Coherent optical transition radiation and self-amplified spontaneous emission generated by chicane-compressed electron beams

Observations of strongly enhanced optical transition radiation (OTR) following significant bunch compression of photoinjector beams by a chicane have been reported during the commissioning of the Linac Coherent Light Source accelerator and recently at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) linac. These lo...
