| Abstract |
The generation of bright electron beams at the ASTA/IOTA facility at Fermilab includes implementation of a versatile bunch-length monitor located after the 4-dipole chicane bunch compressor for electron beam energies of 20-50 MeV and integrated charges in excess of 10 nC. The station will include both a Hamamatsu C5680 synchroscan streak camera and a Martin-Puplett interferometer (MPI). An Al-coated Si screen will be used to generate both optical transition radiation (OTR) and coherent transition radiation (CTR) during the beam’s interaction with the screen. A chicane bypass beamline will allow the measurement of the initial bunch length at the same downstream beamline location using OTR and the streak camera. The UV component of the drive laser has previously been characterized with a Gaussian fit σ of 3.5 ps*, and the uncompressed electron beam is expected to be similar to this value at low charge per micropulse. In addition, OTR will be transported to the streak camera from the focal plane of the downstream spectrometer to provide an E-t distribution within the micropulse time scale. Commissioning of the system and initial results with beam will be presented as available.
