Determination of the Timing Jitter of THz-Synchrotron Radiation by a Cross-Correlation Technique

The pulse jitter of THz synchrotron radiation has been derived from the analysis of broadband cross-correlation measurements performed at the synchrotron Metrology Light Source. The pulse jitter is extracted by comparing equivalent autocorrelation measurements recorded with identical beam optics. A pulse jitter of 1.1 ps has been found.
