  Transverse beam profile diagnostics in electron accelerators is usually based on direct imaging of a beam spot via optical radiation (transition or synchrotron radiation). In this case the fundamental resolution limit is determined by radiation diffraction in the optical system. A method to achieve resolutions beyond the diffraction limit is to perform point spread function (PSF) dominated imaging, i.e. the recorded image is dominated by the resolution function of a point source (single electron), and with knowledge of the PSF the true image (beam spot) may be reconstructed. To overcome the limited dynamical range of PSF dominated imaging, a dedicated de-focusing of the optical system can be introduced. In order to verify the applicability of this method, a proof-of-principle experiment has been performed at the Mainz Microtron MAMI (University of Mainz, Germany) using optical transition radiation. Status and results of this experiment will be presented.

  Transverse beam profile diagnostics in electron linacs is widely based on optical transition radiation (OTR) as standard technique which is observed in backward direction when a charged particle beam crosses the boundary between two media with different dielectric properties. The experience from modern linac based light sources like LCLS or FLASH shows that OTR diagnostics might fail because of coherence effects in the OTR emission process. A possibility to overcome this limitation is to measure at much shorter wavelengths, i.e. in the X-ray region, using parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) which additionally offers the advantage to be generated at crystal planes oriented under a certain angle to the crystal surface, thus allowing a spatial separation from a possible COTR background *. A first test experiment has been performed at the Mainz Microtron MAMI (University of Mainz, Germany) in order to study the applicability of PXR for beam diagnostics, and the status of this experiment will be presented.

As a novel non-destructive bunch length diagnostic of the electron beam, an experimental observation of the coherent Cherenkov radiation generated from a dielectric caesium iodide crystal with large spectral dispersion was proposed for the 30MeV femtosecond linear accelerator at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP). In this paper, the theoretical design, the experimental setup, the terahertz optics, the first angular distribution observations of the coherent Cherenkov radiation, and the future plans are presented.

Reliable and precise non-invasive beam diagnostics technique to measure length of sub-picosecond electron bunches are required for new accelerator facilities (FEL, et al.). Investigations of coherent radiation generated by such bunches using different interferometers allow to determine a bunch length*. Measuring a dependence of radiation yield intensity from two DR targets on a distance between them (the intrinsic DR interferogram), it is possible to obtain the same information. Such a non-invasive technique can be directly used for ultra-short bunch length measurements. Recently the first experiment with a double DR target was carried out at the SINAP fs linac facility** with parameters described in***. The double DR target was consisted of two plates made from Al foil. The pyro-electric detector SPI-D-62 was used. Here we report the results of the second stage of our investigations. The DR interferograms of different electron bunch length were measured. The bunch length was reconstructed using the heuristic model based on the dimension theory and simulation data. We compare the results from DR interferograms and Michelson interferometer measurements and show their similarity.
