Abstract

Usage of a cavity with a high quality factor in a streak camera (SC) allows us to increase the energy of electrons up to 100 keV and therefore to reduce the influence of some of the effects that limit the SC time resolution. Time resolution up to 1.4 ps on a prototype of a radio-frequency-based SC (RFC) with circular scanning was demonstrated earlier. Following this, the new RFC was produced. The possibility of achieving a time resolution of 0.6 ps for a 350-ps single light signal is demonstrated. Preparation for experiments with spiral scanning (sub-ps time resolution for 10-ns process duration) is in progress.
