Abstract

The generation of ultra-short electron bunches with ultra-low timing-jitter relative to the photocathode (PC)laser has been experimentally proved for the first time at the SPARC_LAB test-facility (INFN-LNF, Frascati) exploiting a two-stage hybrid compression scheme. The first stage employs RFbased compression (velocity-bunching), which shortens the bunch and imprints an energy chirp on it. The second stage is performed in a non-isochronous dogleg line, where the compression is completed resulting in a final bunch duration below 90 fs(rms). At the same time, the beam arrival timing-jitter with respect to the PC laser has been measured to be lower than 20 fs(rms). The reported results have been validated with numerical simulations.
