Description
Recent advances in THz acceleration have shown promise for manipulation of mega-electron volt scale electron bunches with high efficiency and small footprint. Over the years we have established various new techniques for THz-driven pulse compression and timing diagnostics utilizing single and dual-fed THz compressor structures to enable much shorter electron pulses and simultaneously improve the time-of-arrival (TOA) jitter. This talk will provide an overview of this effort with recent results of THz structures testing, and also novel ideas for THz generation, coupling, and transport toward improved efficiency of THz driven electron diagnostics.
