Mitigation of microbunching instability in x-ray free electron laser linacs

The microbunching instability seeded by small initial density modulation and driven by collective effects can cause significant electron beam quality degradation in next generation x-ray free electron lasers. A method exploiting longitudinal mixing derived from the natural transverse spread of the e...
