Abstract
The results of a comparison of the autocorrelation functions of coherent transition radiation obtained experimentally on the microtron of the Tomsk Polytechnic University and by simulation methods are presented. The conditions of the experiment and the mathematical basis of the simulation are described in detail. Comparison of experimental and simulated data have shown good agreement. It is demonstrated that the autocorrelation function of the transition radiation depends on the temporal structure of the electron beam and can be used as a precision method for measuring the delay time between electron bunches.
