Tunable subpicosecond electron bunch train generation using a transverse-to-longitudinal phase space exchange technique
arXiv:1011.1182 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.234801
Abstract
We report on the experimental generation of a train of subpicosecond electron bunches. The bunch train generation is accomplished using a beamline capable of exchanging the coordinates between the horizontal and longitudinal degrees of freedom. An initial beam consisting of a set of horizontally-separated beamlets is converted into a train of bunches temporally separated with tunable bunch duration and separation. The experiment reported in this Letter unambiguously demonstrates the conversion process and its versatility.
