Beam instability and microbunching due to coherent synchrotron radiation

A relativistic electron beam moving in a circular orbit in free space can radiate coherently if the wavelength of the synchrotron radiation exceeds the length of the bunch. In accelerators coherent synchrotron radiation of the bunch is usually suppressed by the shielding effect of the conducting wal...
