Microbunching instability study in a linac-driven free electron laser spreader beam line

Suppression of the microbunching instability is a priority for free electron lasers (FELs) whose goal is production of intense coherent radiation with very narrow spectral bandwidth. The instability can have large gain in multibend switchyard lines that connect the accelerator to multiple undulator...
