We studied a novel approach to perform time-resolved measurements of a relativistic electron bunch based on the self-transverse wakefield interaction of the beam itself passing off-axis through a dielectric-lined or corrugated waveguide. The method is passive, can reach sub-fs resolution, and does not suffer of jitter issues. The main limitation is the poor resolution at the head of the bunch. We present simulations and a proof-of-principle experiment carried out at the SwissFEL injector test facility as well. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
