High Repetition Rate, Single-Shot Electro-Optical Monitoring of Longitudinal Electron Bunch Dynamics Using the Linear Array Detector KALYPSO

High repetition rate diagnostics are required when detecting single-shot electro-optical profiles. The KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) is the first and only storage ring that has a nearfield electro-optical bunch-profile monitor in operation. By imprinting longitudinal electron bunch profiles onto chirped laser pulses, single-shot detection is feasible. However, limitations of available detection systems are still challenging. A fast readout is crucial for diagnostics at high repetition rates (above hundreds of kHz). We developed KALYPSO (KArlsruhe Linear array detector for MHzrePetition rate SpectrOscopy), a linear detector array with a data acquisition system (DAQ) allowing high data-rates over long time scales. In this contribution, we present recent results on studies of longitudinal electron bunch dynamics using KALYPSO.
