Abstract
Sub-picosecond electron bunch creation has, thus far, been realized with the use of
femtosecond lasers interacting with cold ions, cathodes, and plasmas. We present a novel
technique for the creation of sub-picosecond electron bunches without the use of
cumbersome femtosecond laser systems. Using a 30 keV electron beam from an SEM, we
will utilize an rf-cavity operating at 3 GHz in the TM110 mode and an aperture to chop the
beam into sub-picosecond bunches. Simulations and calculations have demonstrated that
it is possible to chop the beam into femtosecond pulses without seriously disrupting the
transverse emittance of the electron bunches. The experimental setup is currently under
construction.
