Feasibility Study of a 2nd Generation Smith-Purcell Radiation Monitor for the ESTB at SLAC
Abstract
The use of a radiative process such as the Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation (CSPR) is a very promising non-invasive technique for the reconstruction of the time profile of relativistic electron bunches. Currently existing CSPR monitors do not have yet single-shot capability. Here we study the feasibility of using a CSPR based monitor for bunch length measurement at the End Station Test Beam (ESTB) at SLAC. The aim is to design a second-generation device with single-shot capability, and use it as a diagnostic tool at ESTB. Simulations of the spectral CSPR energy distribution and feasibility study have been performed for the optimization of the parameters and design of such a device.
