TI - Novel Single Shot Bunch Length Diagnostic using Coherent Diffraction Radiation J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - Current beam bunch length monitors which measure the spectral content of beam-associated coherent radiation to determine the longitudinal bunch form factor usually require wide bandwidth detection or Fourier transformation of interferometric data and multiple beam pulses. The data must then be Fourier transformed to obtain the bunch length. In this contribution we discuss progress in the development of a novel single shot method that utilizes the frequency integrated angular distribution (AD) of coherent diffraction radiation (CDR) to measure the RMS bunch length directly. We also present simulation results which show how the AD changes with bunch length for several electron beam linacs, where we are planning to test this new method, our single shot measurement technique and plans for comparison to other bunch length monitors.
