Goals

  • Serve as an accelerator test facility
    • New beam diagnostics methods and tools
    • Synchronization on a femtosecond level
       
  • Systematic bunch compression studies
    • Different compression schemes
    • Wide charge range from 1 pC up to 3 nC per bunch
    • Wide bunch length range from 1 fs up to 300 fs
       
  • Compare different coherent THz radiation generation schemes in simulation and experiment
    • Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR)
    • Coherent Edge Radiation (CER)
    • Coherent Transition Radiation (CTR)
       
  • Create intense THz radiation
    • Spectral range up to 30 THz
    • High electric peak fields up to 1 GV/m
