Abstract
Pulse compression of submillimeter long electron bunches at the Vander bilt FEL has been observed. The bunch length is determined by analyzin g the coherent transition radiation spectrum produced by the charge di stribution, and we show that bunch length changes as small as 15 mu m (corresponding to 50 fs) can be detected.
