A beamline to control longitudinal phase space whilst transporting laser wakefield accelerated electrons to an undulator

Abstract Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) can produce high-energy electron bunches in short distances. Successfully coupling these sources with undulators has the potential to form an LWFA-driven free-electron laser (FEL), providing high-intensity short-wavelength radiation. Electron bunches pro...
