Key technology: How to handle beam loading: • Eacc=115 MV/m • Gaussian Electron bunch • Large energy spread • Strongly chirped in energy Accelerated current Wakefield • ~DE=30 MV/m
Key Technology: Undulator Strongly chirped beams for FEL applications Longitudinal Gradient Tapering the undulator strength or period can counteract large energy chirp and maintain gain Transverse Gradient Varying the undulator strength transversely can counteract large energy chirp and maintain gain N Smaller undulator strength K Larger undulator strength K S BAD: Accelerated beam is strongly chirped (little FEL gain) BAD: Using the chirp to compress the beam does not seem to be useful for radiation GOOD: For short beams (<10 mm rms) the energy chirp is approximately linear in time
Strongly chirped beams for FEL applications: preliminary results witness beam chirp Example: Longitudinal Gradient Tapering the undulator strength K Power evolution of DWFA beam + undulator taper Power profile near saturation z/LG = 20 Chirped SASE spectrum near saturation z/LG = 20 Nonlinear regime Linear gain Some applications favor wide bandwidth 21

Minimization of the energy spread in a witness bunch Courtesy of E. Simakov, LANL By additionally customizing the shape of the main bunch we designed the configuration which minimizes the wakefield-induced energy spread in the main bunch. The energy spread may be made as low as 0.001%.
