Time-resolved imaging of the microbunching instability and energy spread at the Linac Coherent Light Source

The microbunching instability (MBI) is a well-known problem for high brightness electron beams and has been observed at accelerator facilities around the world. Free-electron lasers (FELs) are particularly susceptible to MBI, which can distort the longitudinal phase space and increase the beam’s sli...
