  Linear focal Cherenkov ring camera (LFC-Camera) has been developed for single shot measurement of longitudinal phase space distribution of quasi-relativistic electron beam, where the electron's velocity still depends on its energy. The LFC-camera employs velocity dependence of opening angle of Cherenkov light produced by electron beam to observe its energy (momentum) distribution. Since the Cherenkov light contains the time information if the radiator medium is thin enough, we can get the longitudinal phase space distribution measuring both time and energy spectra simultaneously using a streak camera. We employ a thin silica aerogel with water-free hydrophobic treatment as Cherenkov radiator. We have evaluated characteristics of the silica aerogel radiator, and demonstration of the LFC-camera at a beam diagnosis section of t-ATCS is being proceeded.

  An accelerator test facility, t-ACTS, was established at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, in which an intense coherent terahertz (THz) radiation is generated from an extremely short electron bunch. Velocity bunching scheme in a traveling-wave accelerating structure is employed to produce the short electron bunch, and a production of sub-picosecond electron bunch was demonstrated. A long-period linear undulator, which has 25 periods with a period length of 10 cm and a peak magnetic field of 0.41 T, has been developed to produce intense coherent THz radiation. Properties of the radiation from the THz undulator such as radiation fields, spectrum and angular distribution were numerically investigated based on the parameters of short electron bunch and THz undulator. By optimization of bunch compression, it is possible to extract a coherent radiation of fundamental mode excluding higher-order mode. The detail of the numerical studies for the coherent undulator radiation will be reported in the conference.

  A test-Accelerator as Coherent Terahertz Source (t-ACTS) project has been under development at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. In order to generate a coherent radiation in terahertz (THz) region, it is necessary to produce sub-picosecond electron pulses. Velocity bunching scheme is employed for the short electron pulse production in t-ACTS. We experimentally confirmed the production of short electron pulse under 500 fs by measuring the bunch length using a streak camera. Coherent transition radiation in THz region was produced by which the short electron pulses pass through a vacuum-metal interface. Several radiation properties including spatial distribution, polarization and spectrum were measured and compared with theoretical calculations. The details of the beam experiment at t-ACTS are described.
