Abstract

Synchrotron radiation interferometry is a method to measure transverse beam size in electron accelerators. By using synchrotron radiation interferometry at a dispersive location in CEBAF at Jefferson Lab, we measure the electron beam size and energy spread. This interferometry technique allows us to monitor the energy spread non-invasively, to measure precise electron beam rms energy spread for hypernuclear experiments, and verify that they meet experiment requirements in real time. This dissertation discusses the design, simulations, construction, and commissioning of this Synchrotron Radiation Interferometer (SRI) in the Hall C line at Jefferson Lab in 2024–2025.
