Initial source of microbunching instability studies in a free electron laser injector

We present the first experimental studies of the initial source of electron beam microbunching instability in a free electron laser (FEL) injector. By utilizing for the studies a transform-limited laser pulse at the photocathode, we eliminated laser-induced microbunching at the National Synchrotron...
