【Abstract】 Background: Longitudinal electron bunch length is an important parameter in accelerator beam diagnostics. It plays a significant role in single-pass free electron lasers, since the high-gain Free Electron Laser(FEL) process depends strongly on a high peak current of the electron bunches. Purpose: It is necessary to measure the electron bunch lengths in both Shanghai Deep Ultra-Violet Free Electron Laser(SDUV-FEL) and Shanghai X-ray Free Electron Laser(SXFEL). Methods: In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of three standard diagnostic tools for bunch length measurement are compared and a measuring system based on coherent transition radiation(CTR) for SDUV-FEL and SXFEL is designed and analyzed. Results: The simulation shows that the measuring system can measure the electron bunch length from 20 fs to 1 ps effectively and time resolution of the measuring system can reach 20 fs. Conclusion: Electron bunch length measurement by means of CTR is an easy way to achieve high time resolution with inexpensive experimental instruments. The measuring system meets the demands of SDUV-FEL and SXFEL well.更多还原
