Microbunching instability in single-pass systems using a direct two-dimensional Vlasov solver

We apply a recently developed Vlasov solver to the study of the microbunching instability generated by shot noise in the beam delivery systems of x-ray free electron lasers (FELs). We discuss two lattices presently under consideration for the FEL Fermi project at Elettra and show that at least one o...
