Experimental demonstration of enhanced self-amplified spontaneous emission by photocathode temporal shaping and self-compression in a magnetic wiggler
In this paper we demonstrate experimentally the generation of attosecond soft x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses based on a novel approach to enhanced self-amplified spontaneous emission. Instead of utilizing an external laser, we shape the electron beam at the cathode by laser pulse stacking....
