Coherent photons with angular momentum in a helical afterburner

We analytically examine several important characteristics of coherent radiation emitted from a relativistic electron beam in a helical undulator. The goal is to highlight specific attributes relevant to the production of bright x-rays with angular momentum in a free-electron laser (FEL) afterburner....
