Transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange to improve performance of high-gain free-electron lasers
The ability to generate small transverse emittance is perhaps the main limiting factor for the performance of high-gain x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs). Noting that beams from an rf photocathode gun can have energy spread much smaller than required for efficient FEL interaction, we present a metho...
