Temporal characterization of laser plasma accelerated electron bunches by CTR — •Matthias Heigoldt1, Antonia Popp1, Svetoslav Bajlekov2, Johannes Wenz1, Konstantin Krenikov1, Shao-Wei Chou1, Raphael Weingartner1, Simon Hooker2, Ferenc Krausz1, and Stefan Karsch11Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany — 2Claredon Laboratory, Univeristy of Oxford, Oxford, UK

Laser driven plasma accelerators offer the prospect of a new source of relativistic electron beams. One of the key parameters to be determined is the temporal profile of the electron bunch. Available experimental data show bunch lengths <30fs, however, best estimates still rely on particle-in-cell simulations predicting durations of ∼10fs.

We report on progress towards measuring the temporal profile of electron bunches from a laser-wakefield accelerator, based on the detection of coherent THZ radiation emitted at a metal-vacuum boundary. The construction of a broadband (2–40µ m ) spectrometer based on pyroelectric detectors as well as a numerical assessment of its capabilities will be presented.
