— A dual-slit dissector operating in the crossed-sweep mode with a picosecond time resolution has been created on the basis of the PIF-01 image converter tube. The dissector is applicable to synchrotron radiation sources and electron-positron colliders when it is necessary to simultaneously record longitudinal profiles of multi-bunch beams that fill two to several hundred adjacent separatrices of an accelerator ring. Two trains of light pulses shifted in time with respect to each other have been recorded with a time resolution of 6.0 ± 0.5 ps during the dynamic tests of the developed dissector with a laser system.
