Longitudinal electron bunch profile reconstruction by performing phase retrieval on coherent transition radiation spectra

The application of phase-retrieval algorithms to the reconstruction of the longitudinal bunch profile of an electron bunch from the spectrum of the coherent transition radiation (CTR) it produces is considered. The development of a new algorithm for this application, the Bubblewrap algorithm, is des...
