Suppression of microbunching instability with magnetic bunch length compression in a linac-based free electron laser

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of the magnetic bunch length compression on the development of the microbunching instability. It will be shown that, after removing the linear energy chirp required for the compression, an additional and properly tuned R_{56} transport matrix elemen...
