L. Carr, W. S. Graves †, and H. Loos Received 15 November 2002; published 18 March 2003 We present an experimental evidence of a bunch compression scheme that uses a traveling wave accelerating structure as a compressor. The bunch length issued from a laser-driven radio-frequency electron source was compressed by a factor >3 using an S-band traveling wave structure located immediately downstream from the electron source. Experimental data are found to be in good agreement with particle tracking simulations. ©2003 The American Physical Society
