A Picosecond Electron-Optical Dissector for Detecting Synchrotron Radiation

Abstract

A new-generation dissector has developed on the basis of a modified PIF-01 image converter tube for the timing diagnostics of charged particle beams in accelerators. Pilot models of the detector have been produced. The time resolution obtained in the dynamic tests at the laser facility is ~2 ps, which is better by more than an order of magnitude than the corresponding parameter of the available LI-602 dissector. The pilot models of the new dissector have been successfully tested in experiments at the Metrology Light Source (MLS) accelerator (Berlin, Germany).
