A femtosecond single-bunch electron linear accelerator based on a photocathode rf gun was developed in Osaka University for the study of radiation-induced ultrafast physical and chemical reactions. A 32 MeV single electron bunch with a bunch length of 98 fs in rms was generated successfully in the linear accelerator with a magnet bunch compressor. The dependences of the bunch length and the transverse emittance on the bunch charge were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The higher-order effects in the magnetic field were studied and compensated successfully by using a nonlinear energy-phase correlation in the bunch produced in the linear accelerator. By using the femtosecond electron bunch, an equivalent velocity spectroscopy with a synchronized femtosecond laser, as a new method with femtosecond time-resolution, was developed for study of the ultrafast reactions or phenomena on the femtosecond time scale.
