Krinsky See Also: Erratum Received 19 March 2002; published 5 June 2002 The coherent synchrotron radiation of a bunch in a bunch compressor may lead to the microwave instability producing longitudinal modulation of the bunch with wavelengths small compared to the bunch length. It can also be a source of an undesirable emittance growth in the compressor. We derive and analyze the equation that describes linear evolution of the microwave modulation taking into account incoherent energy spread and finite emittance of the beam. Numerical solution of this equation for the Linac Coherent Light Source bunch compressor gives the amplification factor for different wavelengths of the beam microbunching. ©2002 The American Physical Society
