Generation of stable subfemtosecond hard x-ray pulses with optimized nonlinear bunch compression
In this paper, we propose a simple scheme that leverages existing x-ray free-electron laser hardware to produce stable single-spike, subfemtosecond x-ray pulses. By optimizing a high-harmonic radio-frequency linearizer to achieve nonlinear compression of a low-charge (20 pC) electron beam, we obtain...
