Funding: Work supported by seed funding from Université Paris-Sud, program 'Attractivité' and by the French ANR under contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01. The potential of Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation as a longitudinal bunch profile monitor has already been demonstrated and has recently been extended to the sub-picosecond range. As a critical step toward the construction of a single shot bunch profile monitor using Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation it is important to measure very accurately the distribution of such radiation. Optimum background suppression techniques need to be found and relatively cheap detectors suitable for the far infra-red need to be qualified. To perform these tasks a test stand has been installed at the end of the linac of the synchrotron SOLEIL. This test stand and the first results from its commissioning will be presented here. |

TUPC38 | Longitudinal Profile Monitor Using Smith-Purcell Radiation: Recent Results from the E-203 Collaboration | 464 |

Funding: Financial support from the John Adams Institute, the Fell Fund (University of Oxford), the Université Paris-Sud (programme 'Attractivité') and the French ANR (contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01). We report on recent measurements made at FACET by the E-203 collaboration to test a longitudinal bunch profile monitor based on Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation. The capacity of this monitor to resolve sub-picosecond bunches will be shown as well as a comparison of profile reconstructed for different beam compression settings. We will also present recent electromagnetic simulations of the interactions between the beam and the grating as well as the expected resolution of such monitor. Comparison between Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation measurement and those made with other techniques will also be discussed. Finally future upgrades of the experiment and steps toward the construction of a single shot longitudinal profile monitor will be presented. |
