Femtosecond electron bunches

Conference ·
OSTI ID:663319
Experiments to produce and measure femtosecond electron bunches are described. A 2.6 MeV rf-gun with thermionic cathode is used at the SUNSHINE (Stanford University Short Intense Electron Source) facility in conjunction with an {alpha}-magnetic for bunch compression to produce f-sec electron bunches. Transition radiation generated by these bunches is analyzed in a Michelson interferometer to determine the bunch length. Limitations on achievable bunch length and intensity will be discussed, as well as the technique used to measure such bunches.
