High-resolution dispersion-based measurement of the electron beam energy spread

The energy spread of the electron beam is a critical parameter in x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) and needs to be optimized for best performance. The uncorrelated energy spread of the electrons can be a few keV or less in XFEL injectors, thus very challenging to measure. The standard method to ch...
