Abstract
Charged particle bunch length detection is one of the most challenging measurements in particle and accelerator physics, especially when the bunch length reduces below tens of femtoseconds. Since these measurements are most critical in high energy electron accelerators and devices with ultrashort electron bunches - such as the plasma wakefield and related accelerators - this discussion is limited to electron bunch detection, although the results clearly have significance for any ultra-relativistic particle bunches.
