摘要
Coherent enhancement of the Smith-Purcell radiation produced from the interaction of a 1.8 MeV electron beam with a grating has been observed. The emitted radiation has been measured at angles in the 40degrees to 120degrees range, which correspond to wavelengths from 0.65 to 4 mm, approximately. The radiated power was 320 mW at 90degrees. Its angular distribution agrees well with the description of the process in terms of induced surface currents and has been used to infer the longitudinal profile of the electron bunch. It is concluded that the bunch has an approximately triangular profile, with 85% of the bunch particles contained within 14 ps. The possibilities of the technique as a bunch-shape diagnostic tool are also discussed.
