Dispersion effects on performance of the free-electron laser FLASH

This paper studies the impact of transverse dispersion on the free-electron laser (FEL) performance in two main aspects: radiation power sensitivity to electron beam energy offset and radiation wavelength spectrum. Since these issues are related to electron trajectories, studies on the FEL power dep...
