LWS : Conclusion and Perspectives LWS : Conclusion and Perspectives

  • Thomson photons have been detected
  • LWS profiles are in accordance with the beam dimension measured by optical means
  • Small offsets of maximum 2ps and 150µm have been observed which corresponds to the

accuracy of the overlap technique.

  • The signal to noise ratio is still too low to allow an accurate measurement

Possible improvements using a second detector in parallel for direct background measurement (gain a factor 2)

  • Background consideration is a key issue in the use of LWS. The main source of background

comes from the accelerating cavity (beam halo losses)

  • With our background subtraction technique we can tolerate a signal to noise ratio of 1/10.
  • Concerning the CTF3 machine, a much higher laser power would be required to the obtain an

adequate signal to noise ratio. Q-switched lasers do not deliver enough power Ti:Sapphire lasers must be foreseen (but very expensive)
