Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 5, 074401 (2002) [7 pages]Formulas for coherent synchrotron radiation microbunching in a bunch compressor chicane
Zhirong Huang * and Kwang-Je Kim See Also: Erratum Received 25 April 2002; published 17 July 2002 A microbunching instability driven by coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in a bunch compressor chicane is studied using an iterative solution of the integral equation that governs this process. By including both one-stage and two-stage amplifications, we obtain analytical expressions for CSR microbunching that are valid in both low-gain and high-gain regimes. These formulas can be used to explore the dependence of CSR microbunching on compressed beam current, energy spread, and emittance, and to design stable bunch compressors required for an x-ray free-electron laser. ©2002 The American Physical Society
