Abstract
We investigate the practical implementation of a previously proposed method for determining the transverse dimensions of an electron beam on a target by measuring the two-dimensional angular distributions of diffracted transition radiation of relativistic electrons for two distances between the crystal where the radiation is generated and the coordinate detector for femtosecond bunches. We show that determining electron microbunches with small longitudinal sizes requires an increased photon energy, achieved by decreasing the observation angle. The sensitivity limits of the method and the influence of the emission of secondary electrons and photons from the detector pixels are discussed.
