Abstract :
Two compressed electron beam bunches from a single 60-MeV bunch have been generated in a reproducible manner during compression in the magnetic chicane - "dog leg" arrangement at ATF. Measurements indicate they have comparable bunch lengths (~100-200 fs) and are separated in energy by ~1.8 MeV with the higher- energy bunch preceding the lower-energy bunch by 0.5-1 ps [1]. Some simulation results for analyzing the double- bunch formation process are also presented.
