Techniques to bunch or shape an electron beam at low energies (E <15 MeV) have important implications toward the realization of table-top radiation sources [1] or to the design of compact multi-user free-electron lasers[2]. This paper provides an overview of alternative methods recently developed including techniques such as wakefield-based bunching, space-charge-driven microbunching via wave-breaking [3], ab-initio shaping of the electron-emission process [4], and phase space exchangers. Practical applications of some of these methods to foreseen free-electron-laser configurations are also briefly discussed [5].

Cascaded longitudinal space-charge amplifier (LSCA) have been proposed as a mechanism to generate density modulation over broadband.[1] The scheme was recently demonstrated in the optical regime and confirmed the production of broadband optical radiation.[2] In this paper we investigate, via numerical simulations, the performances of a cascaded LSCA beamline at the Fermilab's Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) to produce broadband ultraviolet radiation. Our studies are carried using a three-dimensional space charge algorithm coupled with ELEGANT [3] and based on a tree-based space-charge algorithm (see details in Ref. [4])
