The spectrum of relativistic electron bunches with large energy dispersion is hardly obtainable with conventional magnetic spectrometers. We present a novel spectroscopic concept, based on the analysis of the photons generated by Thomson Scattering of a probe laser pulse inpinging with arbitrary incidence angle onto the electron bunch. The feasibility of a single-pulse spectrometer, using an energy-calibrated CCD device as detector, is investigated. Numerical simulations performed in conditions typical of a real experiment show the effectiveness and accuracy of the new method.
