Comparison of the coherent radiation-induced microbunching instability in a free-electron laser and a magnetic chicane

A self-amplified spontaneous emission free-electron laser (SASE FEL) is a device which is based on the creation of a very intense, relativistic electron beam which has very little temperature in all three phase planes. The beam in this system is described as having “high brightness,” and when it is...
