Abstract
This paper numerically and experimentally demonstrates the influence of the space charge forces in short electron bunches on the spectrum of coherent transition radiation. To estimate and optimize dimensions of a short electron bunches produced by the KEK LUCX RF gun, ASTRA software was employed. Obtained results indicate that the modification of the femtosecond UV laser pulse transverse profile allows to decrease the space charge forces. The simulation results were confirmed experimentally with the good agreement.
