Description
A ramped electron bunch (i.e. one having a current density which rises linearly from the head to the tail and then drops sharply to zero) has been predicted to be an ideal drive beam for the plasma wake field accelerator due to the large transformer ratio it is capable of generating. A scheme was recently proposed for the creation of a relativistic electron bunch that approximates a ramped current profile [England, et al., AIP Conf. Proc. 647, p.884 (2002)], using a dogleg or dispersionless translating section as a bunch compressor. An experiment is underway at the Neptune laboratory using this scheme to create such a beam. The diagnostic being developed for measuring the temporal profile of the beam is an X-Band transverse deflecting mode cavity
