Compact double-bunch x-ray free electron lasers for fresh bunch self-seeding and harmonic lasing
This paper presents a novel method to improve the longitudinal coherence, efficiency and maximum photon energy of x-ray free electron lasers (XFELs). The method is equivalent to having two separate concatenated XFELs. The first uses one bunch of electrons to reach the saturation regime, generating a...
