Performance of the Time Resolved Spectrometer for the 5 MeV Photo-Injector PHIN

Abstract

The PHIN photo-injector test facility is being commissioned at CERN to demonstrate the capability to produce the required beam for the 3rd CLIC Test Facility (CTF3), which includes the production of a 3.5A stable beam, bunched at 1.5 GHz with a relative energy spread of less than 1%. A 90◦ spectrometer is instrumented with an OTR screen coupled to a gated intensified camera, followed by a segmented beam dump for time resolved energy measurements. The following paper describes the transverse and temporal resolution of the instrumentation with an outlook towards single-bunch energy measurements
