Effects of beam-tube roughness on x-ray free electron laser performance

In an x-ray free electron laser like the Linear Coherent Light Source being designed at SLAC, electron bunches about 70μm FWHM long are sent into a beam tube only 5 mm in internal diameter and more than 100 m in length. Because of the surface roughness of the beam tube, wakefields can be generated...
