	A novel method of femtosecond electron bunch measurement has been proposed using THz Cherenkov radiation in dielectric materials. When the ultrashort electron beam moves to the dielectric materials, such as a hollow quartz tube covered by a metal, the electron induced coherent Cherenkov radiation is occurred as a frequency spectrum in THz range with discrete components (higher mode radiations). The intensities of the THz components and the width of the frequency spectrum are determined strictly by the bunch length. In the preliminary experiments, we succeeded to observe the THz Cherenkov radiation from a 200 fs electron bunch using mm-sized dielectric tubes. It was found that the radiation spectra are dependent on the bunch length. The higher mode radiations are appeared by decreasing the electron bunch length.

A novel method of femtosecond electron bunch measurement has been proposed using THz Cherenkov radiation in dielectric materials.
