The removal of residual chirp in XFELs is of paramount importance for efficient lasing. Although current S-band XFELs remove the unwanted residual chirp using off-crest acceleration after the final bunch compressor, this technique is not possible for XFELs with soft X-ray lines as there are no further accelerating structures. The off-crest dechirping technique is also expensive for future superconducting XFELs. In response, RadiaBeam Systems presents its work, building upon the theoretical work of Bane and Stupakov*, in RF-free residual chirp mitigation using only passive techniques. Beam-induced longitudinal wakefields are produced with opposing corrugated plates which allow for an entirely RF-free chirp removal. Theory, engineering, and experimental results are presented.
