Dynamics of longitudinal phase-space modulations in an rf compressor for electron beams

Free-electron lasers operating in the UV or x-ray radiation spectrum require peak beam currents that are generally higher than those obtainable by present electron sources, thus making bunch compression necessary. Compression, however, may heighten the effects of collective forces and degrade the be...
