Reduction of arrival time jitter or energy spread with arclike variable bunch compressors

Abstract

Synchronizing free-electron laser pulses for time-resolved experiments is necessary as an unsynchronized system reduces the effective repetition rate of the experiment. Additionally, free-electron laser longitudinal coherence and spectral brightness are limited by electron beam energy spread. In this paper, a variable bunch compressor design and compression schemes were developed to: reduce klystron-induced arrival time jitter by 85% while preserving peak current and transverse emittance and to minimize electron beam correlated energy spread for potential self-seeding or HB-SASE modes.
