TUPMA003 | Microbunching Phenomena in LCLS-II | 1843 |

Funding: Work supported by DOE, in part under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 and through the LCLS-II project. The microbunching instability has long been recognized as a potential limiting factor to the performance of X-ray FELs. It is of particular relevance in LCLS-II due, in part, to a layout that includes a long bypass beamline between the Linac and the undulators. Here we focus on two aspects of the instability that highlight the importance of 3D effects. |

Collective Dynamics and Coherent Diagnostics of Microbunched Relativistic Electron Beams | |
|
||
The generation of microbunching due to collective interactions is a key subject in relativistic electron beams. Often regarded as a parasitic effect, in recent times the use of the microbunching instability has been investigated in the context of generating coherent broadband radiation pulses and coherent electron cooling. In my talk I will review the core topics of my doctoral work. I will begin by describing the three-dimensional kinetic theory of the longitudinal space-charge interactions, which I used to lay the foundations of a fully kinetic treatment of the microbunching instability. I will then present the results of my experimental activity at the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator of SLAC. In particular I will discuss the generation of coherent broadband photon pulses in a cascaded longitudinal space-charge amplifier, and the use of coherent diffraction imaging techniques for the diagnosis of beam microbunching. | ||
