Broadband hard X-ray attosecond pulses from extremely chirped electron beams
River Robles, Veronica Guo, David Cesar +10
Attosecond pulses from free-electron lasers have opened the doors to atomic site-specific studies of bound electronic dynamics on their natural, sub-femtosecond timescales. Key to…
Advanced Control of Electron Beams: Tailoring X-ray Production with Programmable Laser Shaping
Jack Hirschman, Randy Lemons, Hao Zhang +23
Leveraging the full scientific capabilities of next-generation high-repetition-rate free-electron lasers requires programmable control over electron-beam properties at their source…
Beam Halo Formation via Longitudinal-Transverse Coupling in Continuous-Wave Photoinjectors
Zhen Zhang, Yuantao Ding, David Cesar +3
Beam halo formation poses a critical challenge for high-repetition-rate continuous-wave (CW) free-electron lasers (FELs), directly affecting beam quality and machine protection, as…
Spectrotemporal shaping of attosecond x-ray pulses with a fresh-slice free-electron laser
River R. Robles, Kirk A. Larsen, David Cesar +14
We propose a scheme allowing coherent shaping, i.e., controlling both the amplitude and phase, of attosecond x-ray pulses at free-electron lasers. We show that by seeding an FEL wi…
