  Error propagation of RF phase jitter is analysed for various linac layout configurations and the sensitivity of the compression ratio due to RF phase jitter is analysed. Multiple sources of jitter have the opportunity to destructively interfere, and (perhaps counter intuitively) found to not add in quadrature. Results are compared to Elegant simulations.

  Current horns are ubiquitous in Free Electron Laser (FEL) bunch compression. In this paper, we analyse the formation of these current spikes and identify the cause as caustic formation in the electron trajectories. We also present a possible solution to avoid or mitigate the current horns from developing through using optical linearization.
