Abstract
This chapter describes an experiment which was performed at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory using the ALICE accelerator. This experiment attempted to modulate the energy of a 25 MeV electron bunch via the co-propagation of terahertz radiation and a particle bunch. The terahertz frequency radiation used in this experiment was produced by a radially biased PCA that was pumped with a regenerative amplifier laser system. Alignment procedures and terahertz detection schemes are presented along with the results obtained. The detection optics, cameras and software developed are described along with the choices behind why the particular devices used were chosen.
