Limitations of electron beam conditioning for free-electron lasers
Several ideas have been proposed to “condition” an electron beam prior to the undulator of a free-electron laser (FEL) by increasing each particle’s energy in proportion to the square of its transverse betatron amplitude. This conditioning enhances FEL gain by reducing the axial velocity spread with...
