Laser-driven bunch compression for ultrashort free-electron laser pulses
Ph. Amstutz, W. Helml, S. Khan +4
Generation of ultrashort X-ray pulses in a free-electron laser relies on high-density electron bunches with a precisely adjusted current and energy distribution. To this end, robus…
Obtaining high degree of circular polarization at X-ray FELs via a reverse undulator taper
E. A. Schneidmiller, M. V. Yurkov
Baseline design of a typical X-ray FEL undulator assumes a planar configuration which results in a linear polarization of the FEL radiation. However, many experiments at X-ray FEL…
Using the longitudinal space charge instability for generation of VUV and X-ray radiation
E. A. Schneidmiller, M. V. Yurkov
Longitudinal space charge (LSC) driven microbunching instability in electron beam formation systems of X-ray FELs is a recently discovered effect hampering beam instrumentation and…
Possible operation of the European XFEL with ultra-low emittance beams
R. Brinkmann, E. A. Schneidmiller, M. V. Yurkov
Recent successful lasing of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in the hard x-ray regime and the experimental demonstration of a possibility to produce low-charge bunches with u…
Statistical and coherence properties of radiation from X-ray free electron lasers
E. L. Saldin, E. A. Schneidmiller, M. V. Yurkov
We describe statistical and coherence properties of the radiation from x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). It is shown that the X-ray FEL radiation before saturation is described wi…
Method for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of ultrashort relativistic electron bunches
Gianluca Geloni, Petr Ilinski, Evgeni Saldin +2
We describe a novel technique to characterize ultrashort electron bunches in X-ray Free-Electron Lasers. Namely, we propose to use coherent Optical Transition Radiation to measure…
