Intense Superradiant X Rays from a Compact Source Using a Nanocathode Array and Emittance Exchange

A novel method of producing intense short wavelength radiation from relativistic electrons is described. The electrons are periodically bunched at the wavelength of interest enabling in-phase superradiant emission that is far more intense than from unbunched electrons. The periodic bunching is achie...
