Measurements of electron bunch lengths


Measurements of electron bunch lengths

Debus, A.

Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations suggest that laser accelerated electron bunches have pulse lengths down to below 10fs. Classic approaches known from the accelerator community are known to be limited to longer electron bunches. An all-optical, single-shot approach is presented that shows how the spectral analysis of the coherent transition radiation from a thin foil in the mid-infrared can be used to extract the electron bunch length on a scale from 8fs to 50fs.

Keywords: electron bunch lengths; transition radiation; laser wakefield accelerated electrons; ultrashort electrons
