Electron slicing for the generation of tunable femtosecond soft x-ray pulses from a free electron laser and slice diagnostics

We present the experimental results of femtosecond slicing an ultrarelativistic, high brightness electron beam with a collimator. In contrast to some qualitative considerations reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 074801 (2004)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.92.074801, we first demonstrate that the c...
