Abstract

Relativistic electron beams are being generated with emittances low enough that diffraction radiation can be used for beam diagnostics. Techniques based on diffraction radiation can be used to measure the beam transverse momentum distribution and to measure the transverse spatial distribution. The radiation is intense and can be in the visible spectral region where optical diagnostic techniques can be used to maximum advantage.

    Diffraction radiation of a charged particle, apart from its general physical meaning and diverse applications, e.g., a possibility of using it to generate intense radiation from the millimeter to UV and X-ray regions, is of certain interest for the diagnostics of charged particles beams—“Nondestructive beam diagnostics” [1–7].
