Observation of THz coherent transition radiation from single-bunch beam at KURRI-LINAC as an intense pulsed light source

A single-bunch beam has been generated using a developed high-speed avalanche-type pulser in KURRI-LINAC in order to lift restrictions of the spectral resolution in the spectroscopic study and the delay time in the time-resolved measurement. Both of the rise and fall times of the developed pulser are 110 ps. The observation of CTR has confirmed the single-bunch beam. The degree of impurity of single bunch has been estimated to be 1.5% by the analysis of the interferogram.
