Previous studies have demonstrated that coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) can be used for relativistic electron bunch time profile reconstruction at pico-second and femtosecond scales. The E203 experiments undertaken in May 2015 at FACET (SLAC) were dedicated to the study of some properties of cSPr, namely the azimuthal distribution and the polarization of the radiation. The experimental set up description which allowed such studies will be presented along with the results. To understand the experimental data both semi-analytical and numerical models were studied. The semi-analytical approach was based on the surface-current model, and the 3D particle-in-cell code VSim was used for numerical modeling. The experimental and theoretical studies are compared.

Accurate knowledge of the longitudinal profile of the bunch is important in the context of linear colliders, wake-field accelerators and for the next generation of light sources. As a result the non-destructive, single-shot evaluation of the profile is one of the challenging problems which can be addressed via spectral analysis of coherent radiation generated by a charged particle bunch. To reconstruct the bunch profile from the spectrum the phase retrieval problem has to be solved. Frequently applied methods, e.g. minimal phase retrieval or other iterative algorithms, are reliable if the Blaschke phase contribution is negligible. This is neither known a priori nor can it be assumed to apply to an arbitrary bunch profile. We present a novel approach which gives reproducible, most-probable and stable reconstructions for bunch profiles that would otherwise remain unresolved by the existing techniques. The algorithm proposed uses the output of Kramers-Kronig minimum phase as both initial and boundary conditions, providing a unique solution. To assure a converging solution, new conditions linked to the independently known experimental data such as beam charge were introduced.
