Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation for minimally invasive bunch length measurement at the subpicosecond time scale

We have designed a tool to measure the bunch length of an electron beam in a minimally invasive way by means of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR). The technique has been employed successfully at a test apparatus for the Mainz Energy-recovery Superconducting Accelerator MESA, demonstrating it is...
