Nanomodulated electron beams via electron diffraction and emittance exchange for coherent x-ray generation

We present a new method for generation of relativistic electron beams with current modulation on the nanometer scale and below. The current modulation is produced by diffracting relativistic electrons in single crystal Si, accelerating the diffracted beam and imaging the crystal structure, then tran...
