This paper reports on the progress of the development of a bunch length diagnostic for high brightness beams. The diagnostic, termed the real time interferometer, is a single shot, autocorrelator that outputs the interferogram of coherent radiation emitted from compressed, high-brightness beams. The device uses all-reflective terahertz optics as well as a highly sensitive pyroelectric-based detector array. For initial testing, coherent transition radiation is used, however, the diagnostic can be used in a non-destructive manner if coherent edge or synchrotron radiation is employed. Current research includes diagnostic design and preliminary tests conducted at the BNL Accelerator Test Facility. |
