electron bunches and a head-on Thomson scattering geometry. The generation of ultrashort electron bunches in a plasmaba...
متن کاملMeasurement of Temporal Electric Field of Electron Bunch Using Photoconductive Antenna
A temporal electric field profile, which is a radially polarized terahertz (THz) pulse from an electron bunch, was measured by a large-aperture photoconductive antenna (PCA) with micro-structured concentric electrodes for the detection of THz pulses. Photo-induced charge carriers were generated by irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses on semiconductor plane of the electrodes on the PCA. Time-...

In this paper we propose a new method for measurements of the longitudinal profile of 100 femtosecond electron bunches for X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs). The method is simply the combination of two well-known techniques, which where not previously combined to our knowledge. We use seed 10-ps 1047 nm quantum laser to produce exact optical replica of ultrafast electron bunches. The replica i...
متن کاملSingle-shot measurement of the spectral envelope of broad-bandwidth terahertz pulses from femtosecond electron bunches.
We present a new approach (demonstrated experimentally and through modeling) to characterize the spectral envelope of a terahertz (THz) pulse in a single shot. The coherent THz pulse is produced by a femtosecond electron bunch and contains information on the bunch duration. The technique, involving a single low-power laser probe pulse, is an extension of the conventional spectral encoding metho...
متن کاملParticle Refraction, Reflection and Channeling by Laser Beams
It is shown that the charged particles are refracted and reflected on the boundary of field free and laser field regions in vacuum. Simple and transparent estimates are given which show the possibility of channeling of charged and neutral particles having polarizability by strong electromagnetic field of certain laser bunches just as by the field of orientated crystalline planes and axes. These...
