Sub-picosecond compression by velocity bunching in a photo-injector
arXiv:physics/0211072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevSTAB.6.033503
Abstract
We present an experimental evidence of a bunch compression scheme that uses a traveling wave accelerating structure as a compressor. The bunch length issued from a laser-driven radio-frequency electron source was compressed by a factor >3 using an S-band traveling wave structure located immediately downstream from the electron source. Experimental data are found to be in good agreement with particle tracking simulations.
