System for Bunch Length Measurements behind the Injector of S-DALINAC* — •A. Brauch, M. Arnold, J. Enders, L. Jürgensen, and N. Pietralla — Technische Universität Darmstadt, Department of Physics, Institut für Kernphysik, Darmstadt, Deutschland

The estimation of the bunch length in accelerators is vital for monitoring and preserving the quality of the beam. At the S-DALINAC accelerating cavities are used for measuring this parameter at higher energies. However, values obtained by this method only serve as an upper estimate for the bunch length. A new setup involving a streak camera will be used to provide accurate evaluations of the small bunch lengths of < 2 ps at the S-DALINAC. An integrative measurement with a comparable resolution to the bunch length at different positions behind the injector is planned. This contribution will present the layout of this system, its current status and design considerations.
