Characterization of the THz radiation source at the Frascati linear accelerator.

چکیده
The linac driven coherent THz radiation source at the SPARC-LAB test facility is able to deliver broadband THz pulses with femtosecond shaping. In addition, high peak power, narrow spectral bandwidth THz radiation can be also generated, taking advantage of advanced electron beam manipulation techniques, able to generate an adjustable train of electron bunches with a sub-picosecond length and with sub-picosecond spacing. The paper reports on the manipulation, characterization, and transport of the electron beam in the bending line transporting the beam down to the THz station, where different coherent transition radiation spectra have been measured and studied with the aim to optimize the THz radiation performances.

متن کاملELECTRON BUNCH LENGTH MEASUREMENT USING COHERENT RADIATION SOURCE OF fs-THz ACCELERATOR AT POHANG ACCELERATOR LABORATORY
A Michelson interferometer was installed at the femtosecond (fs) terahertz (THz) Accelerator of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory(PAL) to measure a subpicosecond order electron bunch length. To measure an ultra-short electron bunch length, we use reconstruction process and fast fourier transform. Currently, we are generating THz radiation with the pulse energy of 7μJ by means of coherent transition...
