Coherent γ-ray Generation By Partially Stripped Ion Beams
Nicola Piovella, Gordon R. M Robb
We describe a scheme for generation of coherent -rays by backscattering intense visible laser light from a beam of partially stripped ions. The scheme is similar in principle to…
Density matrix approach for quantum free-electron lasers
H. Fares, G. R. M. Robb, N. Piovella
The density matrix in the Lindblad form is used to describe the behavior of the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) operating in a quantum regime. The detrimental effects of the spontaneous…
Parametric optimization for an x-ray Free Electron Laser with a laser wiggler
R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, M. M. Cola
In this paper we optimize the experimental parameters to operate a Free Electron Laser with a laser wiggler in the Angstrom region. We show that the quantum regime of the Self Ampl…
Quantum theory of SASE FEL
R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, G. R. M. Robb
We describe a free-electron laser (FEL) in the Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) regime quantizing the electron motion and taking into account propagation effects. We demo…
Multi-cell RF Injectors Driven by Thermoionic Cathodes
N. Piovella, L. Serafini, M. Ferrario
We present the anticipated performances of a multi-cell RF injector operated either with a thermoionic cathode or with a gated photo-cathode. By means of a magnetic compression and…
