| Summary:
This article investigates electron bunch density fluctuations in the 1 – 10 $μm$ wavelength range, focusing on their impact on coherent electron cooling (CEC) in hadron storage rings. In this study, we thoroughly compare the shot-noise model with experimental observations of optical transition radiation (OTR) generated by a relativistic electron bunch ($γapprox$ 50), transiting an Aluminium metal surface. The bunch parameters are close to those proposed for a stage in an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), where the bunch size is much larger than the OTR wavelength being measured. Here we present measurements and particle tracking results of both the low-level noise for the EIC bunch parameters and longitudinal space-charge-induced microbunching for the chicane-compressed bunch with coherent OTR enhancements up to 100 times in the various bandwidth-filtered near-infrared (NIR) OTR photodiode signals. We also discuss the corresponding limitations of the OTR method.
